Abstract
\nDuring its more than 100 years of existence, the electric power system has been faced with various challenges, which had to be overcome to shape the system as we know it today. Due to an effective cooperation between the power industry and universities and other research institutions, we have today in many parts of the world a system that provides its users with high quality and reliable power at affordable prices. The list of technical, economical, and regulatory issues that have been solved is virtually endless and the continuous and close teamwork between different stakeholders has been essential in this success story. In order to tackle the future challenges it is of utmost importance that this cooperation be continued and be more interactive so that the research community can play a pivotal role in this important task.
\n
\nThis lecture will first give a brief historical overview of how research results have had a significant influence on the development of the electric power system. Second, the most salient challenges, according to the author, the power system is faced with will be discussed. Examples that will be presented are handling of uncertainties and risks, data management, interaction with other energy systems, consumer behavior, various implications of technical changes, and cyber security. Many of these challenges would require new approaches, system designs and controls, system and component models, or new analytical and computational techniques to be effectively resolved.
\n
\nFurther, a model for the cooperation and interaction between industry and research institutions will be sketched. Even if the overall goal of all the stakeholders is the same, they have different roles to play and this must acknowledged in the set-up of the cooperative projects.

\nDr. Andersson was born in Malmö, Sweden. He obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. degree from the University of Lund in 1975 and 1980, respectively. In 1980 he joined ASEA:s, now ABB, HVDC division in Ludvika, Sweden, where he worked with design and control HVDC systems. In 1986 he was appointed full professor in electric power systems at KTH (Royal Institute of Technology), Stockholm, Sweden. Since 2000 he is full professor in electric power systems at ETH Zürich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) where he heads the powers system laboratory. His research interests are in power system analysis and control, in particular power systems dynamics and control involving HVDC and other power electronics based equipment. Another research direction concerns future energy systems and the integration of fluctuating renewable power sources.
