About us

Johannes har over 15 års erfaring med fornybar energi. Han har jobbet i miljøstiftelsen ZERO, biogasselskapet Biokraft AS og har vært daglig leder i Norsk bioenergiforening (NOBIO). I Smart Senja er han behjelpelig med å formidle begivenheter og resultater i og fra prosjektet.

Ronald er utdannet sivilingeniør og har mangeårig bakgrunn fra Troms Kraft produksjon. Han er nå ansatt hos Universitetet i Tromsø og har ansvaret for å koordinere kontakten med lokalsamfunnet i forbindelse med Smart Senja. Blant annet er Ronald sentral i gjennomføringen av undervisning og andre aktiviteter i samarbeid med skolene på Husøy og i Senjahopen.

Julien er prosjektleder for Smart Senja og ansatt hos Arva AS (tidl. Troms Kraft Nett). Han har prosjektledererfaring fra olje- og gassnæringen og romindustri. Han har også jobbet i Innovasjon Norge Arktis som seniorrådgiver med ansvar for vekst, internasjonalisering og bærekraft.

 

My Research interests are the future energy systems and electric transport,  two inspiring areas that are important for the transition to a sustainable future. The use of power conversion technology through power electronics and associated control algorithms is essential for renewable energy, electric transport and energy storage. Charging of electric vehicles, maritime vessels and aircrafts is combining all those research areas on both component and system level, representing an important element for the electric future. In ARC, technology meets the society, bringing new solutions closer to realization.

My Research background in power electronics for energy conversion applications and associated control algorithms such as predictive control. Practical experience in low voltage electrical installations for domestic and maritime systems.

«As a material scientist working on creating and implementating technologies necessary to adapt the current energy system into a more sustainable, competitive and secure one, I design and investigate engineered nanomaterials for solar energy conversion and storage systems. Currently I focus my research on tackling specific challenges related to the deployment of renewable energy under arctic conditions through a synthetic and symbiotic approach. I cultivate interdisciplinarity and combine technologies to create optimal solutions while ensuring their harmonious integration in a societal context to achieve sustainable living and the wellbeing of people. This approach has characterized my research at Masdar Institute (now KU) where, since 2007 I have systematically tackled several of the major challenges related to solar energy implementation in desert environment. The outcome of my research has been pivotal in the realization of photovoltaics projects promising electricity at record-low prices with PPA (power purchase agreement) bids reaching as low as 1.79c/kWh.»
