STandUP for Energy –
research proposal
STandUP for Energy – Executive Summary
STandUP for Energy – summary of research proposal
This response to the government’s call in the strategic research field of Energy is unique not
only in scope, size and strength, but also since it marks the first step in the creation of a
Swedish Energy Research Organization that can compete on the highest international level in
terms of volume, quality and impact. Given the global challenges of climate change mitigation
and the transformation to a sustainable energy system, focused university and industry R&D
is essential to reach ambitious national and global targets for the reduction of climate impact
and increased renewable energy production.
An Energy research alliance for the future
Uppsala University (UU) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm both
have very broad and strong - often world leading - energy research capacities ranging from
basic long-term studies to applied research and commercialization in intimate collaboration
with industry. The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), also based in Uppsala,
is leading in many areas of bio-fuel production and use. Together these three universities,
hereafter referred to as STandUP (see Fig. 1), form by far the most significant cluster of
energy research in the country. University management at all three STandUP universities are
committed to building an alliance within Energy research that reaches beyond this particular
call, and into all Energy-relevant areas.
STandUP aims to create an environmentfertilizing interaction between researchers within
STandUP and with industry in order to address
today’s most critical energy problems. The
geographical vicinity of the universities allows for
mobility of personnel, collaboration such as joint
positions and courses, and sharing of laboratory
facilities. The many strong industries within
Energy and transportation also present in the
region add a further dimension for interaction and
mobility. New ideas, new technologies and short
lead times for commercialization of the results in
new or existing industries are equally important as
enhanced academic knowledge, competence and
skills for the future.
Fig. 1 The STandUP vision and
Research themes
The STandUP proposal
The expressed primary aims of this proposal, which covers a large subset of STandUP’s total
energy activities, are to reinforce research on large-scale renewable electricity production and
its integration into the electricity network, and electric (including hybrid) vehicles - which
will be a major future component of the electricity system. In addition, the contribution of
biomass to sustainable and cost efficient production of transport fuels and electricity is a key
focus area.
Within the STandUP group, UU has a strong profile in terms of the generation, storage, and
use of energy. New and mature technologies are studied at both the basic and applied level, as
is their interplay with the grid. At KTH, research is focused within electrical engineering on
integration of renewable electricity into the grid and hybrid and electric propulsion systems.
Within bio-fuel production, SLU is strong within plant biotechnology, plant production
systems, microbial bio-fuels fermentation, ecology and environmental assessment. KTH and
SLU are complementary in the bio energy area, where KTH’s profile includes bio-refining of
lignocelluloses and thermo-chemical conversion of biomass. All three universities also have
strong and unique competence on the Energy system per se, with research on systems

analysis, environmental assessment, decision making and socio-technical issues. To optimize
the response to the current call the STandUP group is complemented by Luleå University of
Technology (LTU) with expertise in hydro power, by Halmstad University College (HIH)
with expertise in wind power demonstrators, and a number of research institutes: IVL, STRI
AB, SICS, Skogforsk and JTI.
The STandUP proposal is divided into distinct though strongly coupled research themes. All
themes will be addressed from a systems perspective where our competence and research
within Systems analysis, environmental assessment and decision making will act as a platform
for all our activities to ensure that the most relevant issues are addressed in their true practical
context. For each of the themes we have identified the most important critical problems to
solve:
For Renewable electricity generation: To reduce the cost per kWh for the consumer through
development of new technologies and the optimisation of existing technologies.
For Integration into and management of the Electricity Grid: To enable cost-efficient
transformation of the grid to accommodate large scale variable production of electricity from
intermittent sources such as the wind while retaining high levels of reliability.
For Electric Propulsion and Hybrid Vehicles: To develop technologies and optimised
systems for hybrid and electric vehicles integrating solutions for energy storage, the grid
supply interface, and propulsion systems.
For Biorefineries and Biofuel production: to develop new technologies (Biomass-torefinery) for production of bio fuels for transportation and production of electricity.
Size, focus and management of STandUP
The proposal covers activities amounting to 100 MSEK in annual funding from 2012 and
onwards, primarily for research on renewable production of electricity and its integration into
the grid, but with the other components still being very significant.
An organisation as wide and deep as STandUP needs an effective organisation. The
collaboration will be managed by a program coordinator with a reference council at their
disposal. The STandUP concept is designed to support and develop focused and
complementary research profiles within the collaborating universities, to enhance
collaboration between these, and to optimize interaction with industry. Reporting to the
university management on a regular basis is therefore important to ensure alignment in
strategic issues. Within STandUP, forums for collaboration will be created on several planes
ranging from university level to the individual research group. A central management target is
that the integrated STandUP environment will ensure new and exciting merit-based career
paths for promising younger researchers, both towards academia and industry. Proactive
treatment of gender and equality issues will remove undesirable career hinders.
The European Institute of Technology
STandUP is participating as a core member in a European consortium led by Karlsruhe
Institute of Technology vying for a KIC (Knowledge and Innovation Centre) focused on grid
integration in the coming European Institute of Innovation and Technology. Such a KIC
would further enhance the strong university and industry educational, research and innovation
node in the Stockholm-Uppsala region. The activities described in this proposal would form
an important component in such a KIC, and enhance the chances of successfully building a
KIC in Sweden.

STandUP for Energy – Research Programme
1 INTRODUCTION
This proposal is a response to the Energy strategic area in the government’s call of 4th Feb
2009 which, in turn, is closely related to the challenges of climate change. The expressed focus of this proposal is to reinforce research on large-scale renewable electricity production
and its integration into the electricity network and electric (including hybrid) vehicles, which
will be a major future component of the electricity system. In addition, the sustainable contribution of biomass and cost efficient production of transport fuels, and electricity will be a key
focus area.
1.1 The STandUP partners and The Priority for Energy Research
The partners of the STandUP group form the single most significant cluster of energy research
competence in the country demonstrating high international standard in vital areas and with
complementary expertise and research methods amongst the partners. Energy research at UU
has a strong profile in terms of the renewable electric generation, storage, and propulsion systems. New and mature technologies are studied at both the basic and applied level. At KTH, a
major area of research focus is integration of renewable electricity into the grid and hybrid
and electric propulsion systems. KTH and SLU are strongly complementary in the bioenergy
area, where KTH’s profile includes biorefining of lignocellulosics and thermo-chemical conversion of biomass while SLU’s focus lies within plant biotechnology, plant production systems, microbial biofuels fermentations, ecology and environmental assessment. As a further
strength, the core group of the STandUP partnership are all located within the Mälardalen
region, adding value for important aspects such as mobility of personnel, collaboration and
sharing of laboratory facilities. The constellation is, for this proposal, complemented by Luleå
University of Technology (LTU) with expertise in hydro- and wind power, by Halmstad University College (HIH) with expertise in wind power and a number of research institutes: IVL,
STRI AB, SICS, Skogforsk and JTI.
An additional activity by core members of the STandUP group is participation in a European
consortium led by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, vying for a KIC – Knowledge and Innovation Centre in the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). The aim of
STandUP is to form a strong node in the Stockholm-Uppsala region. Should STandUP also be
successful in establishing a KIC, the activities would be enhanced significantly through additional funding and co-operation with an elite group of universities and research centres at a
European level. This current proposal can supply the increase in public funding necessary to
match the funds from private industry, STandUP and EU as required by the EIT regulations.
1.2 UU - Uppsala University
Since 2003 energy research has been one of five profile areas for Uppsala University. Specifically, renewable energy is a target for several strong research groups targeting the generation,
storage, and use of energy. This research includes the exploitation of sun, wind, waves, marine currents, hydro and geothermal for producing electricity using entirely new technologies.
It also includes integration into electrical power systems and power components. UU has
worked actively to support and enhance the energy research profile, with considerable allocations of new internal research support. For example, in addition to the normal reallocation of
funds, where energy research is already favoured, the Rector (Vice Chancellor) allocated 40%
of his specifically directed “strategic” 2009 funding reinforcement to energy research. Today,
about 20% of the total external funding to the faculty of Engineering and Science is explicitly
allocated for energy research. Uppsala University hosts “The Swedish Centre for Renewable
Electric Energy Conversion” and is a partner in the Swedish Hydro Power Centre” and the
Nordic excellence centre on “Ocean Energy”. Uppsala is active in several 6th and 7th framework programs both on the Renewable generation part, HEV batteries and the European grid
1 (15)
part. Industrial collaboration and industrialization of new products and systems is especially
outstanding at Uppsala. In the US DoE, and US Amb. Woods 2007 ranking of the “CleanTech” area in Sweden, 5 out of 30 companies originate from Uppsala University.
1.3 KTH – The Royal Institute of Technology
KTH has consistently worked to achieve a productive balance between high-quality basic and
applied research. The university’s 2008 evaluation of its research base1 (RAE) established that
two thirds of its research groups produce basic research at the highest international levels, two
thirds produce applied research at these same levels, and a full half produced both basic and
applied research at the highest international levels. To build on existing research excellence
and strength, KTH has defined five distinct research focus areas; Transport, Energy2, Materials, Information and Communication Technologies, and Technology for Health. Research in
these areas is currently being consolidated under cross-cutting Platforms. Energy research at
KTH has an annual total budget of approximately 300 MSEK, of which about one third comes
from faculty funds. The other two thirds are external (industry, research councils and foundations and EU grants). Energy research and education employ ~35 professors, ~90 senior researchers, and ~270 PhD students in the various KTHschools. Eight energy focused research
centres are located at KTH, in addition to a number of centres3 in which KTH participates
actively. In addition, KTH faculty members are involved, in several cases as coordinators, in a
large number of research projects in the 6th and 7th framework programs related to the Energy
sector. KTH ensures it plays an active role in international research and education networks.
KTH currently chairs “CLUSTER”4, Europe’s leading university network of technology for
Research, Education and Innovation. Amongst other international initiatives, KTH is particularly active in China having established the KTH-China Energy Centre as well as six further
research centres with Chinese universities.
1.4 SLU – Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
SLU’s “Strategy for research, education and environmental monitoring 2009-2012”5 emphasises bioenergy as a strategic area within the university’s research focus on understanding and
mitigating climate change. SLU is a longstanding strong national and international actor in
research on production systems and environmental impact of bioenergy. The Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences at SLU in Uppsala has recently allocated strategic
resources for excellent research and for thematic programs, co-financed with stakeholders, on
bioenergy research. In order to optimize interaction and cooperation between its departments
the faculty in 2007 launched a faculty Bioenergy program. SLU cooperates with institutions in
more than 120 countries and is a member of several high-quality networks of Life-Science
universities in Europe, such as Euro League, NOVA and BOVA and has long and fruitful cooperation with developing countries. The development work includes missions for international and global organizations, such as the EU, FAO and the World Bank.
2 ENERGY SYSTEM VISION
Concerns about climate change require a reformulation of energy problems in a quest for systems alternatives with low impact on environment and health. Solutions are needed to mitigate
and adapt to climate change while at the same time guaranteeing a sustainable delivery of en-

2 (15)
ergy services and, ultimately, the welfare of modern society. Solutions are to be explored in a
context of complex human systems with close interaction with natural systems.
The STandUP groups envision a future society that is provided with renewable, highly reliable and cost efficient energy for its residential, commercial, transportation and industrial
needs. This vision implies that electricity is supplied to these sectors predominantly using
renewable sources. For the transport sector, combustible fuels based on biomass will contribute significantly in conjunction with solutions based on electricity as an energy carrier. For
the electricity grid, this demands interconnection of a large number of geographically distributed renewable energy farms. It also requires that the transmission and distribution system be
built with components that exhibit low losses and high reliability and that the system is designed to manage the uncontrollable aspects of some renewable sources using sophisticated
control algorithms and information and communication technologies.
To reach the vision, society in general and the power industry in particular clearly face a series of challenges that must be addressed by researchers that produce knowledge, education,
methods, and products that will work in the true socio-technical context.
Globally, renewable energy technologies still play only a marginal role in electricity provision. To change this, more efficient and cost-effective solutions need to be devised, while
technical, financial and institutional barriers to the dissemination of renewable technologies
are addressed. The integration of large quantities of renewable electricity into the grid system
presents new technical challenges in terms of management and optimization of the grid system from the transmission and distribution levels to the consumer level. New smart power
grids to deal with intermittent renewable generation and to enable the development of efficient
power markets while retaining electricity supply reliability are necessary.
For both society and the business sector, an efficient road transportation system is of paramount importance. We rely today almost entirely on fossil fuel but sustainability requires new
generations of vehicles driven by stored electricity, hydrogen or fuel from biomass. For personal transport electric vehicles will become common, if the cost-effectiveness and range can
be increased. This demands cost efficient, compact, safe and reliable energy storage in combination with efficient electrical propulsion and other on-board systems. The plug-in hybrid is
an important intermediate step for a successful transformation of the transportation system. In
Sweden, the bioenergy sector, already important for heating, is becoming more diversified
including electricity and biofuels for transport. In this context, the conversion of biomass as
well as lignocellulosic remains from various end-products (pulp, paper, packaging, etc.) into
fuels is anticipated to become relevant.
3 DEVELOPMENT OF LEADING-EDGE RESEARCH
Our overriding aims are the reduction of costs for large-scale introduction of renewable and
environmentally sustainable electricity delivered to the consumer, as well as the development
of more cost effective and energy efficient hybrid and electric vehicles. The following research targets will, in the present call, be addressed within the context of their different roles
in relation to our largest man-made system, the electrical power system:
A. New renewable technologies as well as methods for analysis and design for optimisation of available technologies to enable cost-efficient large scale generation of electricity from renewable sources.
B. Technologies and methods, including automation, communication, control, planning
and supervision, that enable cost-efficient transformation of the transmission & distribution system to accommodate large scale variable production of electricity while retaining high levels of reliability.
3 (15)
C. Technologies and optimised systems for hybrid and electric vehicles including solutions for grid supply.
D. Biomass-to-refinery technologies, incorporating supply of biomass, plant biotechnology through bio/chemical polygeneration, for production of biofuels for transportation
and production of electricity.
All of the above research targets need to be addressed from a systems perspective, integrating
issues such as the environmental and social impact of technologies as well as decision making
in and around socio-technical and technical-ecological systems. This systems approach also
includes that the research targets will all be approached with a philosophy incorporating application of front-line competence from analytical theory, computer simulations, and lab experiments to full scale on-site experiments and commercialisation. All in order to facilitate
that innovations and ideas that arise from the research best lead to:
• Development and implementation of new technologies and practices aiming at new
energy systems solutions that satisfy the criteria of sustainability
• Products and/or systems and/or services, which can be implemented in existing industries or serve as a foundation for new industries
• Practices and policies that will help disseminate technologies and promote desirable
technological paths to benefit society in a sustainable way.
4 RESEARCH THEMES
To reach the above mentioned targets, five research themes will be strengthened and developed within the STandUP partnership. The proposed work within these themes builds on already established research groups with proven excellence and relevance to industry and society. The presentation of the research themes addresses the development needs reflected in the
Government’s call, and since this structure cuts through several traditional scientific disciplines some research groups are present in several of the areas. Additionally, the research
theme on Systems Analysis and Environmental Assessment is a cross-cutting activity that
complements the technically oriented areas.
4.1 Systems analysis, environmental assessment and decision making
To be sustainable, energy systems have to be defined within boundaries set by climate, environment and socio-technical contexts over time. To handle this complexity, a systems analysis
approach is necessary. Technological systems solutions based on renewable resources and
capable of operating at high efficiency need to be devised and disseminated. Yet, a successful
shift towards renewable systems depends not only on technological progress but also on political and social institutions, whereby policies, legislation and cognitive structures are important determinants.
4.1.1 Current quality of the research in international comparison
Within the STandUP partnership, systems analysis is a strong and highly innovative research
area with both theoretical and applied research. Many of these environments at KTH were
highlighted in the RAE 2008. The ability to develop mathematical models for simulation and
optimization, and the application of decision making tools is a main competence in the partnership. In addition, KTH has very strong research groups in historical studies of sociotechnical systems, in industrial dynamics and in strategic environmental studies. At Uppsala
University there is long-standing research at a high international level on political institutions,
legislation, and decision-making. SLU has a strong competence in theory development and
systems analysis of terrestrial ecosystems, as well as in applied systems analysis including
energy efficiency and bioenergy supply in the agricultural sector. SLU also has a unique com-
4 (15)
petence in environmental effects, as regards production and soil ecology and conservation
biology, of intensive harvesting and mitigating practices.
4.1.2 Plans for development of leading edge research
Systems shifts and systems interactions for climate change mitigation and adaptation
Efficient and sustainable energy solutions demand understanding of the interaction between
society, various infrastructure systems and the natural environment. Conflicts regarding e.g.
water use and river management will arise as use of (intermittent) renewables increases. Energy systems are likely to evolve differently in different countries. Understanding technological path developments is important for seizing market opportunities for Swedish industries.
Institutions, industrial dynamics and decision-making
Historians, political scientists, economists, psychologists, legal experts and policy analysts
will together analyse technological shifts allowing us to pursue a broad spectrum of studies
aimed at analysing obstacles (political, legal, economic etc.) to the introduction of sustainable
energy systems, changing institutional conditions in energy markets in Sweden, the industrial
dynamics and transformations of Swedish energy-related manufacturing industries, and energy innovation and entrepreneurship. We will construct future scenarios of renewable energy
systems and make back-casting analysis of these scenarios. This will allow the evaluation of
decisions needed within a context of political and institutional forces, as well as in relation to
the cultural/psychological and environmental contexts that shape such decisions.
Environmental impact assessment
A major expansion of renewable energy from biomass calls for new tools for limiting the environmental impacts of intensive harvesting systems. Presently ~25% of the energy supply in
Sweden is from biomass, predominantly from conventional forestry. Optimization of decision
making tools for forest energy supply will thus have a profound impact on the energy system.
We intend to develop planning and decision making tools that integrate data from environmental databases with our scientific knowledge of environmental consequences of intensive
harvesting. The “expert system” we aim to develop will be clearly operational in practise and
will be developed in co-operation with The Forest Research Institute (Skogforsk). It will optimize the utilization of biomass, allow for backtracking of certain biomass batches, optimize
estimates of needs of mitigation measures and help balance conflicting environmental goals.
4.2 Renewable Production of Electricity
The overall aim of the research theme, the reduction of cost per kWh of renewable electric
energy delivered to society, requires new generation sustainable technologies, improved existing technologies, and novel solutions for flexible regulatory power systems to stabilize the
impact of intermittent energy sources. Studies of individual components in the chain from
source to consumer will be integrated in a systems approach.
STandUP expertise includes basic and applied competence in electricity generation from
Wind, Wave, Solar, Hydro, Marine Currents, Bio-fuel plants and Geothermal plants. Recently
performed international peer-reviews6 of the groups resulted in evaluations such as“world
leading in generators and systems”, “the work done on aero-elasticity at full scale, unique in
size and sophistication of the measurements among university laboratories”. Several groups rank
high above the international average with regards to field normalized citation scores. Our staff
are outstanding in an international comparison in terms of e.g. citations and patents (see CVs).

Some distinguished awards7 such as, the “Chevalier de L’Ordre National du Mérite”, from the
French President and the "ASME Dedicated Service Award". Current external funding to staff
is approx. 90 MSEK/year. Most of the 15PhDs produced per year continue either in (international) university research or in industry. As one of ten groups in Europe and the only one in
Sweden, via the FP 6 program EUSUSTEL 2004 STandUP researchers obtained funds for EU
2020 renewable grid perspective comprising wave power, hydro power, geothermal power
and marine current power. Staff participate in many international bodies including the IEA,
IPCC, CIGRE, WEC (World Energy Council) and EU organs, and coordinate large European
level projects, e.g. FUTURE8 with a budget of over 120 MSEK. STandUP staff also have central roles in the production of national energy reviews under e.g. the auspices of IVA and
KVA9.
One key to experimental success is our unique ability to calculate and simulate electromagnetic power products and systems based on fundamental physics and e.g. FEM solvers. This
approach can model entire systems, including grid interaction together with mechanical, aerodynamical, and fluid mechanical interactions involving turbines and absorbers of high-level
mechanical energy. Today, the partners have world unique operational national and international full-scale laboratories and demonstration plants in Porjus (Hydropower), Lysekil
(Wave power) and Marsta (Wind power). Ongoing research will develop new full scale laboratories in Söderforsen (Marine Current power) and Falkenberg (Wind power) in the near future. Some of the experimental plants are already grid connected. The quality of the applied
science within the units is further demonstrated by the hosting of several very large externally
financed centres, such as the Swedish Centre for Electric Renewable Energy Conversion10,
Molecular devices11, the Linnaeus FLOW centre12 and Turbopower13. Several spin-off electricity production and grid integration companies have been created including Solibro, Seabased, Vertical Wind and Current Power.
In 2008 the US Amb ranked the wave power spinoff company Seabased as No. 1 of Swedens
“CleanTech” companies. In his 30 Best “CleanTech” list 2007, Vertical Wind and Solibro
were also ranked. The group at UU represents world leading competence in developing PM
synchronous generators when it comes to a holistic optimisation of wind parks both with respect to turbine operation and with respect to substation efficiency, as indicated by the “12
Bill Gates” nomination of Vertical Wind by WWF 2008.
Hydro power systems
Hydroelectricity production in Sweden can be increased from today’s ~65TWh/year and will
be increasingly used to regulate intermittent production from e.g. wind. This presents new
technical challenges for hydro-plants, for river system management and for the total management of the grid system. Activities include:
• Analysis for upgrading of existing large-scale hydro-turbines using simulations and
experimental verification. Optimised design of new and upgraded small-scale plants.
• Modelling and analysis of the interaction of components, e.g. turbo rotor string, generator with the grid, given the requirements above.

Models and analysis on the use of hydro power as a balancing resource for power and
energy on the system level under liberalised market conditions.
Thermal fuel-flexible biomass driven polygeneration plants
Biomass is the largest Swedish energy source classified as renewable, and production can be
increased. Especially interesting are combined electricity-heating plants, Challenges include
growth and preparation of the raw material, combustion and thermo/aerodynamics of future
turbines, the use of remaining heat and treatment of the emissions. We will develop:
• Analysis techniques to reach high efficiencies with small-scale machines (optimal
from a user perspective) including catalytic combustion for low emissions.
• Biomass adapted gas turbines and studies on efficiency increases in steam turbines.
• Environmentally sound biomass production and forest harvesting methods cf 4.1.2 and
4.4.2.
Wind energy conversion and integration
Efficient wind electricity generation from groups or “farms” demands development of individual components, park design allowing for wake interactions, and facilities suitable for extreme climate (arctic and offshore). Effective research on real, functioning systems such as
fully electrically controlled turbines must integrate several areas including turbine aeroelasticity, generator design and performance, interconnection in parks, and studies of part-load and
over-load behavior of the grid. Topics include:
• Development and system optimization of parks and individual turbines e.g. vertical
axis turbines connected to direct driven PM synchronous generators on the ground,
which have the potential for producing simple, robust and inexpensive power plants.
• Modelling of traditional wind turbines, including ice build-up models and large scale
simulation tools for accurate modelling of complex terrain as well as aeroelasticity and
spreading of noise from turbines.
Wave energy conversion
Global wave power is estimated as 1-10 TW, and within EU and Nordic territory ~2000
TWh/year and ~700 TWh/year respectively. The buoy-linear generator system concept (Fig.
1) developed at UU represents world leading technology. It is on the threshold of becoming
the first commercial wave energy technology in the world. A successful test station with land
connection of generated power has been demonstrated at
Lysekil since 2006. Continuous operation has been recorded
for almost 13 months, which enables this technology to be
the first accepted by Department of Trade and Industry UK
for grid connection. Main targets are:
•
Fig. 1 Illustration of the buoy-linear
generator system
Optimization of Wave energy plants through analytic calculation, computer simulation and verifying
experiments regarding energy absorption, electricity
conversion with high efficiency, grid integration,
hydrodynamics and environmental impact.
• Design of large scale wave power integration of
plants from 150 -1000 MW and beyond, using both
traditional transmission technology and patented
grid systems.
• Development of power system control and monitoring of large scale parks.
7 (15)
Marine current energy conversion
Marine currents are a vast, largely untapped and highly predictable energy resource. The experimental plant now under construction will enable experimental verification of the design’s
analytical calculations and computer simulations. The research covers:
•
•
•
•
Analysis and design of vertical-axis technology that can harness energy competitively
from low speed marine currents (<2 m/s), using very low speed PM synchronous generators and power electronic systems with high working efficiency and durability.
Mapping and evaluation of the energy resource in the Nordic countries, including watercourses and tidal waves.
Development of monitoring and control of multi-unit large scale systems.
Research for innovative new concepts.
Sustainable solar energy conversion
The large solar resource can be tapped thermally (steam and turbine), photovoltaically (solar
cells) or via conversion of solar energy to fuels, e.g. hydrogen. Challenges include for thermal
efficient concentration, the materials involved and thermal storage for “solar downtime”, and
for solar cells improved efficiency for e.g. semiconductor thin film (e.g. CIGS) and molecular
and nanosolar cells. Research will focus on nanostructures with the ambition to achieve energy conversion efficiencies beyond the Shockley-Quiesser limit of 32%. The near-term goal
is to break the world record of a thin film solar cell by matching the best layers and bring the
STandUP present 18.5 % technology to 20 % efficiency. The proposed research covers:
• Characterization and modelling of co-evaporation processes for CIGS layers. Development of techniques for improved quality of transparent conducting oxides.
• Development of solar concentration techniques and/for solar thermal turbomachines and storage of thermal solar energy.
Geothermal energy
The vast geothermal resource is used extensively in Sweden for heating, but not yet electricity
production. STandUP is engaged in successful geothermal projects abroad (e.g. Iceland),
prospecting for hot permeable areas. If suitable permeability at sufficient depth can be found
or induced in Sweden, then electricity production becomes viable. We will develop:
• Prospecting tools for deep permeability in (meta)sediments, active faults and episyanites (crystalline rock with up to 10% porosity, common in Sweden)
• Enhanced geothermal extraction by via e.g. better heat exchangers.
4.3 Integration into the Electricity Network
The overall aim is the cost-efficient transformation of the transmission & distribution system
to accommodate large scale variable production of electricity while retaining high levels of
reliability. The mission is twofold; first development of methods and tools for analysis and
design of flexible transmission and distribution systems; second, development of algorithms
and methods for control and operation of such systems including analysis and design of controllable power system components and integrated information and control systems.
The research within this theme brings together expertise from leading groups within integration of wind power into the electricity system, information and control systems for power system management, power electronics and high voltage engineering. Several of the involved
groups has been evaluated as “well organized and in many ways the most advanced university
unit in its field in the Nordic countries”14. This evaluation also showed that the units were of
14
www.kth.se/forskning/rae/1.28085?l=en_UK
8 (15)
high international scientific standing with a field normalized citation score significantly (34%)
above the international average. As an indicator of the group’s strong industry relevance and
the close industry cooperation, 60% of the annual external funding of 30 MSEK comes from
the power industry. The units together produce on average 9 PhDs per year, with a majority
going into research at universities or in industry nationally and internationally. Staff exhibit
outstanding scholarship as demonstrated by high citation ratings, assignments as principal
investigator for a government study on grid connection of renewable generation, and as advisors in all significant power system control centre projects in the Nordic region.
Staff have been elected to positions such as Fellow of the IEEE, and been awarded prizes such
as the Gold Medal from the Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. Several staff serve as
the national representative in international working groups e.g. the IECs Strategic Management Board study group on Smartgrids, IEA’s Annex XXV “Integration of large amounts of
wind power” and CIRED’s session advisory group on Power System Operation. KTH has also
arranged courses in power system control that have been attended by hundreds of power utility managers from 75 different countries across the world.
The applied nature of the field implies close co-operation with industry and access to lab infrastructure both for testing of power system components and for studies of system level phenomena.
Integrated Operation, Control and Design of Flexible transmission grids
For optimal, yet secure, design and operation of the grid it is essential to continuously monitor
the variable power flows induced by intermittent renewable sources and to steer the system
effectively. A number of new technologies are being developed to support these developments. Measurement technologies such as PMU (Phasor Measurement Units) form the foundation for efficient and flexible power system control. Control is also improved by flexible
power components such as FACTS technologies and developments within HVDC/MTDC.
For traditional components, higher levels of demanded manoeuvrability imposes new requirements. Prerequisite for optimised and secure operation of transmission grids is a secure,
high-performing and reliable ICT infrastructure. The work within this area will involve:
• Converter and system design of HVDC and FACTS technologies as well as new designs of FACTS and efficient modelling to allow simulation of large systems.
• Development of linear and non-linear control strategies based on WAMS (Wide Area
Measurement Systems) and FACTS, HVDC and PSS, as well as coordination of such
controllers.
• Development of models and methods for prediction of wide area information and control systems behaviour, including system security, reliability and performance.
• Development of design and modelling techniques for high power electromechanical
systems providing operation endurance of coupling devices with frequent manoeuvres.
• Development of stochastic models and methods for planning and operation of large
power systems including significant variable production sources
Intelligent automation and protection of grids with large amounts of intermittent sources
With large intermittent input from e.g. wind power, traditional power flows will change as
will the electro-mechanical behaviour of the power system. In addition, the increasing use of
technologies including converters, such as HVDC, also means that the number of rotating
masses directly connected to the power system will decrease. It is desirable to utilize renewable energy as much as possible when it can deliver the most, implying that sub-grids must
withstand high stress without jeopardizing the reliability of the system. These developments
9 (15)
V
together mean that traditional ways of handling faults and contingencies must evolve to new
intelligent automation and protection systems. Research activities will include:
• Development of coordination of protection systems and control systems in HVDC and
FACTS, including DC protection systems, that enable risk mitigation of cascading
faults resulting in black-outs.
• Development of new monitoring techniques to achieve optimum utilisation of components, including DC and PWM controlled equipment, by monitoring the actual thermal, mechanical and electrical stresses thereby cutting design margins.
• Design of robust, safe and secure automation, protection and control systems through
development of models for analysis of reliability, security and performance of the
ICT- systems interaction with the power system management process.
Infrastructure for usage centric electric power systems
Power delivery naturally focused on the balance between production and consumption. Traditionally, however, the consumption side of the market has had little attention and customers
have been no more than “loads”. It is foreseeable that consumers will play a much more active
role on the market. Driving forces in this development may be the introduction of electric vehicles, which in addition to charging needs may also serve as energy storage devices, and
small scale production from e.g. wind and solar power. In order to enable this future scenario,
the grids, the ICT infrastructure and the customer services for power delivery need to be extensively enhanced. The proposed activities, to be conducted in close collaboration with the
Energy management for hybrid and all-electric vehicles activity in section 4.3 are:
• Methods for planning, design and analysis of highly reliable distribution networks that
enable micro-level generation, centralised charging locations for electric vehicles and
distributed energy storage.
• Methods for optimising the performance, security and interoperability of the ICT infrastructure necessary to provide the needed customer services.
4.4 Electric Propulsion and Hybrid Vehicles
Hybrid and all electric vehicles hold the potential to dramatically decrease the energy consumption and environmental impact of road vehicles. In order to succeed with a broad commercial introduction research in battery technology is imperative. The aim is to find cost efficient, compact, safe and reliable energy storage possibilities in combination with efficient
electrical propulsion and other on-board systems. This also involves the development of
highly efficient and cost effective power electronic converters. Hybrid vehicles will to some
extent be dependent on internal combustion engines. It is therefore also important to incorporate a system analysis approach as well as to develop e.g. bio-fuels in order to make the total
ecological footprint as small as possible. Grid connection of vehicles will substantially contribute to lower CO2 emission, given the energy mix of the Swedish electricity system.
The participating groups represent extensive expertise in batteries (see Fig. 2) and fuel cells,
electric propulsion systems, internal combustion engines and energy management for hybrid
and all electric vehicles. The joint activities for battery and fuel cell research at UU and KTH
forms one of the largest groups in Europe with a unique profile spanning from the synthesis of
new materials and battery concepts to the industrial testing and modelling of batteries in real
applications. Concerning electric drive systems, the partners have a long track record filled
with innovative solutions in the automotive industry.
The STandUP partners have a documented strong tradition of engagement in national programs in the area of hybrid and electric vehicles, such as Programrådet för FordonsForskning
(PFF), the Green Car, The Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation Initiative (FFI), Energy
10 (15)
systems in road vehicles, Mistra’s Fuel cell programme, as well as centres as the Swedish Hybrid Vehicle Centre (SHC), ECO2 and Cicero, all involving the automotive industry.
STandUP participates in several EU-programs, is national representatives in IEA-annexes and
currently attracts ~55 MSEK in annual external funding for research in the field not including
work on ICEs, involving about a dozen research groups. The ~10 PhD relevant graduates per
year do not satisfy the present needs of industry. Awards of merit include prizes for the battery research. A staff member is an editor of J. Materials Chem., and coordinator of the EUprogram SUPERLION. Staff have also been actively leading an initiative to develop an educational programme for both university students and industrial engineers within the Green Car
project. Strong patents in electric propulsion systems have led to spin-offs e.g. Electric Line.
Vehicle research is a cross-disciplinary activity that requires an environment where key results from different areas can merge and melt together. A joint, unique and long-term initiative between all research groups at UU and KTH involved in driveline and vehicle research
will be achieved through a collaboration to initiate, implement and coordinate research towards realistic demonstration of radically new vehicle concepts of the future. This will be
achieved by establishing one common implementation laboratory, a “vehicle factory” where
batteries, fuel cells, flywheels, internal combustion engines and electric propulsion systems
can be integrated in vehicles. The lab will be the internal and external attraction pole promoting the visibility of STandUP research and innovation excellence, and joint driving forces of
curiosity and need.
Energy storage for mobility
The battery is a key component in all type of hybrid electric or all electric vehicles, either as a
power and energy buffer in hybrids, or as primary energy supply in plug-in hybrids or allelectric vehicles. Activities will be directed towards the development of batteries with lower
cost and high safety, better durability especially for deep cycles, and improved energy and
power density. Even with the most optimistic view of future battery development, there will
still be a demand for sustainable solutions with higher energy density than batteries. Today
internal combustion engines are used for this, but vehicles based on hydrogen fuel cells are
considered as a medium-term possibility. Our work will address limited lifetime and high
costs which still are major obstacles. Efficient storage of hydrogen onboard vehicles is another field of importance. Thus, our work will involve:
Development and characterisation of new battery and fuel cell materials, especially
electrode materials and novel catalysts and electrolytes for low temperature fuel cells
Modelling and experimental investigation of performance and life limiting processes
of batteries and fuel cells. Integration of cells into battery units, state-of-health and
temperature management, and monitoring of battery performance in real vehicles
Conversion of fuels to hydrogen rich gas on board vehicles. Development of solidstate hydrogen storage systems that operate on a fully reversible basis at temperatures
below 100˚C and ambient pressures.
Electric propulsion systems
Future propulsion systems will be largely based on electrical or semi-electrical drive systems
for several reasons: efficiency, controllability and flexibility. Efficiency is addressed by using
new materials, topologies and analysis methods. Controllability and flexibility require new
power electronics to meet the demands on the links between the battery, the grid and the electric machine of an electric or hybrid vehicle. Power conversions at efficiencies of up to 99 %
and high temperature are possible with SiC technology. High-efficiency operation at hightemperatures enables compact designs. The overall aim is to achieve high energy efficiency,
which makes it vital to address losses and size requirements. The research will cover:
11 (15)

Radical new energy efficient propulsion systems based on electrical drivelines
Development of semiconductors and power electronics based on SiC and diamond
Volume- and weight reduction of sub-systems for increased efficiency
Energy management for hybrid and all-electric vehicles
With a mix of electrical and bio-fuel energy supply onboard, it is imperative to develop
strategies that utilise the energy as efficiently as possible while maintaining the characteristics
of a user-friendly vehicle. The strategies have to consider the capabilities of batteries, internal
combustion engines based on new energy efficient concepts and operating on renewable fuels,
advanced fuel cells and the demands from all onboard loads. We also have to consider the
possibility for energy exchange with an electrical grid. The energy management problem is
partly a technical challenge but it also has to rely on understanding of the habits of a future
driver. Focus areas are:
Energy strategies for new powertrain concepts including human interactions
Grid management and charging strategies, in close collaboration with the Infrastructure for usage centric electric power systems activity, see section 4.2
4.5 Biorefineries and Biofuel production
No single biofuels/biorefinery solution will be sufficient to meet global needs given the current rate of petrochemical and liquid fuel consumption. The problem is further complicated by
issues such as regional variations in biomass availability and production rates, as well as conversion efficiencies and energy balances. Thus, efficient coupling of diverse biomass sources,
including energy crops and waste materials, to both biological (enzymatic/fermentation) and
chemical (thermal) conversion technologies will be necessary to maximize outputs of liquid or
gaseous fuels for the transport sector (as well as high-value chemicals) while minimizing environmental impact.
The research teams involved contribute top-level scientists in the areas of plant cell wall biosynthesis and structure, carbohydrate enzyme structure/function, fermentation microbiology
and gasification. The scientists are integral to a number of leading research centres, research
schools and EU projects with strong links to, and funding from, industrial partners (Appendix
3). Current combined KTH/SLU Uppsala funding in the biomass area is ca. 180 MSEK/y,
with ca. 10% from the EU. SLU Uppsala and KTH staff are members of various journal editorial boards, councils and scientific committees within the area The critical mass of the research groups involved is significant, the Division of Glycoscience at KTH Biotechnology
~25 full-time scientists (P.I.s, post-docs, & Ph.D. students) working on various aspects of cell
wall biotechnology. Microbiology & Molecular Biology has 30 P.I.s, post-docs, & Ph.D. students working on biomass pre-treatments, fermentation, etc. The Salix breeding research program at SLU has ca 14 full-time scientists. In addition, SLU hosts a graduate school in bioenergy with 20 PhD students.
4.5.2 Plans for Development of Leading Edge Resesarch
The vision of this research theme is to synergize core competence areas in biomass production, degradation, and conversion at KTH and SLU Uppsala to create a strong regional conglomerate for bio-based fuel alternatives. Together, this initiative will cover the entire spectrum of development, from environmentally-adapted biomass production (with the first focus
on the northern latitudes), through carbon interconversion. Resulting new technologies in
plant biotechnology, enzyme technology, pre-treatment and extraction, microbial cell factories, and catalytic chemical processes will be patented, developed, and transferred to industry
via established and emerging networks (see Appendix 3).
12 (15)
Plant biotechnology and ecology for environmentally sound biomass production
Plants have evolved effective mechanisms for resisting assault on their structural sugars from
microbes and animals, creating technical barriers to the cost-effective transformation of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable molecules. New approaches for designing improved energy
feedstocks, deconstructing cell walls, and solubilizing their polysaccharides are needed. Salix
is an excellent energy crop, which grows fast and has a positive energy balance of >20X. The
Swedish Roadmap ”Bioenergy from agriculture”, SOU 2007:36, concludes that Salix is the
most efficient crop for bioenergy production in Sweden. Salix wood is today used for production of heat, but it also has a high potential to be used for production of biofuels, ethanol and
biogas. Salix is a relevant model system, the results from which will be extended to other
plant biomass sources.
Integrate ecological (insect, fungal pests), physiological (efficient use of resources)
and molecular methods to increase raw-material availability with minimized environmental impact
Develop fundamental knowledge about Salix genetics and production ecology to enable breeding new Salix clones with high content of easily degraded lignocellulosic
biomass.
Unlock molecular-level secrets of cell wall structure and biosynthesis to both guide
plant biotechnology for biomass engineering and to assist the development of efficient
processes to deconstruct lignocelluloses.
Biorefining lignocellulosics for fuel and chemicals
Knowledge of the structure and chemistry of wood and wood components are of primary importance for efficient generation of fuels and chemicals from lignocelluloses. For example, the
selective extraction of plant (wood) cell wall polymers in biorefinery applications will, to a
large extent, derive its technology base from existing wood-based industrial processes, especially pulp production. In harness with plant biomass cell wall engineering, there is an implicit need to develop enzyme cocktails which efficiently saccharify polysaccharides prior to
fermentation. Indeed, microbial cellulases currently stand at the focal point of all current fermentation-based biorefinery processes, while the development of new, selective and more
efficient catalysts of (hemi)cellulose saccharification will improve both biochemical and
thermochemical processes. Finally, improved biochemical conversion processes are required
for the efficient production of liquid and gaseous fuels,, in new biorefinery concepts.
Development of new methods for analysis and selective extraction of ligninpolysaccharide networks, including various physical pre-treatment techniques, e.g.
Cambi steam explosion.
Development of a cutting-edge enzyme discovery platform, involving genome mining,
recombinant protein expression, biochemical characterization, and three-dimensional
enzyme structure analysis leading to enzyme applications.
Improve biofuel and chemical production from biomass through advances in the discovery and engineering of microbes (novel bioethanol and biogas) processes, enzyme
pre-treatment, energy efficient biopreservation, ethanol co-products, and soil incorporation of biogas digestate/residues.
Thermo-chemical conversion of biomass to renewable fuels
Gasification is generally considered as one of the key processes for the production of renewable fuels and the main activities within this area are also centred around gasification of biomass where the STandUp group owns the only pressurised bubbling gasifier in Europe. The
main activities are conducted within the 5-year EU CHRISGAS project. This strategic research examines the possibility to use cheaper, less pure fuels in a fluidised bed. The FischerTropsch synthesis path for the production of fuels provides an integrative process for convert-
13 (15)
ing the synthesis gas from the gasified of biomass. The planned work for the future as part of
this proposal will involve:
Characterization and screening of fuels by ash analysis, (e g tar and alkali analysis)
Determine where in the process sulphur and other contaminants are best removed, e g
via sharpened process analysis methods through simulation of the gasification process.
Develop catalysts of the nano-particle type with micro emulsions for fuel synthesis
Technical system analysis of renewable fuel productions to determine the most promising paths from an efficiency point of view.
5 FACULTY DEVELOPMENT AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG RESEARCHERS
The international competition in research and high-tech industry constantly increases. It is
clear that even large research universities must in the future actively and consciously focus
their resources to enable their research groups to remain in the international forefront. Our
STandUP concept is designed to achieve this by focusing reinforcements, by avoiding overlapping and competing activities at the partners, by proactively seeking synergy effects between research groups throughout STandUP, and by developing a mutual and effective interface to industry partners to enhance technology transfer. The STandUP organisation will, via
inter-partner discussions and agreements, contribute to optimal strategic development of energy research within each university and between universities by e.g. ensuring that all
STandUP activities are “overcritical” in volume and can truly compete internationally. This
coordination will lead to greater productivity at all of the partners, as well as allowing
STandUP as a whole to be a coherent and significant unit in European energy research. As
part of STandUP’s policy of focusing resources, approximately 50% the budget is intended to
reinforce existing research groups, largely via offering young, already employed, researchers
permanent positions. This will build strong profiles for the future. Strengthening will also be
achieved via recruitment of top-talents from outside. Mobility between the involved universities, institute partners and industries will be stimulated.All STandUP partners have identified
the strategic importance of developing and retaining young faculty members to establish and
maintain the diverse competence necessary for the future. The junior faculty organisations
within the universities will have an important place in our post-doc programs.
6 GENDER EQUALITY AND DIVERSITY
The gender equality plan of STandUP is based on and fully complies with the overall gender
equality policy of UU, KTH and SLU. Gender equality work at the three universities is both
short-term and long-term and conducted in accordance with the Swedish Discrimination Act
(SFS 2008:567). Mandatory gender equality plans are drawn up at central, faculty and department levels. All universities have management groups for gender equality issues, and
gender equality officers provide individual employees/students and management at all levels
with information, advice and training in gender equality issues. UU, KTH and SLU all strive
for gender balance, and have initiated activities to increase the proportion of women at senior
positions. UU has allocated extra resources of 4.5 MSEK/year for this cause. Within this initiative, the entire recruitment process is investigated from an equality perspective. Over the
past decade KTH has doubled the number of women starting in research education to 30% and
seven female Professors were recruited to KTH in 2007. Other measures are university cofinancing for departments recruiting female candidates for senior positions, and financial support for persons of the under-represented sex that within the near future could qualify for
promotion to professor. A new leadership program for women, focusing on leadership and
gender issues in the academic environment, has also been launched as a part of this gender
14 (15)
equality initiative. STandUP will, in addition to adhering to these policies, initiate and fund a
mentor program with special emphasis on gender issues. The diversity plan of STandUP is to
encourage and enhance diversity with respect to different ethnic and religious background to
stimulate creativity at the universities. This also fully complies with present policies at UU,
KTH and SLU.
7 LINKS TO HIGHER EDUCATION
In their Strategic Plans for UU15, KTH16 and SLU17, the link between high quality research
and education at all levels is strongly emphasized. All faculty members will engage in teaching bringing students into contact with key research environments. UU is one of the largest
universities in Sweden with 40 000 students and 2000 research students. KTH is the largest
technical university and training ~1/3 of all masters engineering students in Sweden. SLU a
unique national responsibility for several unique professional educational programs and
~3500 full time undergraduate students. Together, STandUP fosters over 40% of Sweden’s
Master of Engineering students UU, KTH and SLU devote considerable resources to developing the didactic skills of all staff. For example, the KTH Learning Lab supports teachers from
across the university and plays a leading role in developing an approach to engineering education known as CDIO – Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate – together with international partners. The UU Learning Lab trains staff in using advanced information technology in
their teaching. All Masters’ level courses are taught in English to an international audience
with a focus on leading-edge research. Six master programs at KTH, of which two are funded
by the EU, and three master programs at UU are focused on energy. More than 150 courses
with strong energy content are presently being offered by the three universities. The “Energy
systems” engineering programme given by UU and SLU in collaboration emphasizes a systems perspective on conventional and renewable energy sources. At KTH, a unique educational e-learning platform in energy technology has been developed allowing experimental as
well as theoretical remote learning, of particular benefit to students in developing countries. A
new program in Energy and Environment is now starting. At UU the master program System
in Technology and Society has a special profile in energy where economics, law and governmental studies are combined.
8 INFRASTRUCTURE
The partners in the STandUP group own and operate a large base of infrastructure relevant to
the energy area, over the years totalling investments in the range of one billion SEK. This
includes large-scale, in some cases world-unique, sites including wave power plants, experimental wind farms, combustion test-benches, turbine and wind tunnel rigs, and clean rooms
(MyFab) as well as field experiments for production of bioenergy crops. Both for education
and research we envisage the further development of existing computer-based platforms for
remote access to these distributed facilities.

STandUP for Energy – Appendix 3
APPENDIX 3 STANDUP FOR ENERGY
1 INTRODUCTION
This appendix describes the relevance of the proposal to industry and society in general and
to Sweden’s situation in particular.
1.1 Strategic Direction of Swedish Society
If society wants more renewable energy on a large scale it appears that currently used technology
is not good enough. Major advances in design are genuinely necessary. The research areas of
STandUP are responding to the long term vision for renewable energy sources in the EU, by
2020. The overall aim is to deliver renewable energy at reasonable costs.
In Sweden, the use of fossil fuels has been significantly reduced and the total energy demand
in the country is the same today as in the early 70s. Sweden has the largest share of renewables in the EU and also one of the lowest CO2 emissions per inhabitant. The national energy
and climate agenda is aligned with the EU pillars of ecological sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply. This includes also ambitious goals for 2020 including that 50% of
the energy supply shall come from renewable sources and 10% of the energy in the transport
sector shall come from renewable sources. The Government has also underlined the importance of developing renewable electricity production as a complement to hydro and nuclear
power. In the transport sector, the major fossil
fuel consumer in the country, the dependence on
fossil fuels will be broken and overall efficiency
increased. The automotive industry is expected
to have a major role in this process through the
development of electric, hybrid and biofueldriven road vehicles. Present policies and targets
indicate that Sweden can become a major exporter of electricity in the near future.

1.2 Relevance of the STandUP Proposal
The objectives and activities proposed in the research program of the STandUP group provide necessary scientific support to Swedish energy and climate agendas in their ambitions to
reach the sustainability targets for 2020. The proposed research is innovation driven and
aims at new and more cost-efficient ways of generating and integrating renewable electricity
as well as production of biofuels for transport and production of electricity, in combination
with efficient energy storage solutions.
Innovation in energy-related technologies will contribute to the competitiveness of Swedish
industry within the increasing markets for clean technologies. Research in the STandUP
group is unique in having resulted in the establishment of a large group of companies active
in renewable electricity production, grid integration and the automotive industry. The transformation of the transmission and distribution systems necessary to accommodate large
amounts of electricity from renewable sources will take place under market conditions and
must not risk the security of supply. The STandUP group provides competent solutions to
facilitate and manage this transition.
Perhaps the most important contribution to society from the STandUP research units is competence development in the form of graduate students and PhDs. The impact this has on
Swedish society cannot be overestimated. The units represent more than half of the produc1 (10)
tion of PhDs within electrical power engineering in Sweden. In addition, the STandUP group
is strong in international education at master's level, an important outlet for knowledge dissemination
1.3 Relevance of the Research Themes in Detail
The following four sections provide more detail regarding the individual research themes presented in the research program and their relevance and relation to industry and society. The
important systems, environmental and socio-economic perspectives permeate the other
themes, and are therefore not discussed separately here.
1.4 Renewable Production of Electricity
Increasing the share of renewable electricity production is perfectly feasible. In fact, there is
no shortage of potentially accessible energy around us. The Sun delivers about 15 000 times
the amount of energy we need for today’s society. The real issue becomes the various costs
associated with available energy sources, including e.g. environmental costs.
1.4.1 Relevance of the Research Theme
Despite some issues of preference and e.g. national security, the dominant factor deciding if
e.g. wind power has a long term future is its costs relative to the alternatives. These costs today are probably too high for this to be genuinely viable on a large scale. To significantly reduce the cost per kWh for the consumer improvements of wind, wave, marine current and
other renewable sources are necessary. For instance the costs for construction and maintenance of wind turbines must be reduced; solar technologies need to be further developed to
enable higher degrees of efficiency; hydro power systems need to be optimised both to increase efficiency and to cope with the new requirements from the variability of renewable
sources in the grid system. As is evident from the research program, all of these areas are being addressed by the STandUP group, the ultimate aim being increased amounts of electricity
from renewable sources via more cost-efficient production techniques developed within the
STandUP group.
1.4.2
Industry participation in planning
& implementation
The STandUP partners have significant ties
with the energy production companies in
Sweden and Europe. Units in the group cooperate with and are partially funded by all
large utility companies in the Nordic market,
i.e. Vattenfall, Statkraft, Fortum and E.ON
but also by multinational companies: Draka
Cable, GE, Siemens and ABB. Much of the
work is performed within the Swedish Centre for Renewable Electric Energy Conversion, CFE1. UU is also a member of the
Fig. 2. Large-scale test rig for flow studies in gas turbine. (T. Fransson KTH)
Nordic Renewable Marine Energy Network
which is funded by Statkraft. Research in
hydropower is gradually improving largely due to the efforts of the industrial and academic
partners within the Swedish Hydropower Centre SVC2. The STandUP partners represent a
1
2
http://www.el.angstrom.uu.se/CFE/CFE_se.html
www.svc.nu
2 (10)
majority of the research within SVC which is supported by numerous industrial partners.
Wind technology research is also strong within STandUP and has lead to the wind power
manufacturing company Vertical Wind3. Research and practical development of wave power
is advanced and expanding and has recently lead to the start-up company Seabased4 opening
a factory on the west-coast of Sweden for manufacturing of complete wave power systems
including wave power devices and off shore grid system to grid connection at different voltage and power ratings. Progress in kinetic energy conversion of moving water led to a number of patents and to the innovation company Current Power AB 2005. An investment company Energy Potential AB was formed in renewable technologies or “Clentech “ already in
2001.
Regarding biomass as a source for renewable electricity, KTH coordinates the national competence centers CICERO5 and TURBOPOWER focused on combustion and turbo generators.
Within the Turbopower centre there are development activities in solar thermal generation in
collaboration with Siemens in Sweden, which is today the world’s largest supplier of solar
driven steam turbines. Staff at KTH is also coordinate of the large-scale European project
FUTURE6.
Within photovoltaics, research at the CIGS solar cell group at UU has led to establishment of
SOLIBRO7 a company producing solar cells. The joint UU-KTH center for solar energy:
“The Center of Molecular Devices (CMD)8” has recently been evaluated for the project
“Grätzel Solar Cells” funded by the Swedish Energy Agency, as the second best in the world.
It focuses on the fundamentals of nano-structured solar cells. It has strong collaboration with
multinational companies such as BASF and BOSCH in Europe, and Toyota, Sharp and Samsung in Asia.
A further example is the role of the research institute IVL9 for the build up of a virtual, multidimensional and interdisciplinary research and educational energy platform, EXPLORE. It is
a platform for research and knowledge transfer between researchers, IVL, the energy industry
and end-users. The research will, from a sustainable system perspective, cover both the production and the use of efficient mixes of energy ware and the dynamic relationships between
components. EXPLORE will further develop and apply methodologies for sustainable technology assessment in a life-cycle perspective.
1.5 Integration into the Electricity Network
Industrial collaboration is extensive among the research groups involved in this research
theme. During 2007, industry and STandUP exchange collaboration, either at university facilities or in industry labs amounted to 50 man-months. Industry collaboration includes the
participation of industry experts, either directly in projects or in reference groups.
1.5.1 Relevance of the research theme
Three boundary conditions for the transformation of the electricity system not always explicitly mentioned are that the transformation will take place in a liberalized market where investments are judged based on return on investment; that the transformation of the power system will include a significant increase in ICT systems for monitoring, control and automation of the power system; and that the future power system must exhibit the same high reliability level as today.

The proposed relevance of the research program is especially clear when these additional aspects of the transformation are considered. That STandUP research groups involved have extensive experience in the field of power markets is demonstrated by, for example, staff being
asked to perform government studies on integration of renewable electricity10 and to participate in steering groups and committees for studies on market rules and power balancing.
STandUP also includes a unique combination of competence within ICT and power system
management in the Department of Industrial Information and Control systems. The competence within this group includes system architectures for SCADA/EMS systems as well as
ICT architectures in general. The quality and relevance of the competence is demonstrated by
researchers acting as advisors in all significant power system control centre projects in the
Nordic region. Additionally, courses in power system control have been offered that have
been attended by hundreds of power utility managers from 75 different countries across the
world.
StandUP also includes key excellence in the areas of modelling, diagnostics and maintenance
of electrical components. Many graduates proceed to employment with industry partner research organisations by the relevance of this work. Research in this area has led to the spinoff company, Pax Diagnostics11, which manufactures diagnostics equipment. There is also a
strong group working in the area of high temperature semi-conductors using SiC, which allow the construction of compact power electronic converters. A longer term goal to use diamond for power electronics is a related area. The quality of the work is high and has led to
creation the company, TranSic, which manufactures SC-based power transistors and modules
for industrial power applications all over the world.
1.5.2 Industry participation in planning & implementation
In a recent evaluation it was stated that “The exceptionally close and fruitful connections to
the Swedish power industry and the wide-ranging collaboration and staff exchange with
companies form a firm basis to the applied research. …. and means that the majority of the
[Units] currently perform at a world-leading standard”. As an example of this fact, the planning of this research theme has been performed in close co-operation with EKC2 – the Swedish Centre of Excellence in Electric Power Engineering12. EKC2 is a joint centre hosted by
KTH (29 MSEK annual turnover), with a portfolio of 25 research projects. The EKC2 partners are: ABB, Bombardier Transportation, The Swedish rail administration and Elforsk –
which represents the Swedish utilities (Vattenfall, Fortum, etc) and Swedish Grid (SvK).
Strategic plans for EKC2 have recently been developed covering Controllable Power Systems, ICT applications for power system control and operation, and Maintenance Management.
Powercircle13 is a cluster where academy from KTH and UU actively interacts with industry.
It is hosted by IVA (the Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences) and it is the world’s
largest cluster in electric power engineering. It acts as a catalyst for the start of development
and demonstration projects within electric power systems. It is taking part in strategic discussions regarding future directions of the industry within the cluster. A further example is the
organization of workshops and seminars on the topic of the future “smart” power grids.
In the implementation stage of the work, interaction will be sought with research institutes.
Here STRI14, plays an important role within the field of automation and control of power systems. STRI has developed a unique testing facility for interoperability testing of ICT and

automation systems used for power system management. This facility is an important
“bridge” for knowledge transfer within automation and control systems.
Strong national and international research in the field of electrical and hybrid vehicles will be
beneficial for society as a whole, paving the way for road transportation with lower energy
demands and decreased emissions. However, perhaps of greater importance will be its central
role in the transformation of the Swedish (and international) automotive industry towards
large-scale production of more energy efficient vehicles, a key for future success in a market
with very strong international competition.
STandUP has a long tradition of engagement in the area, almost always in close collaboration
with industry. Most of the activities stem from national programs such as the Swedish Hybrid
Vehicle Centre (SHC), Programrådet för FordonsForskning (PFF), the Green Vehicle, FFI
and Energy systems in vehicles. All these programs rely on a close and demanding involvement of the automotive industry. These initiatives have supported a national base for research
and the activities at STandUP can via this selection process be regarded as being top-of-theline. These programmes continue to provide the major channels for future national cooperation. Within STandUP, the channels already formed via the programs will be used to
give a firm foundation for the coming research.
The Swedish Hybrid Vehicle Centre (SHC). SHC was in 2007 a response to the need to join
forces between Swedish industry and academia in the field of hybrid electric vehicles. It is
used as a national platform for Swedish hybrid electric vehicles research. The centre was
based upon knowledge built in earlier research programmes, such as the Green Car and “Energy systems in vehicles” that had encouraged national collaboration. The partners of SHC
include all relevant industry partners, the Swedish Energy Agency and Swedish universities15. The initiative is a 10-year commitment, with a first phase extending over a 4-year period and with a total turnover of 97,5 MSEK. KTH and UU play an important role in pursuing the research and in centre coordination. The research is divided into three fields: System
studies and tools, Electric machines and drives and Energy storage with a focus on the development of Li-ion based battery systems.
The Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation Initiative (FFI)16. A new programme
called the Strategic Vehicle Research and Innovation Initiative (FFI) started in 2009. The
yearly budget is USD 100 million. The overall focus will be one third on safety and two
thirds on energy. KTH and UU are active partners in the definition of new projects. FFI is
based on the previous Programrådet för FordonsForskning (PFF) that was established in order
to promote co-operation between the vehicle industry and related authorities. Within PFF, the
Green Car programme started in year 2000 as a collaboration programme for environmentally
sustainable automotive engineering. In addition to engagement in research, KTH has also
been actively leading in the educational component of the programme in hybrid technology
for both university students and practising engineers. More than 600 students have participated.
Energy systems in road vehicles. Researchers at KTH and UU are active in technical research and development in the research programme Energisystem i vägfordon (Energy systems in road vehicles), supported by the Swedish Energy Agency. This work is focused on
15
16

http://www.vinnova.se/Verksamhet/Transporter/FFI/
5 (10)
long-term knowledge-building to improve energy efficiency of road vehicles. The Agency
believes that bio-fuels will be able to meet a significant part of the transport sector's needs,
but they must be supplemented by the development of more energy-efficient vehicles. The
main priority is system and component issues in the hybrid drive train. The development of
batteries, electric machines, fuel cells and combustion engines for hybrid vehicles is in focus.
International collaboration. At the European level the automotive industry also forms networks to promote new hybrid and electric propulsion techniques. Batteries are seen as one of
the key components and STandUP is also active at this level. There are three different EUprograms: EU-FP6 ALISTORE-ERI linking battery research and European industry (Renualt,
Citroén,Volkswagen, Bosch, etc.); UU is coordinating SUPERLION; and UU is a partner in
HELIOS coordinated by Renault (automotive industry, electric power industry and battery
producers). A long-term STandUP collaboration exists with Argonne National Laboratory.
The electrochemistry group at KTH has been active in several EU-projects related to fuel
cells, among others the Autobrane project involving European automotive industry and
Carisma which brings together all major low-temperature fuel cell companies and research
groups in Europe. The group has also worked together with the Japanese Space Agency
JAXA on the lifetime of lithium-ion batteries for satellites.
Other relevant research, institute and industry connections. The research in silicon carbide (SiC) power device technology at KTH is conducted in close contact with an industrial
reference group. The group consists of representatives from power electronic system companies such as ABB, Bombardier and Danaher Motion, and TranSiC AB (a spin-off company
from KTH) in the field of SiC power devices. The integration of electric vehicles into the
electrical network is studied in the research project GRIDCAR, involving SICS17, Ericsson
and TeliaSonera. SICS has a proven record of promoting industrial deployment of its research
findings, including spin-off companies and licensing.
Among the renewable alternatives, an increased utilisation of plant biomass holds the greatest
promise for replacing more fossil fuels within the next five to ten years period.
In anticipation of the rising significance of bioenergy-related research to society, both KTH
and SLU Uppsala have long supported the establishment of strategic research environments,
centres, and networks. Each has a core technology-transfer component, with the expressed
purpose of delivering new knowledge to industry and – ultimately – society. The funding levels of these current programs should be taken as an indication of the strategic relevance of the
area:
Strong research activities in biomass production and degradation (KTH, SLU): Salix research, practical application of Salix energy forest systems to maximize biomass production.
Several large Salix research programs exist funded by e.g., Energimyndigheten, Formas and
Lantmännen: ”High and sustainable biomass production of Salix”18 MicroDrivE Sustainable
bioethanol and biogas production. SLU, SLF, the National Energy Agency, and industrial
partners: Syngenta seeds, Danisco-Genencor, Jästbolaget, Chr Hansen/ Medipharm, Swedish
Biogas, Chematur engineering, Sala-Heby Energi and Cambi AS. 10 MSEK/y. DOM (Domestication of Microorganisms): safety assessment, fermentation and formulation of novel
microorganisms for environmental applications, e.g. biofuels, biocontrol, biopreservation and
bioremediation. Strong links to the envirobiotech industry and to regulatory authorities. Mis-

tra funded, 12 MSEK/y. BioMime – The Swedish Center for Biomimetic Fiber Engineering19
: Strategic research focusing on the biogenesis, structure and properties of woody cell walls.
Operates together with Umeå Plant Sci. Center and STFI-Packforsk. Exploitation of results
through agreements with STFI-Packforsk and SweTree Technologies. 10 MSEK/y. Wallenberg Wood Science Centre: Developing efficient procedures for the separation wood
constituents for new materials derived from the Swedish forest resource. The center is a joint
venture of KTH and Chalmers, and involves also STFI-Packforsk. The yearly budget is 40
MSEK. BiMaC Innovation (KTH)20: A VINN Excellence Centre developing wood-based
biofibre materials through cross-disciplinary research combining material physics, chemistry
and biotechnology. A theme is the connection between the production process, material structure and properties. The center involves several departments at KTH with all the major forest
industrial companies operating in Sweden as partners.
The Swedish Roadmap ”Bioenergy from agriculture”21, concludes that Salix is the most efficient crop for bioenergy production in Sweden. Salix biomass is today used for production of
heat and power, but it also has a major potential to be used for production of biofuels, ethanol
and biogas. The Salix system has already been commercialised in Sweden, thus links for the
transfer of knowledge on the production and utilization of biomass crops are long-established
within the group (e.g. Lantmännen Agroenergi AB, Ena Energi heat and power, EON).
The STandUP group has a long track record of outreach activities in biogas research, including a collaboration agreement with the Swedish Institute of Agricultural and Environmental
Engineering (JTI)22 that will further strengthen transfer of knowledge to society and industry.
The MicroDrivE program at SLU is led by a steering group with representatives from the cofunding companies. In addition, the world leading Danish – American enzyme producer
Genencor is embedded in the MicroDrivE program. Close contact with industry guarantees
rapid practical utilization of findings from microbial and molecular biology research. Program researchers are also very active in outreach activities for biogas plant staff, writing of
educational material, etc (Biogas Öst). One of MicroDrivE´s researchers is the microbiology
expert for the certification process at Avfall Sverige – Swedish Waste Management.
KTH Biotechnology and KTH Fiber & Polmer have built strong links to the Swedish forest
products industry, who have been intimately involved in the Biomime, BiMaC, and various
Wallenberg centers. Likewise, these groups have had a number of bi- and tri-lateral projects
with forest industry partners (e.g., VINNOVA-funded), which have shaped fiber biomass research. Presently, KTH Biotech. is involved in a joint VINNOVA/SenterNovum project on
the expression of carbohydrate-active enzymes with the international enzyme producer Dyadic NL. The Swedish forest biotechnology transfer company, SweTree Technologies, develops intellectual property coming from KTH Biotechnology and SLU. Additionally, KTH Biotech. has an important partnership with Bayer Crop Science in the area of plant cell wall biogenesis.
Gasification is considered one of the absolutely most promising ways of producing reactants
for the forming of renewable fuels by different processes. One indication of the relevance of
the STandUP group is that the new National competence centre for gasification will be
housed at KTH. This will form a strong link for the transfer of knowledge between industry
and universities.

2 STRATEGIES AND PLANS TO GENERATE BENEFITS
The STandUP group combines universities with abilities in both basic and applied research
giving it a powerful position to bring benefits of the research to society. We have identified
several different routes for generating these benefits:
1) In support of established industries, the key channel for competence transfer and
benefit generation is via joint industry-university centres of excellence
2) To enable creation of new companies, and other commercialization models, the process from innovative research to intellectual property will be simplified.
3) To ease the transition from research to implementation of demonstration platform and
pilot projects, collaboration with relevant research institutes will be strengthened.
4) Outreach and support to policy and decision making at local, national and international levels. At the local level, we will work with municipalities.
2.1 Working through centres
The overall strategy of the STandUP group with regards to centres is to secure effective and
accurate utilisation of research results by being engaged in continuous dialogue with industry
and the surrounding society to not only export knowledge, but – equally important – also to
acquire knowledge. Creating platforms and regular meeting places for researchers and industrial representatives to meet and jointly design collaborative research programs where project
resources are shared is one example of this interaction. As this proposal demonstrates, The
STandUP group has a strong track record in establishment of research centres to enable close
interaction with industry and society.
2.2 Supporting the innovation process
There exists today a large set of activities and structures in support of innovation at the universities involved in the STandUP group. It is foreseen that, despite inherent challenges for
start-ups in infrastructure intensive industries such as energy, the activities in the STandUP
group will generate a significant volume of ideas suitable for commercialisation. The
STandUP track record gives confidence that there are effective channels for the export of
these ideas to industry.
2.3 Collaboration with Research Institutes
Research institutes provide an important bridge from research results via pilot or demonstration platforms to implementation and full scale solutions. Especially given the limited amount
of resources available at universities for engineering and support staff, the institutes’ role is
important. Within STandUP it is foreseen that collaboration with institutes will happen in all
of the research themes. The exact details for institute collaboration are given in the description of the research themes above.
2.4 Collaboration with municipalities
STandUP will emphasize collaboration with municipalities. A number of initiatives are already on-going and will be further expanded. In Uppsala, the “Energy House” (Energihuset)
provides a basis for information dissemination and energy business development. KTH has
on-going discussions with the city of Stockholm regarding the development of smart power
networks to give an environmental profile to Norra Djurgårdsstaden close to KTH’s main
campus. In Västerås various industries and KTH are working to launch an Energy Intelligence Centre for exhibition, conference interaction and demonstrations of energy solutions.
8 (10)
2.5 Outreach and knowledge dissemination
Outreach to society comes in many forms, and a communication policy is presented in Appendix 6. To provide society with access to research results, public presentations, workshops,
and expert studies will be carried out. Through systems studies we will be in the position to
provide support for decision making processes and will be well positioned to participate with
a strong Swedish voice in the global energy debate. In the context of business, we will be in a
position to build upon the Swedish context of SymbioCity23 providing concrete examples using Swedish technologies and systems solutions.
3 CAPACITY AND SUPPORTIVE ACTIVITIES
The capacity of the STandUP group to support utilization of research results is large, partly
via existing supporting structures within the universities. In addition, in the recent government bill for research and innovation, the Swedish government selected Uppsala University
and KTH as two of the seven locations for the establishment of a national “Innovation Office”.
UU - Uppsala University
At Uppsala, UU Innovation (UUI) is the University´s main tool for promoting utilisation of
research results. UUI provides professional support to design and facilitate industrial research
collaborations, licensing and start-up companies and constitutes the strategic advisory group
to the University management regarding utilisation/commercialisation of research. UUI is
organised directly under the Vice-Chancellor and presently consists of 14 persons including
management, project leaders, IPR and legal expertise, and business developers. All key personnel in the unit have academic research backgrounds and experience ranging from 10 to
more than 20 years of managerial positions in industry. For the commercialisation of research, UUI works in close collaboration with the Uppsala University Holding Company
(UUAB) and other organisations in the local innovation system. UUAB is presently involved
in c. 50 start-up companies, spun out from the University, that in total have attracted external
investment capital of more than 2.5 billion SEK. Furthermore VINNOVA’s Key Actors Program contributes to the establishment and development of UUI by an 8-year grant, providing
financial and professional support. The focus of the program is to proactively establish platforms for companies and academic research groups to meet and jointly design collaborative
programs and projects.
KTH – The Royal Institute of Technology
KTH’s long history of interactions with industry and public bodies means that staff have considerable experience in appreciating social needs and managing the complex research relationships that address these needs. Through its School for Business Liaison (BLI), KTH has
developed a world-class innovation system for stimulating and supporting the exploitation of
research results. The BLI School manages licensing agreements and the establishment of research-based spin-off companies. Per unit of research investment, KTH now has a spin-off
rate higher than that achieved at Cambridge, Stanford and MIT; its patenting rates are comparable. The BLI School also promotes KTH’s interactions with industry, providing a gateway
for companies wishing to work with the university and competence for the many Continued
Professional Education and Training programs KTH offers. In addition, it stimulates an entrepreneurial culture on campus. KTH also provides commercalization support via holding
companies like KTH Holding AB.
23

SLU – Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
SLU has a tradition of working with innovations, based on SLU research projects, both via
established companies, and the development of new businesses. SLU Holding provides the
researchers with the best possible options to commercialize their findings. Through its own
Senior Business Advisors and a wide network of partners, SLU Holding is able to offer the
university’s entrepreneurs free consulting, support and tools for business development.
Among the partners are the leading Swedish business incubator Uppsala Innovation Centre
UIC and the patent consultancy Forskarpatent i Uppsala. Both companies are collectively
owned with Uppsala University and offer free-of-charge services to all researchers at SLU.
By building networks between SLU´s innovators and interested parties, SLU Holding will
ensure that society benefits from SLU innovations.
LTU – Luleå University of Technology
LTU focuses increased utilization of research results through support to entrepreneurship,
also enabling job generation. LTU also supports the establishment of new companies and increased competitiveness in already established companies at regional- and national level.
LTU will continue its strong and close cooperation with industrial partners and is also developing a new platform for utilization of research results in the form of a knowledge-transfer
office “LTU Innovation” which was established in 2007. Strong cooperation structures have
also been built together with external partners such as the pre-incubator (Business Lab, within
ABI) and the incubator (Aurorum Business Incubator, ABI) and financiers and venture capital in order to facilitate an increase in utilization of ideas. Common methods of work and
computer support have been developed and agreed by all partners.

1 NATIONAL PARTNERS TO BE INVOLVED IN THE COLLABORATION
STandUP for energy combines the complementary strengths of three top-ranked
universities (Uppsala University, KTH and Swedish University for Agriculture Science)
in the Stockholm-Uppsala region with clear and well documented research profiles in
renewable energy. The consortium answering the call also includes Luleå University of
Technical that has a specialized competence in hydro- and wind power; the University
College of Halmstad which has competence in large scale wind-power demonstrations;
and five research institutes, STRI, SICS, IVL, Skogforsk and JTI. The intent is to
combine the complementary strengths of the different partners to create a large energy
research environment for new and strategic Swedish technologies, and also enhance their
visibility.
Below, we describe how the partners different profiles are so complementary.
1.1 Uppsala University (UU)
Uppsala University1 is the first of Sweden’s universities in terms of age as well as
scientific rating: UU has been the highest-ranking comprehensive research university in
Sweden – and among the top 20 in Europe – for five consecutive years. The University is
a member of the COIMBRA group that includes, amongst others, the universities of
Bologna, Cambridge, Oxford, Heidelberg, Helsinki, and Leiden. Uppsala University has
nine faculties, about 40,000 students, and 6,000 employees. The university has more than
500 full professors (20% of them women). Some 4,000 undergraduate degrees and about
400 doctorates are conferred every year. The annual turnover of UU is MSEK 4,300;
nearly 70% goes to research and postgraduate education. More than 50% of the research
budget is funded from external sources and 60 research centres are currently active
within, or in association with, the university. UU’s prominent basic research is
complemented by applied research of high international standard (UU was classed as no.
65 in the world in “engineering and computing” in the most recent detailed Shanghai
ranking). In the last decade UU has been particularly successful in attracting early-career,
up-and-coming scientists, receiving more grants and positions for outstanding junior
scientists from e.g. EURYI, ERC, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish
Foundation for Strategic Research, and others, than any other Swedish university.
1.2 KTH - the Royal Institute of Technology
KTH2 is Sweden’s largest technical university in terms of research income and is
consistently ranked among Europe’s top technical universities. Almost 10% of KTH’s
research income now comes from the European Union, the highest percentage for any
technical university in Sweden. KTH accounts for one-third of Sweden’s technical
research and engineering education capacity at university level. There are a total of
12 000 BSc and MSc students, 1 500 PhD-students and 2,800 full time equivalent
employees. In addition to the research carried out by KTH’s Schools, a large number of
national Centres of excellence are located at KTH. Various research foundations also
finance a number of research programmes.
KTH has consistently worked to achieve a productive balance between high-quality basic
and applied research. The university’s evaluation of its research base, the KTH
1
2
www.uu.se
www.kth.se
1 (5)
International Research Assessment Exercise 2008, established that two thirds of its
research groups produce basic research at the highest international levels, two thirds
produce applied research at these same levels, and a full half produced both basic and
applied research at the highest international levels. KTH’s current Strategic Plan (20092012) builds on this excellence.
As well as benchmarking its research internationally, KTH ensures it plays an active role
in international research and education networks; KTH currently chairs “CLUSTER”,
Europe’s leading university network of technology for research, education and
innovation, including TU Karlsruhe, TU Darmstadt and EPFL. Amongst other
international initiatives, KTH is particularly active in China having established the KTHChina Energy Centre as well as six further research centres with leading Chinese
universities.
1.3 Swedish University of Agriculture Sciences (SLU)
SLU3 has a profile with a broad sphere of high-quality activities in areas of great
importance and relevance to society and industry; SLU develops understanding and
sustainable use of biological natural resources. SLU has four faculties that are located at
four main campuses. SLU is a research-oriented university with some 215 professors –
more than 20% women - and a total annual turnover of about MSEK 2,500, of which
more than 70% goes to research and postgraduate education. About 50% of the research
budget is funded from external sources and about 100 students receive their PhD every
year. SLU is the sole Swedish academic player in many areas and has the national
responsibility for several unique professional educational programs, including those for
agronomists, foresters, and veterinarians. SLU has about 3,500 full-time undergraduate
students and due to the high staffing ratio, with an average of 1.4 students per teacher,
SLU can offer direct contact between students and teachers/researchers. SLU research
spans a broad spectrum: from genetic resources to entire ecosystems; from natural
sciences to social sciences and design; from basic to applied research. In addition to basic
research, SLU supports industry, society and government with problem-oriented
activities and information. SLU also has a special task in environmental monitoring and
assessment, which makes the university a key player in interpreting and understanding
changes such as those that may result from a warmer climate.
1.4 STandUP partners in the present proposal
The following university, university college and institutes are important partners of
STandUP and their specific roles in this proposal are described in APPENDIX 3.
Luleå Technical University (LTU) is the northernmost university of technology in
Scandinavia. LTU conducts research in the Faculty of engineering, the Faculty of arts
and social sciences. Research at the University has an annual turnover of more than
MSEK 600 and comprises 69 research subjects in 6 research profiles and 6 development
profiles. The research is characterised by multidisciplinary cooperation between the
University’s research departments and close interaction with trade and industry and
society.
Halmstad University College (HiH) is a relatively new University College situated on
the western coast of Sweden. It has some 50 degree programmes, 11,500 students and
560 employees, including some 40 professors. Research had a turnover of MSEK 84 in
3
www.slu.se
2 (5)
2008. HiH has research programmes on Wind Energy and its impact regarding local
communities and population. HiH is ideally located for field trials and development
regarding some of the new Renewable Energy sources.
IVL (Swedish Environmental Research Institute) is an independent research body
involved in the development of solutions to environmental problems on behalf of the
business sector and the community. IVL deals with environmental issues from a holistic
perspective with the aim of contributing to sustainable growth. Recently, KTH and IVL
have jointly developed the Center for Sustainable Development (CHU), an initiative
aimed at defining common research programs with particular emphasis on energy issues,
and enhancing the application of research results in collaboration with municipalities and
the industry.
STRI AB is an accredited high voltage laboratory and independent technology consultant
within high voltage technology and power systems. STRI has together with KTH
participated in the implementation of the new standard IEC 61850 for power utility
automation and has implemented a unique testing facility for interoperability of
automation systems based on the standard.
Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS), is a non-profit research organization.
The mission of SICS is to contribute to the competitive strength of Swedish industry by
conducting advanced research in strategic areas of computer science. One of the most
interesting future research areas combining energy and ICT is the area of “smart grids”,
where the “information network” (the Internet) and the power grid are overlaid
Skogforsk, the Forestry Research Institute of Sweden, is the central research body for the
Swedish forestry sector, and is financed jointly by Government and the Institute’s
members. Skogforsk pursue demand-driven applied research in a wide variety of fields,
including forest technology, raw-material utilization, environmental impact and
conservation, forest tree breeding, organizational structures, etc.
JTI, the Swedish Institute of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, is an
industrial research institute working with research, development and innovation in
sustainable agriculture, environment and energy. Biogas research and development on
laboratory, pilot plant and demonstration scale has been a major activity for three decades
in collaboration with the industry and the Department of Microbiology, SLU.
2 FORMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COLLABORATION
We have selected ten scientists with CV’s with a range of characters, in order to illustrate
this aspect of the breadth of our activities. Some of the CVs are outstanding in terms of
bibliometric criteria, such as number of citations per article, others in terms of the
number of patents and demonstrable contacts with industry; some of these researchers are
highly focused, others apply a more systems perspective; some are very applied in their
approach, others focus rather on more basic issues etc. Short CVs can be seen above and
more detailed descriptions of each person can be found in APPENDIX 6. Because the
attached ten CV’s can only represent a tiny proportion of the activities of relevance a list
of some of the many other scientists to be involved in STandUP are also listed in
APPENDIX 6.
2.1 Management Structure
The current call is new in the sense that funding will not be allocated as grants, but as
additions to the Government appropriation, and thus detailed decisions regarding use of
resources will be made within each university. However, in our planning the financing is
3 (5)
clearly directed as we explain in this document. We are here suggesting a suitable
management model given the predefined boundary conditions (see Fig. 1).
The management structure will consist of a Program Coordinator, a Steering Group and a
Advisory Committee. Formal agreement documents will be signed between the STandUP
universities. The management structure is generally described below and in more detail
in APPENDIX 6.

2.1.2 Steering Group.
The steering group will meet four times per year in order to discuss the development of
STandUP as a whole. This includes reviewing and assessing ongoing activities within the
program, as well as forward-looking discussions regarding how collaboration can be
further enhanced. One specific task will be to coordinate and share courses regarding
energy related postgraduate studies at the partner universities.
2.1.3 Advisory Committee.
This will be a larger group of at least 25 representatives and include representatives of
the participating universities, industry and of other leading foreign universities. The 10
key principal investigators will also participate. The Advisory Committee will meet at
least once per year in order to review and discuss the development of the program.
2.1.4 Formal agreements between the participating universities.
The interplay of this new, specifically directed, financing and the universities’ and
faculties’ existing internal decision processes will be specified in formal agreements
between the STandUP core partners. The collaboration of partners beyond the STandUP
core group will also be specified in written agreements.
A more detailed management description as well as a communication policy is described
in APPENDIX 6.

3 DESIRED DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS BETWEEN THE PARTNERS
The total proposed allocation is 31 MSEK 2010, 63 MSEK 2011 and 100 MSEK per year
from 2012.
Our intended distribution of funding is as follows: Systems (4.1 in APPENDIX 2) 10%,
Renewable electricity (4.2) 32%, grid integration (4.3) 20%, vehicles (4.4) 20% and
biofuel (4.5) 18%. Thus our emphasis is heavily on the first part of the call (renewable
electricity and integration).
The total proposed allocation per university is: KTH 48%, UU 36%, SLU 10%, LTU 6%
and is constant over time.
The other associated partners, HiH, IVL, STRI AB, SICS, Skogsforsk and JTI are
incorporated into the budgets for UU, KTH and SLU, respectively (see APPENDIX 5).
4 DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT
One of the motivations for the STandUP partners to seek structured collaboration is that
energy research units in Sweden are relatively small in an international perspective. An
important part of the STandUP concept is to make Sweden’s outstanding energy research
more internationally visible, and to create an instance (STandUP) which can be
referenced internationally when contact with Swedish energy research is desired. This
includes e.g. Europe-level negotiations regarding possible or planned energy initiatives.
On the operational level, the close proximity of the core partners, all located in the
Mälardalen region which has a strong electric power and automotive industry, will
contribute significantly to the development of the research environment. Examples of
operational level developments are increased mobility of personnel and sharing of
laboratory facilities between involved universities and the power industry partners active
in the centres at the universities and Powercircle4 cluster. Also, integration of existing
infrastructure spread all over Sweden using ICT technology will provide a unique
nationwide test-bed for demonstration, implementation and testing.
Part of the STandUP partners’ strategy is also to participate in a European Consortium
coordinated by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology for the European Institute of
Innovation and Technology (EIT). EIT is intended to become a key driver of economic
growth through stimulation of world leading innovation. The way to achieve these goals
is to integrate “the knowledge triangle”; i.e. education, research and innovation. KTH is
the leader of CLUSTER, a European network of 12 leading universities in Science and
Technology, and is participating in pre-studies for an EIT as one core member in a
consortium consisting of major companies and universities within the energy sector. The
aim of STandUP is to together with industry form a strong Stockholm-Uppsala node, in
particular in the area of future power grids for integration of renewables. This is
supported by ABB, Vattenfall and the Power Circle. If STandUP successfully establishes
an EIT “KIC” (Knowledge and Innovation Centre”), activities will be significantly
enhanced through additional funding and co-operation with an elite group of universities
and research centres at a European level.

3. THE MANAGEMENT OF STANDUP
3.1 Forms of Collaboration within STandUP
STandUP will actively promote collaboration within the energy area for the whole
Stockholm-Uppsala region. With seminars, workshops and other joint meetings that will be
openly announced STandUP hopes to be a centre for cross-disciplinary contact between
scientist, industries and public bodies.
3.2 The Composition of the Steering Group
Initially, this committee will consist of the STandUP manager, two representatives from KTH
and UU and one each from SLU, LTU and one of the institutes. While some of these will
come from the research groups active within the program, there will also be one representative
each from the leadership of KTH, UU and SLU. This committee will call additional attendees
to meetings as necessary. Each representative will have a personal substitute, and it will be
expected that the ordinary representative and/or their substitute will participate in all
5 (7)
meetings. Decisions about representation will be made by the individual partners after
consultation with the others
3.3 The Task of the STandUP Coordinator
The Program Coordinator will monitor ongoing STandUP activities and will be responsible
for the annual review. The Coordinatir will chair the Steering Group, participate in the
Advisory Committee meetings and will reporting to the Vice Chancellors of the three
universities (UU, KTH and SLU). The STandUP Manager will secure that transfer of
knowledge, deliverables, information etc between Steering Group partners is working
smoothly and efficiently. If the STandUP Manager leaves, a new will be assigned as stated in
the formal agreements between the participating universities (see APPENDIX 4).
3.4 Administrative Coordinator
An Administrative Coordinator will be appointed as a support for the STandUP Manager and
participate in the meetings of the coordination committee and the research council. The
Coordinator will be responsible for coordination and administration, follow-up, writing and
spreading minutes from the meetings, taking care of the web-site and the internal
communication. If the Administrative Coordinator leaves, a new will be assigned by the
STandUP Manager in discussion with the coordination committee.
The Administrative Coordinator will be recruited before start-up.
3.5 The Advisory Committee and the Principal Investigators
The Advisory Committee will consist of all the Principal Investigators (attached CVs). It will
also include other researchers from the participating universities as well from outside,
including leading foreign universities. Additionally, the group will include representatives
from both industry and relevant government organs, such as the Swedish Energy Agency, and
it will have an important role in maintaining an active interface between industry and the
research program. For this reason, the Advisory Committee is expected to be rather large, with
at least 25 representatives and it will meet regularly (see APPENDIX 4) to discuss issues and
give strategic advice relating to the research topics. The Steering Group will propose a more
detailed research program, which will be discussed by the Advisory Committee before being
forwarded to each partner for internal decisions. This program will be reviewed and updated
once per year. The Advisory Committee will also discuss ongoing progress in the projects and
look for synergy effects related to industry as well as between the collaborators. The chair of
the Advisory Committee will be selected within the group.
4. COMMUNICATION PLAN
4.1 Internal Communication
− Annual center meetings. Once a year, all people involved in STandUP will participate in a
one-day open meeting at which news and activities will be presented. The Swedish Energy
Agency, VR, Vinnova and Formas, will be invited to these meetings. The first year this
will be in the form of a kick-off.
− Meeting minutes. Meetings within the STandUP steering group and Advisory Committee
will be documented by short and stringent minutes, which will be distributed by e-mail.
The minutes will describe status, progress, problems and actions, following a defined
template. The minutes will be stored by the administrative coordinator and be available for
all participants.
6 (7)
− Project reports. Projects that have been identified by the Advisory Committee as of
common interest will be highlighted. Project reports will be made available.
− Spread of information. E-mail and a web-site will be used as the primary forms for
spreading information.
4.2 External Communication
We have identified the following target groups for the external communication:
− The scientific community. We will continue to publish original research work as well as
reviews in world-class scientific journals. STandUP will be acknowledged in these papers.
It will be important that the members of the Advsiory Committee and collaborators
maintain strong contacts with colleagues around the world, and we will actively engage in
scientific collaborations, locally, nationally, at the EU level and globally.
− Funding agencies. We will report progress at STandUP on an annual basis.
− Journalists. We will invite journalists to public events and will inform journalists about
STandUP progress. We will assist journalists in presenting results from research at
STandUP in news media.
− The general public. We have a strongly positive attitude towards participating at public
events such as science fairs, panel discussions, inquiries, exhibits. We will also encourage
younger colleagues at the center to participate and assist at such events. We will publish
articles in popular journals of various kinds.
− Industry and public bodies. STandUP is already of significant interest to commercial
organizations, and more collaborators within industry will be engaged. STandUP will
strive at finding and strengthening relationships primarily to the local industry within the
Uppsala-Stockholm area but also nationally and internationally.
− The Universities. We will represent the Universities when needed and requested. We will
furthermore assist the Universities in scientific exchanges with collaborating universities
world-wide and we will welcome visitors.
We will furthermore communicate information about STandUP by constructing a webpage.

STandUP for Energy - Appendix 6, Institutes
IVL - the Swedish Environmental Research Institute
IVL, the Swedish Environmental Research Institute, is an independent research body that has
been involved since 1966 in the development of solutions to environmental problems on
behalf of the business sector and the community. IVL deals with environmental issues from a
holistic perspective with the aim of contributing to sustainable growth. IVL has around 170
employees mainly working on issues related to a future sustainable industry. A close
cooperation with universities and industry is part of the daily work.
A substantial part of the applied research at IVL, around 50 percent, concerns energy related
issues. Examples are research on frameworks for efficent energy use, e g. impacts of current
and future policies, impacts of emission trade, and adaption to climate change. Other
examples concern sustainable technology assessment studies, life-cycle assessement studies,
and efficient use of energy in industry and society at minimum environmental impacts and
cost, e.g. devepolment and implementation of process integration models of industrial
processes and design of low energy cities.
IVL will be a partner for the buildup of a virtual, multi-dimensional and interdisciplinary
research and educational energy platform, EXPLORE. It is a platform for research and
knowledge transfer between researchers, IVL, the energy industry and end-users. The
research will, from a sustainable system perspective cover both the production and the use of
efficient mixes of energy wares and the dynamic relations between components. Explore will
further develop and apply methodologies for sustainable technology assessment in a life-cycle
perspective.

SICS – THE SWEDISH INSTITUTE OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) is a part of Swedish ICT Research AB,
a non-profit-distributing research organization owned by the Swedish government
(60%) and industry (40%). SICS’ mission is to contribute to the competitive strength
of Swedish industry by conducting advanced and focused research in strategic areas
of computer science, and actively promoting uptake of new research ideas and results
in industry and society at large. SICS works in a close collaboration with industry and
the national and international research community.
SICS has a significant focus on distributed and networked interactive real-time
systems and applications, spanning from infrastructural issues to software
methodologies to human-computer interaction. In December 2008 SICS had a
research staff of 82, thereof 44 PhDs. SICS publishes approximately 70 refereed
papers and articles in international journals and conferences per year. SICS is an
active participant in collaborative national, European, and other international R&D
programs.
The core of SICS research is supported by major companies associated with
Föreningen för Datateknisk Forskning (FDF), by the state-owned RISE Holding AB,
by the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems, VINNOVA, and by the Swedish
Foundation for Strategic Research, SSF. Research contracts assigned by the FDF
members and other organizations, Swedish and foreign, speed up dissemination and
uptake of research results in industry and in the public sector. SICS has a proven
record of disseminating and promoting industrial deployment of its research findings,
including establishing of spin-off companies and licensing of its software and patents.
SICS main office is located in Kista (Stockholm), with smaller offices in Uppsala,
Göteborg, and Västerås.
The increased use of ICT technologies, products and services in the energy sector has
opened a new area on SICS research agenda. Examples of SICS past and ongoing
projects include applying wireless sensor networks technology to improve
sophistication and flexibility of climate control in buildings and devising innovative
ways of increasing energy consumption awareness of citizens. One of the most
interesting future research areas combining energy and ICT is the area of “smart
grids”, where the “information network” (the Internet) and the power grid are overlaid
– enabling better energy distribution and novel services and business models. A first
research project, GRIDCAR, has now been started, involving SICS, Ericsson and
TeliaSonera. Here, the focus is on how to integrate electric vehicles in the smart grid.

Skogforsk
Skogforsk, plays a unique and vital role in satisfying the forest sector’s needs for operational
research and efficient dissemination of new knowledge concerning the sustainable
management of forests. Skogforsk is supported by the forest sector and the Swedish
government through a Framework Program, financed 50% by the Swedish government (via
Formas) and 50% by the ca 100 forest sector members of Skogforsk. Overall, the forestry
sector finances about 70% and government or other public funds about 30% of Skogforsk’s
activities. This has direct implications for the way Skogforsk works.
The organisation pursue demand-driven applied research in a wide variety of fields, including
forest technology, raw-material utilization and bioenergy, environmental impact and
conservation, forest tree breeding, and organizational structures. Through its research efforts
Skogforsk supplies an important public good to the forest sector and the Swedish society. Of
the Institute’s staff of about 100, some 60 are researchers. Because of the rich diversity of
background, education and experience of its staff, Skogforsk’s collective skills, expertise,
knowledge and competence span a wide range of disciplines and specialist fields.
Skogforsk will participate in the research carried out within the strategic research initiative
STandUP as a partner to SLU. Skogforsk will be the node for collecting field data from forest
operations and for distributing operational protocols emanating from the research back to the
forest operation teams working all over Sweden. In addition, Skogforsk will make use of its
supreme position regarding production of operational structures for centralised reporting of
logging for a successful carrying through of the establishment of a powerful back-tracking
system for biomass extraction in forestry and recycling of biofuel ashes. Such back-tracking
will eventually be necessary for efficient environmental monitoring and long-term evaluations
of biomass extraction from forestry.
The research and development foreseen is in perfect line with the core mission and strategic
goals of Skogforsk, and will provide a powerful platform for implementation of basic,
ecological research carried out by SLU and other institutions. The proposed project will boost
the emerging close cooperation between Skogforsk and the applicants in the energy area. It
will thus enable a necessary cross-sectional approach for simultaneous solving of the multidimensional task for society imposed by the ambitious roadmap towards sustainability and
climate neutrality.

5. Knowledge Exchange and Entrepreneurial Achievements
Our projects are normally formulated based on applications, and in close contact with stakeholders. Thus
industrial partners are always more or less involved in the project, either in steering groups or as active
project partners. Our industrial partners involve Scania, Volvo, Volvo Cars, Saab/GM, Hägglunds/BAE
Systems, Akzo Nobel and ABB. We are also working closely together with small innovation-based
companies. One industrial based PhD-student (industridoktorand) is looking at design tools for smart
windows together with Chromogenics AB. Another industrial based student, and also one of the founders of
the company, is working at Replisaurus AB.
The research work in the group has resulted in three new companies. PowerCell AB, working with fuel
cells for automotive applications and founded by AB Volvo, is initially based on results and patents that has
evolved out of the Mistra fuel cell program. myFC, working with micro fuel cells, was founded by a former
researcher in the group. The ideas and patents origins from research work in the group. Cellkraft AB,
working with systems for uninterrupted power supply (UPS) based on fuel cells, was founded by two PhDstudents and a former master student, all trained in the group.
