SINTEF projects

Good condition and lifetime data is necessary as basis for estimating remaining lifetime and failure probability for power system components.

The future power system will be highly complex due to the integration of renewables and realization of smart grids.

SusGrid is an interdisciplinary research project focusing on how knowledge of economic, social and environmental interests can provide good and predictable processes related to formal processing of grid development projects.

Electric vehicles with fuel cells that run on hydrogen are one among several sustainable supplements to fossil fuels enabling the same convenient transportation as today. European project H2moves Scandinavia sets out to gain customer acceptance for...

Smart metering technology has a great potential to achieve cost-efficient energy savings, and its effective use is crucial in achieving the 2016 and 2020 energy efficiency targets in Europe. Moreover, smart meters play an important role in smart...

Small scale stationary Combined Heat and Power (µ-CHP) generation is foreseen as a significant future market for fuel cells. Among the fuel cell types, the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) technology is by far dominating the small scale...

The main objective of the NEXPEL project, a successful demonstration of an efficient PEM electrolyser integrated with Renewable Energy Sources, supports the overall vision to establish hydrogen as an energy carrier in a large range of applications in...

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.

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 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...

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

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

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.

Enabling sustainable power generation from fossil fuels based on cost-effektive CO₂ capture, and safe transport and underground storage of CO₂

For many years, offshore oil and gas production from the Norwegian continental shelf has led the industry to use innovative subsea technology combined with long distance multiphase transport.

The main objective of the project is to increase the knowledge concerning the electricity demand for end-users such as household customers. This includes knowledge concerning both the total energy demand [kWh] and power demand [kWh/h] for the...

For many years, offshore oil and gas production from the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) has led the industry to use innovative subsea technology combined with long distance multiphase transport.
