Market-oriented policies include: I The successful development of an international market in electricity. I Co-operation in the Baltic Sea region on energy, climate policy and wider trade issues. I Close consultation of government with industry, and a high level of industry awareness and voluntary activity. I Tax measures to encourage, but not micro-manage, the development of the energy sector in an economically efficient and environmentally sustainable way. Even so, the structure of the system could be improved. But there is a high level of government intervention in other areas. Energy policy in Sweden is influenced by several key decisions: I The decision to phase out nuclear power. I The commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Kyoto Protocol. I Limits to the further development of hydro resources. I The aim to use renewables and

  • Condition Measuring and Lifetime Modelling of Disconnectors, Circuit Breakers and Other Electrical Power Transmission Equipment
    Condition measuring and lifetime modelling of disconnectors, circuit breakers and other electrical power transmission equipment PER WESTERLUND Doctoral Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2017 TRITA-EE 2017:134 KTH Elektroteknisk teori och konstruktion ISSN 1653-5146 Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik ISBN 978-91-7729-543-3 SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden Akademisk avhandling som med tillstånd av Kungl Tekniska högskolan framläg- ges till offentlig granskning för avläggande av teknologie doktorsexamen i elektro- och systemteknik måndagen den 23 oktober 2017 klockan 13.15 i Kollegiesalen, Brinellvägen 8, Kungl Tekniska högskolan, Stockholm. © Per Westerlund, september 2017 Tryck: Universitetsservice US AB Abstract The supply of electricity is important in modern society, so the outages of the electric grid should be few and short, especially for the transmission grid.A summary of the history of the Swedish electrical system is presented. The objective is to be able to plan the maintenance better by following the condition of the equipment. The risk matrix can be used to choose which component to be maintained. The risk matrix is improved by adding a dimension, the uncertainty of the probability. The risk can be reduced along any dimension: better measurements, preventive maintenance or more redundancy. The number of dimensions can be reduced to two by following iso-risk lines calculated for the beta distribution. This thesis lists twenty surveys about circuit breakers and disconnectors, with statistics about the failures and the lifetime. It also presents about forty condition- measuring methods for circuit breakers and disconnectors, mostly applicable to the electric contacts and the mechanical parts. A method for scheduling thermography based on analysis of variance of the current is tried.

  • Network Development Plan 2016 – 2025
    NOVEMBER 2015 NETWORK DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016 – 2025 A Ten-Year Plan for the Swedish National Grid. SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Our society is dependent on electricity. Svenska kraftnät is responsible for ensuring that Sweden has a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective transmission system for electricity – today and in the future. We achieve this in the short term by monitoring the electrical system around the clock, and in the long term by building new power lines to meet tomorrow’s electricity needs. Cover photo Tomas Ärlemo Org. Nr 202100-4284 SVENSKA KRAFTNÄT Box 1200 172 24 Sundbyberg Sweden Sturegatan 1 Tel +46 10-475 80 00 Fax +46 10-475 89 50 www.svk.se/en PREFACE The board of Svenska kraftnät decided in April 2013 on a long-term plan document for the development of the Swedish National Grid. Long-term plan 2025 described the challenges for Svenska kraftnät in the 10 to 15 years term. The purpose was, among other things, to increase the transparency of Svenska kraftnät’s planning and to provide an opportunity for the various stakeholders in the electricity market to influence it. Until then, the national network planning mainly consisted of the three-year investment and financing plans that Svenska kraftnät annually provide to the Government. These plans are, however, primarily a description of how investments already decided are expected to turn out over the next three financial years. They do not give an account of the Administration’s long-term priorities and the grounds for them. A certain network planning is conducted also at Nordic level in order to identify grid reinforcements with specific benefit for the whole of the Nordic electricity market.

  • Swedish Nuclear Power Policy
    The Research Project Energy Opinion in Sweden Department of Political Science University of Gothenburg Per Hedberg Sören Holmberg April 2008 Swedish Nuclear Power Policy A Compilation of Public Record Material History Nuclear Power “In Sweden, nuclear technology started in 1947, when AB Atomenergi was constituted to carry out a development programme decided by the Parliament. As a result, the first research reactor went critical in 1954. This was followed by the first prototype nuclear power plant (PHWR) Ågesta located to a rock cavern in a suburb of Stockholm. The Ågesta reactor was mainly used for district heating and operated from 1964 until 1974, when it was permanently shut down. The first commercial nuclear power plant Oskarshamn 1 was commissioned in 1972 and was followed by another eleven units sited at Barsebäck, Oskarshamn Ringhals and Forsmark in the time period up to 1985. The twelve commercial reactors constructed in Sweden comprise 9 BWRs (ASEA-ATOM design) and 3 PWRs (Westinghouse design). As a result of political decisions, the twin BWR units Barsebäck 1 and 2 were finally shut down in 1999 and 2005 respectively. In 2004, Studsvik Nuclear decided to permanently shut down the two research reactors (R2 and R2–0) at the Studsvik site. They were closed in June 2005. The decision was taken on economical grounds, the licences had recently been extended until 2014, subject to certain conditions. The reactors were mainly used for commercial materials testing purposes, isotope production, neutron source for research purposes, medical applications and higher education. They are currently under decommissioning.” (From DS 2007:30:11-12) “Nuclear policy was the major domestic policy issue during the mid and late1970s.

    XA04C1328 BARSEBACK NUCLEAR PLANT FEBRUARY 99 by Ann-Christin Buch BarsebHck Kraft AB, Sweden OH of the plant Barsebdck Nuclear Power Plant is situated in the south of Sweden 19 km from Copenhagen in Denmark. Barsebdck Kraft AB is a private company, parent company is Sydkraft AB. Barsebdck data: 2 BWR-units, 615 MW each, 1975 and 1977 OH of Sweden There are 4 nuclear power plants in Sweden with a total of 12 reactors, 9 BTR-units (ABB) and 3 WR-units (Westinghouse). Further facts: w-ww.Udkraft.se The Threat of a Phase out of Barsebick 1 Current situation In December 1998 we are awaiting the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden whether the decision of the Swedish government to close Barsebdck is in accordance with the law. We have reason to believe our legal position is very strong. The Supreme Administrative court may even forward the case to the EC Court of Justice, since the case is unique. See Feb 24 98 below Barsebdck should, according to the government decision, have been closed before the 1" of July 1998, but the Supreme Administrative Court ruled on Stay of Execution, after Barsebdck Kraft had applied for judicial review. In parallel with the legal process Sydkraft, our parent company, continue a dialogue with the Government, which may result in an agreement between the two parts. In that case it will result in a co-operation between Sydkraft and Vattenfall (owned by the government), where the compensation for the loss of Barsebdck 1 will be shares in Ringhals Nuclear Power plant (Owned by the government via Vattenfall).
