1

What are the biggest challenges to your customers right now?

Electrical deregulation and decentralization is changing the way the power grid is managed in many countries. Finding the balance between necessary investments and ensuring a reliable supply of electrical energy is one of the biggest challenges of our customers.

2

How do you go about solving an engineering dilemma for customers?

When I work on a project, I have extensive communication with customers to understand their project needs. By gaining a deeper understanding of their objectives, challenges and engineering dilemmas, I can offer insight into multiple options and customized solutions for their project to be successful.

What trends will influence the industry over the next couple of years?

The investment in decentralized, alternative electrical power generation like wind and solar is a growing trend. Moving from a unidirectional to an actively regulated grid will influence the cable accessories industry. The volatile and difficult to predict power flow will require new approaches and technologies, like sensors and other measurement devices, to detect and prevent failures in the grid.
