Renset
/ Portable Renewable Power
Role  - Industrial Design Engineer
Responsibilities - Concept design, rendering visualisation, design for manufacturing, brand design

Summary_


Renset is a state of the art power station designed with the build proessional in mind.

As an industrial design engineer at Renset, I worked on the development of the portable power station from moodboards and concept sketches to the first manufacturing series together with our production partner.

Alongside the design engineering, I developed the Renset brand with a new logo, website, photography and product visualisations.


Usage Storyboard_

At the start of the project, the use case had already been validated.The Renset would function as a portable power station designed to fit inside a standard van and be easily loaded by two people. It should be maneuverable by a single person and capable of powering their activities throughout the day. The swappable battery modules ensure a full day of reliable power.



Concept design_


When I started at Renset, the mission was clear. Within a year we would go from a first prototype to a completely custom enclosure for the Renset power station and it’s swappable batteries.

I created several visual directions and worked on the mechanical design engineering to reach an IP-54 rating for waterproof swappable batteries and the Renset enclosure. 



Look and Feel_

For the Renset Powerstation and Battery Modules, we set out to create a design that resonates with construction professionals. The design aimed to be rugged, durable, and high-tech. The goal was to make the Renset a product users feel proud to own and rely on every day. Because the enclosures are produced through rotational moulding, we placed emphasis on surface texture. Thoughtfully designed textures add depth, visual interest, and functional distinction across surfaces, despite the single-material construction.





Prototype development_

We did prototyping from small scale to full 1:1 scale using technologies such as FDM and MJF-printing, as well as sheet metal cutting and aluminium tube bending.

At Infratech 2025 we presented a full scale model done in foam and post-processed in our workshop at YES!Delft. This prototype served as a final validation for the manufacturing design of which we delivered the production drawings at the end of 2024 to our Asian production partner.

In the summer of 2025 the first manufactured series arrived in Delft, after which I had left the Renset team to pursue a different role.
