1	Elprisets effekt på tillverkningskostnaden : Tillverkande företags likviditetshantering och åtgärder under en elkris Persson, Tilda, Hiblin, Matilda January 2023 (has links) The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how manufacturing companies are affected by the electricity crisis and what measures they have taken to maintain liquidity in their operations. To achieve this, the empirical evidence will be based on interviews with manufacturing companies located in electricity area 4. To answer the questions “In what way have manufacturing companies in electricity area 4 been affected during the current electricity crisis?” and “How have these companies changed their operations and managed their liquidity and costs during the electricity crisis?” the study is based on an abductive research and on a qualitative research method. The results of the study shows that companies with variable electricity contracts in combination with an electricity cost that makes up a larger part of their manufacturing cost have suffered the most from a liquidity point of view. The most common measures taken by the companies were to increase the selling price, reduce their electricity use and become more self-sufficient in electricity.

2	Community Continuity Management : An Exploration of the Energy Production and Use of a Fictional Stockholm Neighbourhood in a Crisis / Kontinuitetshantering för gemenskaper : Att utforska energiproduktion och användning i ett fiktivt kvarter i Stockholm Brattgård, Nils January 2023 (has links) In an increasingly interconnected, and electricity-reliant world, households are asked to build up their resilience to crises. Local, distributed electricity production within a microgrid with capability to operate disconnected from the larger grid has been shown to be an effective tool for increasing power system resilience in the past. The energy production of local renewable sources is, however, not sufficient in meeting normal household energy demand. This thesis explores whether the forming of communities can be utilised to reduce energy demand and as a result, increase the resiliency of both the community and urban environments. The analysis of household energy use and the subsequently developed toolbox provide insights into energy use both under normal societal function and during a crisis. Through living and cooking together as a community, significant energy-efficiency gains were possible, exceeding those reasonably achieved within each individual household. Community was further determined to be important in the planning and development of more resilient combinations of renewable energy, going beyond solar power. When implemented in theoretical scenarios, energy communities at a building and block level could provide sufficient energy for the households’ most immediate needs without major sacrifices of wellness. The scheme proposed is argued to require not only monetary investments, but also larger societal shifts. Producing sufficient quantities of electricity within urban environments will mean a large change in how cities are experienced. Public understanding and acceptance for such a change is likely to be necessary. Through the implementation, the role of the municipality would go from action-taking to mostly laying the groundwork for the formation of communities, as well as advising these as they achieve higher household resilience. Most critically, however, there is a need for the broader population to embrace working together in communities.
