About

Research area

I am the head of the "Electricity Markets and Energy Systems Planning" (EMESP) research group at the Department of Electric Energy, NTNU. I have performed research on various topics in power system economics, electricity demand flexibility, and smart grids. My research activities centre around the following aspects:

Power market analysis and hydropower scheduling
Power system balancing
Local flexibility markets and flexibility operation in smart systems

I am a senior member of IEEE and an active member of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Wind Task 25. It is an international forum formed for international cooperation and knowledge sharing between experts in the field. In 2021, I was promoted to join the International Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN) to represent Norway as an expert in Flexibility Markets in Annex 9 – Aspects of market design for power system flexibility.

I serve as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Energy Markets, Policy and Regulation.

Publications

My research activities are divided into three main areas:

RA1: Power market analysis and hydropower scheduling
RA2: power system balancing
RA3: Local flexibility markets and flexibility operation in smart systems.

I briefly describe the main theme of the research area:

RA1: Power market analysis and hydropower scheduling

Fundamental power market models represent an important part of the value chain for creating value from renewable energy sources. Various stakeholders apply these decision support tools for power system analyses, price forecasting, production planning and dispatch. Hydropower scheduling plays an important role in power market modelling and analysis in the Nordic and Norwegian systems since hydropower is a large part of the energy mix. There has been a rapid ongoing transition to a renewable and integrated European power system during the last decade. The significant change in the system challenges current state-of-the-art market models. To enable the system to integrate large amounts of RES and ensure an efficient market operation, the Nordic and European power market design is under continuous development, which needs to be accounted for in power market models used as decision support tools.

RA2: Power system balancing

The impact of the growing penetration of RES and the ongoing electrification of several sectors are challenging the power system balancing. This imposes severe challenges for system operation, including increased demand for balancing reserves, improved production flexibility of power producers, and active demand response to take over the real-time imbalances.

RA3: Local flexibility markets and flexibility operation in smart systems

Power systems are undergoing major changes due to rapid growth in renewable distributed energy resources and improvements in the digitalisation of equipment. While these changes enhance sustainability and efficiency, they also create significant management challenges as the complexity of grids increases. This research topic explores decision support and market uptake studies to assess the costs and benefits of new flexibility technologies, procedures and infrastructures needed for power systems and market operation.
