Smart Grid enables a change to a sustainable energy
system
New political targets, with main focus on
• Reduction of CO2 emission
• Energy efficiency
• Renewable power generation
• Reliability and security
Integration of renewable energy sources
Challenge: Availability of emission free balance power
Consumption
Production
Source: SvK
Wind and Solar requires more balance power
Smart Grid enables balance by increased transmission
capacity and integrated active consumers
Planning targets for Sweden
