Lecture Harry Stokman (DC Expert)

The KIVI Electrical Engineering Department cordially invites you to an inspiring e-Lunch Webinar with Harry Stokman (DC Expert), one of the most influential pioneers in the field of direct current (DC).

Since 1988, he has been working on innovative DC solutions and plays a key role in international standardisation within IEC and NEN, among others.

His invention Current/OS (standards DC microgrids) is now used worldwide and is an important foundation for safe and efficient DC infrastructures.

"What can DC do for the energy transition?"

During this session, Harry addresses the question, "What can DC do for the energy transition?"

He highlights, among other things:

  • Why DC offers a powerful answer to grid congestion and growing electrification needs; [deingenieur.nl]
  • How DC networks can be more efficient, safe and sustainable than traditional AC systems; [dc.systems]
  • What innovations and applications are already being put into practice today, from public lighting to complete DC microgrids. [tudelft.nl]
  • Current/OS Foundation

For whom

This e-Lunch Webinar is ideal for professionals, engineers, policymakers and anyone working on tomorrow's energy infrastructure.

Bio Harry Stokman

Harry Stokman is a Dutch electrical engineer, entrepreneur and internationally recognised pioneer in the field of direct current (DC).

Stokman grew up in an entrepreneurial family. His fascination with electrical engineering began at the age of 12, when he accidentally found a DC voltage source while cleaning a school attic. This moment marked the beginning of his lifelong interest in DC technology. He later took courses within electrical engineering (HTS-A and ETS).

Since 1988, he has been active as a DC power entrepreneur and has developed into one of the leading advocates of a global transition to DC power systems.

As KIVI Electrical Engineering, we recognise the enormous value of Harry Stokman's work.
With his early vision on DC power, his role in international standardisation and the development of Current/OS, he is making an essential contribution to safe, efficient and future-proof power systems. A true pioneer who accelerates the energy transition and takes technical innovation to the next level.
