Swedish energy storage temperature control equipment

Should we study the Swedish energy system at national scale?

Hitherto studies have predominantly focused on electricity sector. Nevertheless, the targets for 2045 necessitates studying the Swedish energy system at national scale in the context of sector coupling & storage.

What is the future of Swedish energy system?

Summary of literature review. In case of the Swedish energy system, there are uncertainties surrounding the future of nuclear power plants, the anticipated increase in wind and solar PV installations, electrification trends, and the role of hydrogen in the steel industry [34, 35].

Is energy transition a key to achieving Sweden's national climate goals?

Energy transition plays a crucial role in reaching Sweden's national climate goals. This study demonstrates how integrating different sectors through power-to-x strategies can utilize excess electricity in systems with intermittent sources. It aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (affordable and clean energy) and 13 (climate action).

What energy sources does Sweden use?

Sweden has a diverse mix of energy sources. Domestically, it relies on hydropower, wind, and biomass. However, it imports fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, nuclear fuels, and a portion of biofuels from other countries . Fig. 1 illustrates the composition of different energy sources in the supply mix. Fig. 1.
