Title:
Wave Energy Converters and system engineering in startup environments
Abstract:
The presentation will cover system design and control engineering aspect
related to the development of a novel wave energy converter – aiming at
optimizing the reliability and total cost of harvesting energy from oceans.
Examples from a structured product development, where a combination of
top-level commercial and technical specifications is guiding the process
will be given, together with a technical overview of a wave energy converter
system – with emphasis of the specific challenges related to offshore
devices.
Biography:
As CEO and system architect of CorPower Ocean AB, Patrik is currently
bringing a revolutionary wave power technology to the market. The goal is to
deliver clean and renewable energy to the world by harvesting the vast
resources of ocean waves in an effective way.
Previously, in Replisaurus Technolgies, he introduced a new technology for
manufacturing of copper layers in semiconductor chips. Replisaurus was built
on his M.Sc. project into an 80 people company with operations in several
countries and fully automated production equipment. It was backed by major
European VCs and attracted industry top names within several technical
areas, including system design and engineering.
Patrik holds more than 20 patents and has published numerous technical
papers.
