Thomas Gsell, Technical Manager for Low Voltage Compensation at ALSTOM Grid, graduated as Power Electronics
Engineer in 1992. He founded the Jessler & Gsell GmbH, one of the world pioneer in the development and
manufacturing of Shunt Active Harmonics Filters. The company was later purchased by Nokian Capacitors which
now belongs to ALSTOM Grid. Gsell is also a lecturer at his alma mater, the University of Applied Science in
Konstanz, Germany.
