Electric Power Technology
The Department works with issues related to electric power technology, analyses, testing and development of electric power equipment in cooperation with the Department of Electrical Power Engineering at NTNU.
Our state-of-the-art electric and materials technology laboratories and test equipment are vital tools that support our research. We have pressure tanks that are used to simulate different service conditions for the offshore industry. In our modern equipment park we also have instrumentations for numerous field measurements onshore and offshore. We perform contract research for the Norwegian and international electrotechnical industry, energy distribution and supply, and maritime activities. We are also cooperating with NTNU in their education of MSc and PhD students.
