System and software safety in electronic systems is becoming increasingly important in many industries and in critical societal infrastructure. The systems become ever more complex, connected and autonomous and the software continues to grow. This poses many challenges even for mature organizations, requiring approaches that go beyond established best practices. Many organizations face the same kind of challenges and thus sharing of experiences becomes essential
The Scandinavian conference on safety critical systems and software has become a central meeting place for Scandinavian safety experts from industry, public and academic organizations. The conference is an opportunity to share experiences and make new contacts. There will be a plenary overview day, and a second day with parallel sessions. The parallel sessions will be in depth workshops and tutorials about different challenges, techniques, standards and methods. As for the previous years, we anticipate a healthy mixture of participants with presentations from different industries and academia.
This year we collaborate with Swedish Electromobility Centre at Chalmers, and special focus will be on safety in electrification of transport. We will have keynotes on safety from Etteplan and Heart Aerospace, two companies involved in the electromobility transformation.
In addition to the usual SCSSS topics (such as safety related to artificial intelligence, agile development, architecture, autonomy, and quality assurance) we invite proposals for presentations and workshops on safety-related topics for electromobility, including electric machines, battery technologies and charging infrastructure.
Do you want to share with the safety experts of Scandinavia? Do you want to "connect" with the safety experts of Scandinavia?
You are invited to register. Early bird period ends October 6 and final registration will close November 15, 2024

by Anton Nytén, Etteplan
As the global demand for energy storage solutions surges, the battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth. From electric vehicles to renewable energy storage, batteries play a pivotal role in shaping our sustainable future. However, this rapid expansion brings forth critical safety considerations that cannot be overlooked.
In this presentation, we delve into the dynamic landscape of the emerging battery market. We explore the latest advancements in lithium-ion, solid-state, and beyond. But beyond performance metrics and energy density, safety remains paramount. The talk will thus address the critical importance of robust safety protocols, from cell design to manufacturing and end-of-life management where topics such as thermal management, the impact of the regulatory framework and risk mitigation strategies will be discussed.
Dr. Anton Nytén has held a doctoral degree in chemistry with a focus on Li-ion batteries from Uppsala University since 2006. He has been active in the battery and electrification field for over 20 years, gaining deep expertise in battery development, battery safety and electrification within different segments such as the automotive industry, the area of industrial applications, and various consumer products. Additionally, he contributes to the national committee IEC TK21/21A, participating in the development and establishment of international standards for rechargeable batteries. Currently, Anton works at Etteplan Sweden AB as the Battery Technology Director, leading a team of battery specialists who provide expert knowledge in battery technology and electrification matters to support companies with their battery operated products.
by Johan Hellsing, Heart Aerospace
Heart Aerospace mission is to decarbonize and democratize air travel. For this, we are developing the ES-30 aircraft and a unique Electric Hybrid Propulsion System (EHPS). The ES-30 will rely on batteries for shorter full-electric flights and will rely on turbine engines as energy reserve and for extended trips. The electric propulsion system introduces a new level of aerospace electrification in terms of installed power, and the hybrid propulsion system introduces a new level of system complexity. On top of this, every sub-system in the aircraft has to be designed to support full-electric aviation. The minimum level of system safety which will be required for an approved aircraft design is available in the EASA’s CS-25 Certification Specifications along with the EHPS Special Condition E-19. This keynote speech will cover some of the main aspects of how Heart Aerospace is planning to meet the aviation system safety standards, comparing EHPS to traditional solutions across the system and subsystem levels.
Johan Hellsing is working as Senior Electric Propulsion Engineer at Heart Aerospace since 2023. Johan has a Licentiate degree in Electric Machine Design from Chalmers University of Technology and has for 25 years worked with all different levels of vehicle electrification in cars, trucks, buses and construction machines. His area of interest stretches from electric propulsion systems – consisting of electric motors, power electronics and gearboxes – to high voltage systems, battery systems, thermal management as well as control systems. He has been active in the Swedish Electromobility Center, SEC, and also led several industrial research projects within the area of vehicle electrification.
