Troms Kraft

Troms Kraft is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Troms Kraft rather than just read about it. In short: Troms Kraft is a power company that operates twelve hydroelectric power plants and the power grid in fifteen municipalities in Troms, Norway. The retail division has 100,000 customers and traded 5 TWh of electricity in 2006, in addition to 40 GWh of district heating.

Key takeaways

Troms Kraft belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Troms Kraft to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Troms Kraft from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Troms Kraft is a power company that operates twelve hydroelectric power plants and the power grid in fifteen municipalities in Troms, Norway. The retail division has 100,000 customers and traded 5 TWh of electricity in 2006, in addition to 40 GWh of district heating. Upon demerger on 1 January 2009, parts of Troms Kraft Marked AS were merged with Ishavskraft AS; Troms Kraft AS owns 50% of Ishavskraft AS. The company operates a fiberoptic broadband service in Tromsø. The company is also planning to construct Fakken windfarm. Semming Semmingsen has held the role of CEO since June 2012.

Subsidiaries The subsidiaries of the company, includes Kraft & Kultur AB.

Court case On 22 November 2011, Troms Kraft announced that discrepancies had been discovered in the accounts of the subsidiary Kraft & Kultur in Sweden of between 1.2 and 1.8 billion Swedish kronor. The case is being investigated by the Swedish Economic Crime Authority (Økokrim) and the former leader of Kraft & Kultur was remanded in custody. In May 2012, an auditor's report concluded that the company's revenues had been inflated by approx. NOK 1.5 billion by means of accounting manipulation. In September 2013, an investigation report was presented which had taken two years to prepare, which concluded that the loss could have been avoided.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Troms Kraft

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Troms Kraft claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Troms Kraft before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Troms Kraft ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Troms Kraft

In research: Troms Kraft appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Troms Kraft in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Troms Kraft is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Companies based in Tromsø, County-owned companies of Norway, Electric power companies of Norway, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Troms Kraft outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
