Technical Review of Existing Norwegian Pumped Storage Plants
This paper presents a technical review of the existing pumped storage plants in Norway. The power system is changing towards integrating more and more renewable energy, especially from variable renewable energy sources, leading to new challenges for the security of supply, power, frequency, and voltage regulation. Thus, energy storage options are a highly
Sweden''s SKB approved to begin construction of spent fuel
The permit also includes the building of a spent fuel encapsulation plant at the central interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel at Oskarshamn, about 200 miles south of Stockholm. Owned by Sweden''s nuclear power companies, SKB is tasked with finding a solution to radioactive waste from the country''s nuclear power plants. The
Pumped hydro storage: the Swiss Army knife of the energy industry
Bringing Juktan back into service would significantly increase Sweden''s production capacity. The plant could potentially produce around 380 MW, roughly equivalent to one third of the capacity of a nuclear power plant. "We could run the plant for about four days around the clock. So we''re talking about an extraordinarily large storage
Carbon capture and storage (CCS)
In Sweden, it is our major basic industries that have the greatest carbon dioxide emissions. Other parts of Europe also have major sources of emissions in the form of energy-generating power plants fired by coal and gas. Swedish conditions for carbon dioxide storage. It is the local geology that provides the conditions for carbon dioxide storage.
Clab
The Clab, also known as Centralt mellanlager för använt kärnbränsle (Swedish for ''Central holding storage for spent nuclear fuel'') is an interim radioactive waste repository located at Oskarshamn Nuclear Power Plant about 25 km north of Oskarshamn. Clab used to be owned by Oskarshamnsverkets Kraftgrupp AB (OKG) but is now owned by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering Aktiebolag (SKB). It was opened in 1985 for the storage of spent nuclear fuel from all Swedish nuclear power plants
