SINTEF projects

Interdisciplinary research centre for technical and environmental development of hydro power, wind power, power line rights-of-way and implementation of environment and energy policy.

The discovery of porous hybrid materials constructed from inorganic nodes and organic multifunctional linkers has established a new area of inorganic-organic hybrids (Metal-Organic Frameworks, MOFs) with extraordinary performance as compared to...

EFFIPRO will develop electrolytes and electrodes for proton conducting fuel cells (PCFCs) based on novel LaNbO4-type and similar proton conducting oxides that, unlike earlier candidates, are chemically stable and mechanically robust. The transport of...

The main goal of the project HYPRO is to develop a hybrid manufacturing system by integration of additive manufacturing with conventional manufacturing technologies, such as milling, grinding and others, with the objective of competitive production...

Enabling universal and equitable access to healthcare for vulnerable people in resource poor settings in Africa.

The four year €3.5m project, called ADABTS or Automatic Detection of Abnormal Behaviour and Threats in crowded Spaces, was launched in August 2009, and is jointly funded by the European Commission and the partners involved who form an international...

It is essential for improving the existing units and processes, or developing new and more efficient ones, to have a thorough insight in the underlying physical behaviour of the fluid streams involved. Hence, fundamentals for multilevel modelling of...

The aim of this project was to build competence and knowledge regarding vulnerabilities related to the changing electric power system, especially due to new requirements and changing operating conditions, and thereby contribute to ensure an...

In the two-degree scenario (2DS) of the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2050, CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) will contribute to reducing the global CO₂ emissions by about 7 billion tonnes per year. In order to achieve this, it will be necessary...

Underwater video cameras are commonly used in the fish farming industry for inspecting the health and wellbeing of the fish, monitoring the feeding process, etc. However, for many applications it is desirable to do automatic analysis of the images...

The Norwegian oil company StatoilHydro has developed a new concept for an unmanned oil & gas platform. The platform should be equipped with intelligent and reliable robotic and instrumentation systems that enable a series of inspection and...

The main objective of the project was to realise the environmental benefits from full scale deployment of smart meters (AMS).

Current systems for automatic processing of salmon are not able to remove all bones from freshly slaughtered salmon. The pin bones are positioned in the thickest part of the fillets. The bones are attached to the flesh by tendons, and the fillet is...

To reduce the cost and improve the reliability in offshore wind farms is a critical issue with high R&D-efforts. Offshore wind energy produced far from shore (e.g. in the North Sea), and nearly all energy produced by new renewable energy sources...

The objective of the project is to develop novel temperature regulating fibres and innovative textile products for thermal management, selected by the SME segment of the textile industry in Europe.

The primary objective of the project was to enable large scale seamless integration of distributed generation in MV and LV networks.

The project focused on sports and leisure activities for elite athletes and recreational athletes from a health perspective and disabled travelers. The aim was to create more opportunities for people with functional reduction units so more people...

Since 2009 NOWITECH has developed 40 innovations in Offshore wind. NOWITECH was concluded as an FME by the end og 2017. NOWITECH is now continued as a research network.
