SINTEF projects

KRAV is a research project within combined heat and power production from biomass.

Power grids consist of large and small components with different criticality. It is challenging to determine the appropriate time for maintenance and renewal of the components. Methods and tools are developed to help utility companies to determine.

In this project, Volvo Technology will in close cooperation with SINTEF provide R&D support for PowerCell for further technology development. This collaboration is based on Volvo Technology’s PEM fuel cell stack development and SINTEF’s experience...

The main objective of the project was to design the scientific foundation for a framework for efficient, market-based balancing of power systems that can be implemented in multinational (‘regional’ in the wording of the European Commission) power...

BIGCO2 aimed at developing sustainable power generation technologies based on CO₂ capture and safe underground storage.

The objective of the PQM project was to develop a new concept for power quality and reliability measurement and management. This should be done by developing and evaluating new and existing methods for measuring and handling large amounts of power...

The project was targeted towards industrial value creation. The project was timely since the international development was at its very beginning and Norwegian offshore and energy industry had a competitive advantage

The subject of this project is development and qualification of a new concept of power exchange interface between transport vessels, using diesel or gas turbine electric propulsion, and harbour terminals.

Asset management is a relatively new concept for electricity distribution companies in Norway. The concept is gaining momentum as a way to cope maintenance and renewal of a generally aging infrastructure under increasing requirements from various...

The main objective was to develop a cost-effective maintenance system for wind farms, and to establish a foundation for making the right decisions in terms of reliability, operation and maintenance when new wind farms are to be specified. Knowledge...

The main objective of this project was to provide decision support for introduction of Hydrogen as energy carrier in the Norwegian energy system.

The project aimed at developing novel overall solutions to minimise consequences and costs related to major challenges for the future distribution networks:

The main objective of this project is to enhance the understanding and knowledge in the field of thermal effects in PEFCs.

Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems are an energy efficient technology for heating and cooling of non-residential buildings. Ground source is a relatively high and stable heat source tempe­rature that enables a considerable share of the cooling...

ELCOM-90 is an efficient tool for data communication between control centres as well as for communication between substations and control centres.

The Energy Planning Toolbox was created to support and guide the process of planning local energy systems with multiple energy carriers: electricity, gas, hot water, etc.

Energy EFFiciency and LOad curve impacts of COMmercial Development in competitive markets

The aim of this project is to develop practical and targeted strategies with the emphasis on personal safety and finances, decision criteria, and simple tools, all with a view to optimal grid management (maintenance and renewal). This will include...
