Presenters

 

Walter Sattinger obtained his Dipl-Ing. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Stuttgart. He worked eight years for DIgSILENT in Germany as a study engineer performing worldwide dynamic power system studies. From 2003-2025, he worked for the Swiss Transmission System operator ETRANS/Swissgrid on the interface between power system design and operation, being responsible for the operation of the link between power generation, power distribution, and the interconnected operation with the European Continental Power System.

Jorrit Bos received his MSc degree in Electrical Power Engineering from Delft University of Technology in 2008. He then joined TenneT TSO B.V. as a technical trainee, before starting as a grid strategist in 2010. In this role, he has played a part in future grid development in the Netherlands (at the 220/380 kV and 150 kV levels) and at a European level. As a senior expert in power system stability, he is involved in several studies and projects to determine future system requirements for a stable grid, considering topics such as inertia, system strength, grid code requirements, and PMU/WAMS development. Within ENTSO-E, he is an active member of the ‘System Protection and Dynamics’ working group, where he works on developing the continental European dynamic model and the ‘Planning Standards’ task force, including ‘project inertia’.

Oleg Bagleybter is a Senior Staff Engineering Manager at GE Vernova and is responsible for the Advanced Automation Applications R&D portfolio within the Grid Automation business. His focus is on developing and deploying innovative applications and solutions for Transmission and Distribution Grids, including MicroGrid control systems, Renewable Integration solutions, and WAMPAC applications. He received a Diploma in Electrical Engineering and a Ph.D. degree from Irkutsk Technical University in 1999 and 2006, respectively. He has worked as a Protection and Control Engineer for a utility in Siberia and a Product Manager for transmission protection relays for GE Grid Solutions.

Douglas Wilson obtained his degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Edinburgh.  He is a Principal Analytics Engineer in the Department of Advanced Digital Grid Technology.

Mario Ndreko received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Since 2017, he has been with TenneT TSO GmbH in the energy system planning department with a focus on system integrity topics. Between 2021 and 2025, he served as the Convener of the ENTSO-E Group of connection network codes. To date, he is responsible within TenneT TSO GmbH for the development of multi-vendor HVDC system functional specifications and the execution of HVDC system design studies.

Wilhelm Winter received the Dipl.-Ing. degree and the Dr.-Ing. degree in Power Engineering from the Technical University of Berlin in 1995 and 1998, respectively. From 1995 to 2002, he was with Siemens, working in the department for protection development and in the system planning department. He was involved in large system studies, including stability calculations, HVDC and FACTS optimizations, Modal Analysis, transient phenomena, real-time simulation, and renewable energy systems. He was responsible for the development of the NETOMAC Eigenvalue Analysis program. In 2002, he changed to EON Netz GmbH, setting up the new workstream for grid stability. He was involved in large European system studies, coordinating the European Wind Integration study in 2007 and the Umbrella project in 2010. Since 2010, he has been working at TenneT TSO GmbH and was appointed as an Expert on HVDC Overlay Grid Design & System Security in 2012, answering all relevant design questions for the first of its kind embedded HVDC SuedLink. In parallel, he was appointed to the ENTSO-E convener of the network code HVDC drafting team. In 2014, he was appointed as coordinator of a team of experts for HVDC planning. Since July 2020, he has led the Cross-Border Team for Electrical System Design within Energy System Planning. Since 2025, he has been appointed as a full professor of Electrical System Design in the department of Electrical Sustainable Energy at the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science at Delft University of Technology.

Martijn Janssen works as a consultant in Electrical Power Systems for Duurzaam Energie Perspectief at Alliander. 

He obtained his MSc in Electrical Power Engineering from the Delft University of Technology in 2014, specializing in High Voltage Technology and Asset Management. He started his career at Ricardo Rail with electrical compatibility tests for trains and trackside equipment. Since 2021, he has participated in the collaboration with TU Delft, TenneT, and Alliander to improve frequency defence schemes in Continental Europe. Recent outcomes of this ongoing collaboration include the completion of a feasibility study and the successful guidance of two MSc projects. His fields of interest include underfrequency load shedding, signal processing, data science, and risk-based asset management.
