    Sammanfattning : In order to achieve energy security, reduce global warming and promote the vision of a common electricity market, the European Union (EU) is transforming the EU electricity grid from a large set of independent hierarchical national grids into one meshed EU-wide grid. For the first time in the history of the electric power industry, residential consumers are being integrated into the grid as active consumers and micro-generators of electricity. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Exploring logistics actions enabling environmentally sustainable freight transport

    Författare :Vendela Santén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
