KSEE 2021: Practical examples of (renewable) energy Systems of Systems

KSEE 2021

Kongsberg Systems Engineering Event- KSEE 2021 will be a track at the 16th International Conference on System of Systems Engineering SoSE 2021.


15 Jun

Practical information

Industrial companies gradually shift their focus to renewable energy. Energy systems inherently are systems of systems with systems on the demand and supply side, infrastructure systems, and various levels of control systems.

This year KSEE sessions are jointly organized with the SoSE. In this track, lead by Gerrit Muller, KSEE invites practitioners to present what and how they develop renewable energy solutions.

Presenting at KSEE

Nikolai has a B. Sc. in renewable energy and power engineering from the University of Southern Norway, and a M. Sc. in Industrial Management with Systems Engineering from the University of South-Eastern Norway. His thesis on disruptive innovation in power systems was inspired by his interest for power- and energy systems, and the challenges spurred by new drivers and behaviours in energy markets. Post-graduation he now works in civil engineering, designing and building high voltage cable systems.
