Research plans and needs for the Nordic transmission-system operators 

Luleå University of Technology and IEEE Sweden, 11 November 2020, via Teams.

Registration (by November 4^th) on https://simplesignup.se/private_event/173568/d361cfe70a

There  is  lots of talk  about  changes in  electricity  production  and  consumption,  from LED  lamps to  electrification of the steel industry, from bicycle lanes producing electricity to a new generation of nuclear  power station. This webinar is not about all those changes, but about the large transmission system  covering Norway, Sweden and Finland, that ensures that it all works in the way that the customers want.

Today’s seminar will be given by the persons in charge of research at the transmission-system operators  in those three countries: Statnett, Svenska kraftnät and Fingrid. They will tell us about the ongoing  research and about their need for research, all so that they can keep on ensuring that everything will go  as it should. As the brief CVs below show, all three have many years of experience in R&D as seen from  the transmission system operator.
