Lennart Söder
Professor of Electric Power Systems at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, Stockholm, Sweden
Lennart Söder will talk about power system operation of today and future challenges with much larger amounts of variable power sources. One solution to these challenges is more communication, more control and more demand side management, but there are also other solutions. It can though be expected that much more intelligence will be present in the future power system since the cost decreases and the demand increases.
