kraftteknik
Kraftteknik is the field of engineering focused on the generation, transmission, distribution, and efficient use of electrical power. It encompasses the design and analysis of electrical networks, electrical machines, and power electronics, along with the control, protection, and management systems that ensure reliable energy supply. The term is commonly used in Swedish and other Scandinavian contexts to describe power engineering as a discipline and profession.
Core areas include generation technologies (various energy sources such as fossil, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar), transmission
Applications span utilities, industrial facilities, data centers, manufacturing, and transportation electrification, as well as building services
Education and research in kraftteknik are typically part of electrical or energy engineering programs, combining theory
Today, kraftteknik remains central to modern infrastructure and the energy transition, addressing challenges of grid modernization,
