SUMMARY:Cross-theme webinar: Status and prospects of the sodium-ion battery production system until 2030 – the 2025 update
DESCRIPTION:Theme (4) Environment and Society\, and Theme (3) Energy storage invite you to this cross-theme webinar. \nRickard Arvidsson\, associate professor at Chalmers University of Technology\, will present results from an ongoing research project entitled “Projecting future sodium-ion battery production and use”. \nIn this project\, Rickard Arvidsson\, Julia Brunke and Björn A. Sandén (Chalmers) have investigated the current and future production system for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). The study covers the production volume of SIBs from 2022 to 2030\, the main producers of SIBs\, their geographical location\, the main types of SIBs produced\, their gravimetric energy density\, and in which applications they will be used. \nThe study concludes that lithium-ion batteries are likely to be accompanied by SIBs as a smaller\, yet significant “sibling” in the near future. \n  \nTime           09:00-10:00\nDate            7 May 2026\nLocation     Teams – the link will be sent to those who register \n  \nClick HERE to register for the webinar. \nRegister by 15:00 on 5 May 2026.

SUMMARY:Public PhD defense - Therese Lundblad
DESCRIPTION:Therese Lundblad\, Chalmers University of Technology will defend her PhD thesis “Energy Infrastructure for Road Transport Electrification – Modeling Hydrogen Supply\, Electric Vehicle Charging\, and Grid Constraints. \nDate: 17 April.\nTime: 10:00 — 13:00\nLocation: HA1\, Hörsalsvägen 4 and online\nOpponent: prof. Patrick Plötz\, Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI\, Germany \nVisit for more information: https://research.chalmers.se/publication/551268 \nPopular science description: \nElectrifying road transportation requires more than just electric vehicles; it also requires new infrastructure to supply energy in different forms. This thesis models the infrastructure needed in Sweden for two different approaches to electrification: using hydrogen as a fuel and directly charging battery electric vehicles. \nFor indirect electrification by hydrogen\, several ways of supplying hydrogen to refueling stations were compared. Producing hydrogen directly at the refueling station using electricity from the grid was found to be the cheapest option. This system is more cost-effective than either a system that produces hydrogen onsite in “island-mode” without being connected to the electricity grid or a system where hydrogen is produced at a central facility and transported to the refueling station. \nFor direct electrification\, this thesis investigates how home charging of electric vehicles could affect local electricity grids. Electric vehicle charging was analyzed under electricity spot prices (that reflect the balance between electricity generation and demand in an electricity price area)\, combined with different network tariff designs (which are the fees households pay the grid owner to use the electricity grid). The results show that the risk of overloading in the local grid increases as the share of electric vehicles increases. However\, the impacts vary greatly between different areas and are strongly dependent on how the vehicles are charged. \nThe modeling in this work shows that network tariff design has a large impact on when and to what extent it is cheapest to charge electric vehicles. Some tariff designs allow electric vehicles the flexibility to follow varying spot prices of electricity\, but at the cost of increased loading on the local grid. Other designs limit the loading on the local grid but give vehicles lower flexibility to follow low spot prices. The results thereby reveal a tradeoff between adapting electric vehicle charging to low electricity spot prices and reducing loading on the local grid. A network tariff for the combined peak power of households provides a compromise that reduces the load on the grid\, while still allowing for some flexibility.

SUMMARY:Theme (4) Environment & Society: How do we achieve resilience in transportation?
DESCRIPTION:Resilience out of a System-of-systems perspective\nLei Chen works as a transport system research coordinator at TRATON\, focusing on system transformation toward sustainable transport. Lei will frame resilience out of a system-of-systems perspective\, highlighting transport as an interconnected set of infrastructures\, services\, technologies\, and governance actors rather than isolated components. Focus is set on how such systems can prevent\, absorb\, recover from\, and adapt to disruptions\, while accounting for interdependencies\, cascading effects\, and cross-sector interactions. \nResilience and electrification – the case of waste collection\nPeter Årnes works as a strategic adviser for the City of Gothenburg\, primarily with questions regarding waste and water\, but also regarding electrification\, and specifically the electrification of refuse collection trucks. Peter will describe the journey towards electrification of waste collection vehicles in Gothenburg\, and issues concerning resilience. \nResilience in the freight transport system\nLinea Kjellsdotter Ivert works as a research leader in freight transport and logistics with a focus on sustainability at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute. Linea will present how transport buyers\, and transport and logistics companies\, i.e.\, freight forwarders\, haulage firms\, rail and air operators\, terminal owners\, and ports\, work with resilience. She will also address opportunities and challenges\, and how resilience can be strengthened in the freight transport system. \n  \nDate        3 March 2026\nTime        08:30-10:00\nVenue      Online – Teams. Link will be sent to those who register for the event. \n  \nPlease click HERE to register. \nRegister by 2 March at 12:00.

SUMMARY:Dissertation - Electromagnetic Modeling based Life Cycle Assessment of Rare-Earth-Free Propulsion Electric Machines for Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to PhD dissertation with Meng-Ju Hsieh\nTitle: Electromagnetic Modeling based Life Cycle Assessment of Rare-Earth-Free Propulsion Electric Machines for Vehicles \nVenue: Division of Electric Power Engineering\, Chalmers University of Technology\, Room EA\, Hörsalsvägen 11\, Chalmers\, Göteborg \nOnline: https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/69264190642 \nOpponent: Associate Professor Aron Szucs\, ABB and University of Pecs\, Hungary \nThe Doctoral thesis can be downloaded from: http://doi.org/10.63959/chalmers.dt/5788 \nAbstract: \nThis work evaluates representative automotive electric traction machines (e-machines) that do not rely on rare-earth elements (REEs) using finite element method (FEM) simulations and life cycle assessment (LCA) to compare their technical and environmental performance against PMSMs with REE-based magnets. The alternative machine types considered are the induction machine (IM)\, synchronous reluctance machine (SynRM)\, and electrically excited synchronous machine (EESM). Specifically\, three IM configurations\, two SynRM configurations\, and two EESM configurations were analyzed\, incorporating different combinations of conductor materials\, aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu). \nThe analysis reveals that Cu-based configurations generally exhibit lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions due to superior efficiency and power density\, while Al-based machines demonstrate reduced environmental impacts in categories such as toxicity and acidification. Notably\, EESM and IM\, both utilizing full copper conductors\, emerge as promising alternatives to the Ref. PMSM in terms of global warming potential for high- or low-GHG electricity scenarios. \nBeyond baseline comparisons\, the study explores strategies for further GHG reduction\, including the use of green virgin aluminum and improved material utilization during the punching process of electrical steel sheets\, collectively referred to as “green manufacturing.” A sensitivity analysis on magnet production further suggests that\, under favorable conditions\, REE-free machines with Al conductors may achieve a lower carbon footprint than for the Ref. PMSM. \nThis work underscores the environmental trade-offs inherent in e-machine selection for EVs and highlights the critical importance of sustainable materials and manufacturing practices in future e-machine design\, in addition to high efficiency and power density. \n

SUMMARY:Doctoral Student Network: Writing Bootcamp\, 3 hp
DESCRIPTION:It is a common saying that writing is 90 % procrastination and 30 % panic (and perhaps 20 % being bad at maths). The purpose of the SEC PhD Writing Bootcamp is to move beyond this view by learning methods for productive writing. \n  \nBackground\nMost PhD students say that their greatest challenges with writing are getting started and staying productive. Still\, most writing instruction focuses on the technical aspects of writing – structuring a text\, handling references\, and developing academic style. In contrast to this\, our Bootcamp focuses on methods for efficient and productive writing. \n  \nFormat\nThe Bootcamp consists of a mix of instruction\, discussion\, and actual writing. Afterwards\, you will probably find that you not only developed your writing skills – you also got a lot of writing done! Participants should bring a text to work with. It could be a part of a research paper in the making\, a thesis\, a project application\, or simply a plan for the next steps of your research. The idea is to have something to work with during the writing sessions\, so it can be a text at any level of preparation. You will learn about: \n• How to avoid procrastination when writing \n• How to maintain your focus \n• How to write efficiently \n• How to give and take feedback \n• Free-writing \n• Writing snacks \n• Useful exercises for body and mind \n  \nCredits\nIf your academic supervisor agrees to it\, you can obtain 3 hp by: \n• Reading the distributed articles \n• Participating in the full bootcamp \n• Setting a plan for your writing during the month following the bootcamp \n• Writing a reflection on how the bootcamp affected your writing process \n  \nPractical information\nWe can accommodate 32 participants. Registration is done on a first come\, first served basis. The Bootcamp starts with lunch on Monday 8 December 12:00 and ends on Wednesday 10 December at 13:00. \nParticipants are responsible for booking their own travel and accommodation. A booking code will be provided for access to discounted rates after registration. \nThe Bootcamp is free of charge\, but a fee of SEK 1\,200 will be charged if a registered participant fails to show up without prior cancellation. If you need to cancel\, please do so by 28 November to the Bootcamp instructor. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact the Bootcamp instructor at oivind.andersson@energy.lth.se. \n  \nRegistration\nFor registration please click here. \nRegister by 28 November 2025. \n  \nVoices from past participants\n“On the first day\, I was able to write a very rough draft of my introduction section. All I did was to follow the tips described earlier in the day\, shut off the inner critic and just write.” \n  \n“I was astonished to see that I wrote more than 2\,500 words during something like three hours of writing snacks. I’ve never produced so many words in such a short time in my life!” \n  \n“My main take away is separating the creative and critical sides of writing. The bootcamp showed what I can accomplish when giving space to the creative side. I also had better ideas when letting the creative side operate.”

SUMMARY:Theme (2) Electric drives and charging: Workshop on Soft Magnetic Materials
DESCRIPTION:Magnetic materials are at the heart of electric motors. They channel the magnetic fields generated by coils or permanent magnets\, enabling the interaction that produces torque — and ultimately\, the tractive power that drives our vehicles. \nFor optimal performance\, these materials must guide magnetic fields as efficiently as possible. Yet\, because the fields are constantly changing under real operating conditions\, soft magnetic materials also introduce losses. Understanding and modelling the loss behaviour of these materials is complex\, but essential for improving efficiency and reliability. \nIn this workshop\, participants will gain insights into the characterisation\, modelling\, and testing of soft magnetic materials —directly from the researchers and experts who work hands-on with these challenges. \nWe look forward to meeting you! \n  \nDate        21 October \nTime       12:30-16:00 \nVenue     Chalmers University of Technology\, Room Analysen\, Hörsalsvägen 11\, 412 58  Göteborg \n  \nPlease note\, this workshop is for SEC partners only. \nPlease\, register for the workshop HERE \nRegister by 12:00 on 17 October 2025.

SUMMARY:Are Electric Trucks Ready to Take Over? System Analysis and the difficulty of drawing conclusions from a very fragmented picture.
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explains system analysis of electric trucks from technical\, economic\, and user perspectives\, and what the findings say about the system’s maturity. It highlights key challenges and argues that Sweden has likely passed the tipping point for the adoption of electric trucks. Two milestones remain\, but they appear almost inevitable. \nThe talk also offers an inside view of the transition process\, explaining why its progress is often unclear. Public debate often gives a confusing picture\, and I will share thoughts on why this happens and how to still draw some useful conclusions. \n  \nAbout\nAnders Grauers is an associate professor at Chalmers University of Technology and an Electric vehicle specialist within the Swedish Electromobility Centre. He has previously worked at Volvo Cars\, developing active safety systems and serving as a technical specialist on Autonomous Driving Support Systems. Prior to that\, he was a researcher in electric power engineering. \nAnders’ focus is system-oriented research on electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure\, spanning technical\, economical and user aspects. He has been working in several projects on how to build and operate electric buses\, trucks and cars in a cost-effective way. The research is aiming to find vehicle types which are suitable for starting the electrification of road transport\, and to identify and eliminate obstacles for their introduction. \n  \nDate          1 October \nTime         13:00-14:00 \nLocation   Online – Teams. We’ll send the Teams link to registered participants the day before the webinar. \n  \nPlease click HERE to register for the webinar. \nLast day to register is by 13:00 on 29 September.

SUMMARY:Doctoral defence - Batteries at Crossroads: Past\, Present\, and Future Environmental Impacts of Lithium-ion Batteries
DESCRIPTION:Docotral thesis defence – Mudit Chordia\, Chalmers University of Technology \nTitle: Batteries at Crossroads: Past\, Present\, and Future Environmental Impacts of Lithium-ion Batteries \nThesis (public): https://research.chalmers.se/en/publication/547988 \nWhen: Monday\, 24 September\, 13:15 \nWhere: Vasa B (building Vasa Hus 2). Vera Sandbergs Allé 8. Entrance Floor. Room 2221 (hybrid) \nOnline: https://chalmers.zoom.us/j/61346020623 \nFull abstract and updated information can be found at Chalmers University of Technology’s website: https://www.chalmers.se/en/current/calendar/Mudit-Chordia-547988/ \nElectric cars are growing fast\, and so is the demand for the batteries that power them. While batteries are vital for cutting climate emissions\, making them also leaves its own mark on the planet. This thesis looks at three big parts of a battery’s journey: how raw materials are mined\, how batteries are built in large factories\, and what happens to them at the end of their life. The findings show that bigger factories can make batteries more efficiently\, but they also bring new challenges like higher emissions at the production site. Mining\, in particular\, can have very different impacts depending on where and how it is done\, and future reliance on lower-grade ores may drive these impacts even higher. The research also shows that the way we measure impacts can change the results — with past assessments often based on unrepresentative data\, present results shaped by high variability in supply chains and study scope\, and future outcomes likely to diverge further as data choices and methods evolve. In short\, batteries are essential for a cleaner future\, but their footprint must be carefully tracked as technology and supply chains change.
