Sveriges elnät är byggt för att distribuera el från stora källor i norr till många små användare i söder. Vad händer när andelen solceller i lågspänningsnäten blir betydande? Vad får det för inverkan på näten? Hur stor får andelen solceller bli innan problem med överspänning, övertoner eller assymmetri uppstår? På uppdrag av Lunds Energi undersöker vi dessa frågor genom studier av deras nät.

As a criticism of traditional realist theories, Sub-altern realism argues that states in the Third World are defined by their weak state structure, which in turn changes their behavior both towards other states and on the domestic arena. This paper is based on findings from a Minor Field Study that I conduc
