The energy system is undergoing a global transformation motivated by climate and energy goals and growing energy demand. The United Nations has adopted a resolution for sustainable development with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030.
In 2020, the EU Framework Program for Research and Innovation put forward the call for the European Green Deal with €1 billion of investment to drive the green and digital transitions, with the goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and ambitious targets for large-scale electric vehicle deployment. In addition to political pressure, there are also geostrategic advantages to not relying on conventional energy resources.
This talk will present generic flexibility models that utilize battery storage, energy management systems and electric vehicles to create value for prosumers, grid operators and many other stakeholders. The presentation will include examples from research with real case studies.
Lina Bertling Tjernberg is Professor of Power Grid Engineering at KTH - The Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. She is deputy head of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) with a focus on research conditions and impact. She is a member of IVA, the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering.
Most recently, she was Director of the KTH Energy Platform (2018-2024), which coordinated and supported new research initiatives in the energy fields. She received the Power Woman of the Year award in 2021 for her work as a "strong force and guarantor of equal qualification opportunities in today's and future sustainable energy systems". In 2022, she was included in the Power List Energy, which lists 20 people in Sweden according to the criteria of "formal position, influence on the debate and impact on development and investment in the energy sector".
She is co-author of more than 140 scientific articles in journals and international conferences, including the book Infrastructure Asset Management with Power System Applications, CRC Taylor & Francis, 2018, and several chapters. She is one of the authors of the book Energy Anthology with two chapters "What is electricity?" and "Sustainable power grids - a prerequisite for the energy system of the future" as well as the recently published handbook on climate change with the chapter "17: The flexible grid infrastructure enabling power grid evolution and decarbonization".
