Hur skyddar vi Sveriges transmissionsnät i krig och kristider? I en debattartikel publicerad i Dagens Nyheter den 22 november skriver professor Mats Leijon att ett markkabelsystem ur försvarssynpunkt är robustare, tekniskt överlägset och mindre sårbart än det system av luftledningar som idag byggs av Svenska kraftnät (SVK). Att bygga upp landets transmissionsnät med luftledningar är oerhört sårbart menar Leijon och pekar på att detta borde vara uppenbart då Ukrainakriget visat hur lätt det är att slå ut luftledningar. För att få ett säkrare stamnät bör vi tvärtom gräva ner kablarna.

Last week, we hosted the Swedish-German Symposium (SGS 2024), welcoming researchers from universities in Cologne and Aachen, Germany, to discuss and explore the themes of AI and virtual test fields, renewable energy, and electric vehicles together with us. 🌟 The symposium took place November 12–13 at Uppsala University's Blåsenhus and Ångström Laboratory campuses and featured everything from research and poster presentations (including a fascinating presentation from the company AirForestry), to workshops on opportunities for future research collaborations as well as study visits to show parts of ongoing research activities within the symposium's themes. Thank you to all participants! We are now looking ahead to opportunities for further collaborations in research and teaching between the universities! 💡🤝

Under ett studiebesök i förra veckan visade vi vår forskning på smart energisystemstyrning och smarta laddningslösningar i mobilitetshuset Dansmästaren i Uppsala. Tack STUNS, UPPSALA PARKERINGS AB och Region Uppsala för ett mycket viktigt och givande besök! 💡🌟 Läs mer om projektet "Morgondagens mobilitetshus" här: https://lnkd.in/dtq5sR54

Back in 2013, we deployed the first marine current energy converter in the Dal River outside Söderfors to create a small-scale experimental station for marine currents in realistic settings. 🌊⚡ Since then, we've been running continuous experiments; here, we’re testing the turbine and generator placed on the riverbed which converts the river’s natural water flow into electricity ♻💡 #Research #RenewableEnergy #grönomställning

The latest episode of UppTalk – Can we give robots and prosthetic hands a sense of touch? – is now available on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/ggAkY54p   Listen to Docent Zhibin Zhang and Assistant Professor Libo Chen from Institutionen för elektroteknik, Uppsala universitet in a conversation about how to give robots and prosthetic hands a sense of touch similar to our own.

Last week, the students in the introduction course to the Master’s Programme in Engineering Physics presented their creative projects! 🌟 Their challenge was to build a device that uses electromagnetism to generate mechanical motion, and the projects ranged from small cannons and catapults to electric motors. ⚙️🔋 The projects are used to practice oral presentations, writing reports with scientific references, and giving feedback throughout the learning process - all while collaborating and having fun during the first few months of their five-year-long education programme! #StudyEngineering #ElectricalEngineering #UppsalaUniversity
