Electricity
At the Division of Electricity, we study many different aspects of electricity and are a part of the important development towards a more sustainable future.
At the Division of Electricity (ELA), we study many different aspects of electricity: how renewable energy sources such as wind, waves and marine currents can be converted into useful electricity, electricity distribution and systems for energy storage, diamond electronics and plasma technology.
In addition to the scientific and experimental resources, the division also has a close collaboration with the industry and with other research groups around the world.
Profile areas
Renewable energy production
We study how renewable energy sources such as wind, waves and marine currents can be converted into useful electricity. Read more about our research on renewable energy production.
Power system analysis, electric power transmission and energy storage.
Research and development in power system issues will be an important part of the ongoing energy transition. Our power system is facing a series of changes and its function will play a key role in creating a sustainable society.
Electromobility
All-electric vehicles like cars, trains, boats and aircraft, are increasing in popularity. The focus of our research lies on power electronics and electrical converters; control strategies for the electric driveline; charging infrastructure and kinetic energy storage.
