News & Events

The third SESBC conference took place in Uppsala at Botaniska hotellet,15–16 October. The event was well attended with an increased number of participants since previous conference. The group discussions had a focus on preparation for the next phase of the centre. 

We congratulate Martin Lundberg on a successful PhD defence! Martin’s research has been part the Research & Innovation layer Systems in the project "Managing grid capacity with storage". 

HVAC is generally preferred for shorter distances due to its lower installation costs. In contrast, HVDC requires costly offshore converter platforms, making it less economical for shorter links.

The second centre Summer School, was held at Chalmers University of Technology on 19-21 August 2025. The theme was on long-term energy storage with focus on PEM fuel cells and electolysers.

Lithium-metal batteries are highly active and there is a need to make them safer. A new electrolyte concept has now been tested, with promising results, which can enable safer operations at high temperature.

Martin Lundberg, PhD student at Lund University, has in his research shown that it is technically possible and safe to use batteries, and other resources, to increase the grid capacity without exceeding its physical limitations.

The second SESBC workshop took place at the Brewhouse in Gothenburg 8 May. Focus was on consolidating the inputs from workshop 1 and to jointly define new projects for stage 2. And of course just to meet and get to know each other better.

On the 10th of December, experts and stakeholders gathered for a seminar hosted by SESBC to discuss cutting-edge developments in battery storage and power system resilience.

This memo describes how it is possible to with today's demands on reliability in electrical supply can run the Swedish power system without nuclear energy.
