HydroCen
HydroCen is a research center for renewable energy.
LORCENIS – Long Lasting Reinforced Concrete for Energy Infrastructure under Severe Operating Conditions
The main goal of the LORCENIS project is to develop long lasting reinforced concrete for energy infrastructures under extreme operating conditions.
MonitorX
The main objective for the MonitorX project is to develop a model, and an additional software prototype, for optimal utilization of the lifetime of a component in a hydropower plant.
SNOWHOW
Snow conditions have an important impact on nature and human society. In Norway, one third of the annual precipitation falls as snow and snow information is important economically (hydropower), for infrastructure (construction safety and transport...
Day-Ahead Bidding with Multiple Short-Term Markets (MultiSharm)
This project aims at learning how hydropower producers should bid in day-ahead markets that are integrated in a sequence of balancing markets.
Models for Aggregation and Disaggregation - MAD
The players in the Nordic power market, i.e. producers, transmission system operators and regulators use computer models to plan for the best possible utilization of the system and energy resources. Calculation of the operation strategy for hydro...
Integrating Balancing Markets in Hydropower Scheduling Methods
The future European electricity system will be more integrated cross-borders and will include a larger share of renewable intermittent generation than what is the case today.
Techno-economical decision tool for maintenance of power transformers
SINTEF Energy Research is currently carrying out a research project on condition assessment of power transformers for ten of the major power, transmission and distribution companies in Norway.
The stochastic short-term model SHARM
The goal of the "Validation of the SHARM model" project is to facilitate implementation of the SHARM (Short-term Hydropower Application with Risk Modelling) model in the hydropower industry.
SOVN - A new fundamental market model - Including individual water values and power flow constraints
New stochastic optimisation model for Scandinavia In future, the Scandinavian power supply system will have closer connections with Europe and an increasing proportion of uncontrollable renewable generation from, for example, wind and unregulated...
HydroBalance
Norwegian hydropower reservoirs offer the possibility for balancing the growing wind power production in Europe.
FutureHydro
The overall objective of FutureHydro is to promote bilateral exchange of knowledge, technology and experience between Norway and China and enlarge the scientific knowledge regarding the use of hydropower and pump-storage as a battery to balance...
Improved development and management of energy and water resources - EcoManage
The main objective of EcoManage is to test, evaluate and adapt new concepts and indicators for the improved development and management of energy and water resources.
CEDREN - Centre for Environmental Design of Renewable Energy
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.
Effects of rapid and frequent flow changes – EnviPEAK
More flexible operation of hydropower systems could lead to more frequent and rapid changes in water flow.
Future hydropower design – HydroPEAK
Tinfos power plant; hydropower reservoirs in Norway represent a great potential for a future European power system.
How to combine environmental and energy policy concerns? – GOVREP
GOVREP will produce policy recommendations for sustainable electricity production.
