Elkraftsystemets utformning Produktion Transmission (högspänning, >36kV) AC eller DC Distribution (mellanspänning, 1 36 kv) Konsumtion (lågspänning, <1kV) Konsumtion February 3, 2015 Slide 11
Elproduktion och konsumtion i Sverige Vattenkraften står för ca 47 % av produktionen Kärnkraften står för ca 42 % Vindkraft 2 % Hushållsektorn står för ca 22 % av konsumtionen Industrin förbrukar ca 40 % av elproduktionen Övrig sektor förbrukar ca 30 % Förlusterna utgör ca 8% av produktionen February 3, 2015 Slide 12
Elektrisk energi Mycket viktig för utveckling av dagens industrisamhälle Kan omvandlas till andra energiformer (mekaniskt arbete, belysning etc.) Kan transporteras över stora avstånd Vid överföring av elektrisk energi uppstår förluster Kan inte lagras, utan i varje tidsögonblick gäller: Elenergi genererad i kraftverken = Konsumerad elenergi + Förluster February 3, 2015 Slide 13
Högspänningskablar kontra Friledningar: Fördelar ingen visuell påverkan på miljön låga elektromagnetiska fält hög säkerhet för personal, inga överslag i luften påverkas inte av klimatet (vind, snö, is etc.) mindre risk för stöld lägre kostnader för underhåll mindre utnyttjande av land February 3, 2015 Slide 14

Example on Thermodynamics: Wind Power How large cable should we install? February 3, 2015 Slide 20
Thermodynamics: Wind Power Removed February 3, 2015 Slide 21
Example on Thermodynamics: Wind Power (content revised) Temperature depending on the load factor can then be calculated using time dependent FEM-calculation. Removed February 3, 2015 Slide 22
Example Mechanics: Floating Platforms Increasing O&G price -> Deep water -> Floating platforms Platforms traditionally energized by gas turbines with significant CO 2 emissions Power from shore to floating platforms is enabled by dynamic cables Gjöa: Power from shore (hydroelectric) > Substantial reduction of CO 2 emissions Approx. Reduction of CO 2 emissions corresponds to emissions from a constant line of cars from Göteborg to Stockholm Bumper to bumper, always driving Saves approx. 230 000 tons CO 2 per year February 3, 2015 Slide 23 Confidential
Example Mechanics: Floating Platforms The challenge: Reoccuring movements due to waves, wind and water current Cable will be exposed to fatigue (utmattning) How can we prove that is will last for 30 years?? February 3, 2015 Slide 24
Example Mechanics: Floating Platforms February 3, 2015 Slide 25
