Electrotechnical laboratories
SINTEF Energy Research operates laboratories for high voltage, high power and climatic testing. Customers are manufacturers, suppliers and users of electric power equipment.
Laboratories
All our labs have designated contact persons. SINTEF builds and operates important research infrastructure and we have over 100 laboratories that form the basis for our research. From zero-emission buildings, to ocean basins, nano, CO2, electrical engineering and full-scale aquaculture sites - world-leading laboratories, from ocean space to outer space.
Marine Cybernetics Laboratory
The Marine Cybernetics Laboratory is a wave basin, especially suited for tests of marine control systems, due to the relatively small size and advanced instrumentation package. It is also suitable for more specialized hydrodynamic tests (for example...
Marine Structures Laboratory
Main activities include testing of marine structures, structural components, and materials, with a particular focus on offshore slender structures including flexibles, umbilicals, and subsea cables. Typical tests involve fatigue testing, ultimate...
Model Production
The models to be tested in the hydrodynamic laboratories at SINTEF Ocean are manufactured in our engineering workshop. In production of both hull- and propeller models, high accuracy and use of skilled experienced people are of the utmost importance.
Ocean laboratory
The Ocean Basin is a cutting-edge facility designed for hydrodynamic model testing of ships and marine structures and full-scale hydrodynamic testing of components such as electric cables.
SINTEF Energy Lab
– a vital tool for energy research in Norway
Smart Grid Laboratory
NTNU and SINTEF have built a new National Smart Grid Laboratory in Trondheim with funding from the Research Council of Norway in cooperation with the Artic University of Norway and Smart Innovation Østfold.
Towing Tank
The Towing Tank is designed for hydrodynamic scaled-model testing of ships and marine structures.
