Gerben Dekker is working for DNV GL in the Energy Advisory service line. Before moving to Norway, he worked as a consultant at DNV KEMA’s headquarters in Arnhem, The Netherlands, in the Power System Planning and Operation team. Gerben holds a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering, majoring in control systems. This background enables him to analyze problems from a systems’ point of view, with a focus on the overall system behavior and its impact on the stakeholders involved. As such, he is often involved in projects where engineering aspects meet economic, legal, or regulatory issues. Frequency stability and balancing markets are a prime example of this type of projects. Recently, he has been working in a joint industry project with Statnett, exploring the future of power system planning, system operations, control engineering and power system balancing.
