System and Integration Costs

The overall purpose of discussing these type of costs is the need to achieve a socio-economic and sustainable electricity supply where all consequences of different supply alternatives must be taken into account, not just the cost of a certain power plant costs. However, the question is much more complicated than to only specify a general cost in the form of a certain number of additional cents/kWh.
Both system costs and integration costs, can vary greatly depending on different assumptions about system structure. The report contains several numerical examples where the purpose is to show not only qualitative but also quantitative results for these costs for various assumptions about system structure.

System and Integration Costs 2021-801
In this report, we have studied the possibilities and challenges of estimating total system costs for a future power system and also the definition and estimation of integration costs.

Bayesian Methods for Preventive Maintenance
The context of this research is about the simple idea of assessing the optimal time for preventive maintenance based on available information to us from SCADA data of wind turbines. The approach is quantitative, measurable and repeatable. As a result, the contexts of these results belong in reliability and safety engineering and preventive maintenance of wind turbines.

Analysis of Vacuum Breaker Generated Transients in a 36kV Wind Farm Cable Grid
In this project it is investigated how the high frequency transients (HF) in a cable grid influence connected equipment. Both generation and propagation as well as protection is studied.

Wind Power In Forests II
Sweden has good conditions for wind power. However, most of Sweden (ca. 70%) is covered by forest. Forests decrease wind speeds and create turbulence, something which is not favourable for wind power.
