EE@KAU as hotspot: education and research
Andreas Theocharis teaches several courses at Karlstad University as an instructor in the field of fundamental physics, electrical circuit analyzes, AC and DC electrical power systems operation analyzes and control, analysis and design of electrical power installations, renewable energy systems.
Nowadays, several socioeconomic, environmental and technological reasons drive the necessity to change the energy production, delivery and utilization landscape to a more sustainable framework. Recent advancements on power engineering, computer science, information technology and communications offer a breeding ground to develop and establish future and intelligent energy systems.
In this framework, the Electrical Engineering at KAU (EE@KAU) is active in the fields of renewable energy systems, microgrids and distributed energy resources, artificial intelligence, transactive microgrids and smart grids. EE@KAU offers several options to KAU students and for exchange students such as participation in research projects via bachelor and master theses and project engineers. In addition, a series of interdisciplinary courses is available for them who want to strength their competences in the above fields.
This talk is dedicated to inform about new developments in the area of smart grids led by EE@KAU and to inspire KAU and exchange students in the field.

What is ecological sustainability and why is it important?
John J Piccolo currently works at the Department of Environmental and Life Sciences at Karlstad University where he does research in ecology and conservation biology. His research focus includes freshwater ecosystems and conservation ethics. John is also a President of the Society for Conservation Biology, Europe Section, and advisor for the new peer-review, open access journal The Ecological Citizen.
Sustaining ecosystems for nature and people is the goal of ecological sustainability. Without functioning ecosystems there can be no true sustainability. The goal of conservation biology is to preserve the rich biodiversity of life on Earth. Sustaining this diversity into the future is called Earth stewardship. Conservation biology and Earth stewardship blend eco-evolutionary research with ethics and education to help ensure a sustainable future for the biosphere.
This seminar will be held in English.
