SINTEF has a long history with the use of dynamic modelling and simulation of thermal systems. Further, SINTEF has developed a framework for dynamic optimization of thermal systems with thermal storage.
We work within these areas:
- Modelling of thermal systems for optimal design of the system as a whole.
- Exploitation of local waste heat
- Selection of technology and sizing of individual components, such as thermal energy storage and heat pumps
- Optimal control of systems with thermal energy storage
Typical projects are:
Design energy efficient and competitive system solutions with a holistic approach
- Develop new concepts to solve specific issues
- Analysis, evaluation and comparisons of technological options and concepts
- Experimental testing and development of new technologies for single components
The methods we use:
We have advanced in-house models for i. a.
- Optimal control of complex thermal systems
- Dynamic system simulation
- Detailed component models.
