About
I work in the field of high voltage apparatus, electrical machines and power electronics at the Department of Electrical Power Engineering at NTNU. I am interested in how a system-oriented perspective and digital tools can help improve the design of electrical systems, from generation to consumption. I am the study program leader for Electrification and Digitalisation (ELDIG). I am a member of NTNU Team Wind and the Gemini Centre on Green Aviation.
Keywords: High Voltage Apparatus, Electric Ageing Mechanisms, High Voltage Electric Machines, Partial Discharges, HVDC systems, Wind Energy, Electric Aviation, Electrostatic Machines
My research focus:
- Insulation design for HVDC, HVAC and inverter-fed machines
- System-oriented design of electromagnetic machines
- Partial discharges
I have coordinated the EU proposal “Modular High Voltage Direct Current Generator for Onshore Wind (ModHVDC)” in 2018, the project received a high score but was not chosen for funding, received incentive funding from IE-faculty for high score. Partners: DTU, UGENT, Sintef Energi, Siemens Gamesa, Fabricom, Partzsch Elektromotoren, PowerCon
Received two research awards: Nowitech Innovation award (2015) and Grønn fases energipris (2016) for a compact, high voltage generator.
