  2. 1. Perspectives on bioenergy futures - International bioenergy trade and bioenergy expansion in a European policy context

    Author : Julia Hansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sweden; policy; CO2 credits; bioenergy trade; EU; biofuels; biofuels for transport; bioenergy; energy systems model; biomass; electricity;

    Abstract : Biomass can be used to substitute the use of fossil fuels in the energy system. Presently, the use of biomass is being promoted in Sweden and the rest of the EU by targets and policies. READ MORE

  4. 2. On Development Planning of Electricity Distribution Networks

    Author : Viktoria Neimane; KTH; []
    Keywords : Electric power systems; electricity distribution; planning; risk management; network optimization;

    Abstract : Future development of electric power systems must pursue anumber of different goals. The power system should beeconomically efficient, it should provide reliable energysupply and should not damage the environment. At the same time,operation and development of the system is influenced by avariety of uncertain and random factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. Watt’s next? On socio-technical transitions towards future electricity system architectures

    Author : Kristina Hojcková; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; electricity system; transition pathways; innovation system context; technological innovation system; future configurations; entrepreneurial activities; socio-technical transition;

    Abstract : In the effort to fight climate change, the electricity systems around the world are undergoing a transformation towards being based on renewable sources of energy.  The criterion of one hundred per cent renewables can, however, be satisfied in several radically different ways, varying from global or continental super grids via local smart-grids to self-sufficient off-grid communities and households of electricity prosumers.
