Elkraftkontroll 2025

Johannes Kalland Tjoland holds a Master’s degree in Electrical Power Systems from NTNU, completed in 2021. He began his career as a trainee at ABB, gaining diverse experience across studies, engineering, and R&D in both Norway and Switzerland. Currently, Johannes is an R&D Engineer at PPSim, where he works with developing a simulator for electrical power systems. He is actively involved in several projects, utilizing the simulator to develop controllers and test system functionality from early stages to operation and operator training.

Abstract for presentation: In the presentation, along with Johannes, she will discuss how dynamic models of electrical components and real-time simulations can be beneficial throughout the different stages of projects. Starting from the pre-FEED and FEED phases with electrical system studies, the discussion will further delve into the engineering phase and integration with control systems. Utilizing simulators and the integration capabilities can help reduce commissioning time and enhance operational efficiency.

Currently working as a technical sales specialist in the offshore wind segment at ABB Norway, Shipra has a background in Electrical Engineering and Energy Science. She graduated from Masters in Energy Science and Technology from ETH Zürich in 2023. Shipra started as a Power System Designer at ABB after graduating from her masters and worked primarily with projects related to system design for green hydrogen production facilities and electrification of offshore facilities. With her new role as technical sales specialist, she intends to focus on the challenges and solutions in the offshore wind industry, while continuing to contribute to holistic system design.

Hans Petter Sevang leder Statkrafts sentrale seksjon for «asset performance analysis». Formålet med seksjonen er å utføre og sette organisasjonen i stand til å analysere ytelse og tilstand på våre eiendeler. Seksjonen dekker de største av Statkrafts teknologier. For å løse dette oppdraget driver seksjonen også utstrakt verktøyutvikling, inkludert avanserte analysemodeller.

Hans Petter Sevang er siviløkonom NHH 1991 har lang og bred erfaring i fra Statkraft. Han har drevet og ledet økonomisk analyse av prosjekter, selskapets finansielle posisjon, samt strategisk analyse av kraftmarkedet.

Avansert data analyse hva kan den gjøre for oss? Statkraft og andre kraftselskap bruker hvert år store beløp til å vedlikeholde og rehabilitere våre anlegg. Dette gjør vi for å opprettholde krav til helse, miljø og sikkerhet, samt økonomisk inntjening. Samtidig har vi også nedetidskostnader, både planlagt og ikke planlagt. Statkraft har siden 2017 arbeidet med å identifisere tilfeller hvor avansert analyse kan ha verdi. Parallelt har vi utviklet analyseplattform og metodikk. Jeg vil dele litt av våre erfaringer om hvor og hvordan man skal lete.
