  1. 16. Modelling of the Flexibility of the Swedish Power System

    University essay from KTH/Elektriska energisystem

    Author : Ying Li; [2014]
    Keywords : flexibility; short-term planning; hydropower; thermal power;

    Abstract : This master thesis studies the flexibility of Swedish power system. Because of the increase of fuel price and the environmental issues, renewable energy plays an increasingly important role. Sweden parliament has a planning frame of 30 TWh wind power energy per year in 2020. Wind power generation is largely dependent of wind speed. READ MORE
