The innovation project Smart Senja is carried out by leading entrepenours within the energy industry, in close collaboration with the people at Senja.
Troms Kraft Net is the project leader and the biggest investor. The power company Ishavskraft is an innovative provider of energy, while Troms Kraft Production is a major producer of renewable energy. Powel, Nodes and Enfo are leading providers of software solutions within their respective specialities. Eaton is contributing with innovative battery technology. Solbes is a major North Norwegian provider of solar power plants. UiT – the Arctic University of Norway, has the largest interdisciplinary research community in the region. Several researchers, masters students and four doctoral candidates are involved in this project through UiTs research center ARC (Arctic Centre for Sustainable Energy) and is organizing their research activities through the research project RENEW (Transformation to a Renewable and Smart Rural Power System Community).
The local businesses “Brødrene Karlsen” and “Nergård AS” are not only corner stones in their community, but also internationally renowned sea food suppliers. They are experiencing rapid development and growth, and are pilot users of the solutions in this project.
Til sammen har dette konsortiet den brede kompetanse og sterke innovasjonskraft som er nødvendig for å realisere et ‘fremtidens energisystem’. «Smart Senja» kunne ikke vært gjennomført uten finansiell støtte fra Enova – en sterk pådriver for den pågående omstillingen til lavutslippssamfunnet.

Bjarte Hoff
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.

In Smart Senja Matteo contributes to work package 3
«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.»
