elektriskaelektroniska

Elektriskaelektroniska is a term used in some Nordic and European contexts to describe an integrated field that combines electrical power engineering with electronic systems. The word blends elektriska (electric) and elektroniska (electronic) to emphasize that modern devices and infrastructures rely on both energy conversion and intelligent control.

Its scope includes power electronics, electrical machines and drives, energy conversion and distribution, as well as the electronic layer for control and communication. This includes embedded controllers, sensors, actuators, digital signal processing, and interfaces for data exchange. The term is often used to signal a holistic approach that spans both the generation or delivery of electrical power and the processing of electrical signals within a system.

Applications span electric drives, power supplies and chargers, renewable-energy interfaces, automotive powertrains and charging systems, robotics, and both home and industrial automation. It can also apply to lighting controls, consumer electronics, and other systems where robust power management intersects with intelligent control and communication.

Terminology and usage vary by region. While some institutions label courses or departments as elektriskaelektroniska to indicate breadth, others use traditional divisions such as electrical engineering, electronics, or mechatronics. The term is not universally standardized and may appear primarily in education, industry branding, or cross-disciplinary documentation rather than as a formal discipline name.
