Better, cheaper and more reliable
More of our energy in the future needs to come from electrical sources instead of fossil fuels. This requires all electronics to become better, cheaper, and even more reliable.
Aalborg has a strong position within Energy, but in the specific field of Power Electronics, Aalborg University is one of the top universities in the world.
Power Electronics process 80% of electricity generated and utilized today and are a critical part of the infrastructure toward the green transition.
Aalborg University
Power Electronics and Global Energy Prize winner, Frede BlaabjergThe field of power electronics is almost synonym with Aalborg University professor, Frede Blaabjerg. Besides being the worlds most cited researcher within engineering, Frede Blaabjerg is also leading the research mission, Energy Efficiency at Aalborg University.
The Energy Efficiency research mission is focused on meeting the global challenge of climate change. The vision is to utilize the current and the next generation technologies to transform unsustainable energy systems and energize a sustainable future. A prioritized focus in the mission is the enablement of green electrical power generation, distribution and usage.
Researchers at Aalborg University includes: Frede Blaabjerg, Lasse Rosendahl, Henrik Lund, Søren Knudsen Kær, Brian Vad Mathiesen, Mads Pagh Nielsen and Zhe Chen.
The University Research Groups commited to Electrification and Energy Integration are:
Norbis Park
A green living labThe area around Nordjyllandsværket is being transformed into a massive test and demonstration center within green water and energy solutions of the future.
The area where the power plant is located, amounts to approx. 90 hectares and the city is preparing the area to house facilities for research, testing and development of new technologies.
One of the larger projects to be established at the site is a power-to-x plant, which is to produce green methanol made from captured CO2, green electricity and water.
The ambition is to create a sustainable, vibrant environment with a focus on synergy, partnerships and resource sharing and the testing of new forms of energy, such as solar and wind energy, surplus heat, geothermal energy, fuel cells and heat pumps.
Aalborg is a city in Denmark
