Our Vision

Empowering a sustainable future through innovation in electrical power systems

Mission statement:

  • Driving innovation in power systems.
  • Enabling the transition towards renewable energy.
  • Delivering real-world solutions that minimize environmental impact.

Our research group conducts research and has the expertise to benefit the industry and the public in Norway and internationally. We aim to be a preferred partner in Norwegian and European research projects and seeks to take a lead role in Norway within electrical power system research.

Our main focus areas

  • System Optimization, Digitalization, and Integration. Hydro-, solar- and wind storage.
  • Power Delivery and apparatus. Measurement and operation.
  • Multi-energy markets and Power system planning. Flexibility, ancillary services and economics.
  • Sustainable Electrification. Transportation, process industry and offshore.

Thematic focus includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Hydropower systems
  • Power system operation, dynamics and stability
  • Stand-alone and Grid-connected PV Systems
  • Battery Energy Storage Systems
  • Medium Voltage Switchgear
  • Internal Arc Faults
  • Thermal Design of Electrical Equipment

Infrastructure

The research group has access to advanced laboratories and scientific equipment:

  • Generator lab
  • Smartgrid-lab
  • High current lab
  • High voltage lab

Ongoing research activities
