Gerd Kjølle is Centre Director at the Centre for Intelligent Electricity Distribution (CINELDI), hosted by SINTEF Energy Research. As Centre Director at CINELDI, Gerd contributes to designing the future’s flexible and robust electrical distribution grid at an acceptable cost. This will pave the ground for increased distributed generation from renewable resources, electrification of transport, and more efficient energy use.

Gerd holds a PhD in Electric power engineering and Electric power systems from NTNU. Some of her publications include Scenario selection in composite reliability assessment of deregulated power systems and Reliability-Centric Studies in Smart Grids: Adequacy and Vulnerability Considerations. Recently, her work has revolved around energy security, energy flexibility, and the green transition. Moreover, Gerd was involved in the GARPUR project – Generally Accepted Reliability Principle with Uncertainty modelling and through probabilistic Risk assessment.
