Sverre Stefanussen Foslie researches how energy efficiency and flexibility in the industrial sector can contribute to a faster transition of the energy system. He has worked at SINTEF since 2017 focusing on energy efficiency, and further specialized in industrial flexibility through a PhD during the period 2021–2024. Sverre works to ensure that industry becomes a more active participant in the future integrated energy system — something that is essential for enabling a rapid transition.
Education
MSc in mechanical engineering from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2013. PhD from the same university, department of electrical energy from 2025.
Competence and research areas
Sverre Stefanussen Foslie researches the potential for flexibility in industrial processes, energy storage, and energy efficiency in industry, for example with high-temperature heat pumps. His work often involves the use of optimization models, either for the industrial plant itself or as part of a larger energy system in a given area. The value of flexibility is typically explored in relation to electricity and energy prices, reserve markets, grid constraints, and emission reductions.
