SINTEF projects

The project will focus on dynamic airspace configurations (DAC) and dynamic mobile areas (DMA), which enable more flexible response to traffic demand and regional/local performance objectives.

BEST is SESAR Exploratory Research project focusing on a new way of data handling. By creating new data classification methodologies it will enable the application of System Wide Information Management (SWIM) one of the main results of SESAR.

EARTH focuses on separation and procedures to improve runway and airport throughput considering wake-vortex, weather, environment and noise, while taking into account future traffic demand, aircraft capability and airport configurations.

The MACROSEA project will target successful and predictable production of high quality biomass thereby making significant steps towards industrial macroalgae cultivation in Norway.

The Norwegian aquaculture industry has high accident numbers compared to other industries. There is a need for measures and systems that help improve safety and working conditions for workers.

The goal of the SmartPower project is to demonstrate the usefulness of modern optimisation methods for demand response applications in energy markets. To this end, we develop a prototype for optimised power matching/load balancing in large scale...

The aim of the project is to investigate how the company health services serves as an instrument to assist businesses and governments in preventive work environment.

The goal of the project is to systemise new knowledge in the form of modelling tools describing phenomena, mechanisms and alloy aspects that are critical for the development of Aluminium alloys with targeted properties based on continuous and semi...

SINTEF has started at cooperation with the company EVOLYS AS where the aim is to define the optimal light environment for microalgae production with focus on high value components like astaxanthin.

Different species of microalgae have different content of lipids and pigments. The species used in this study will be selected based on their chemical composition, to produce raw material for lotions and nutraceuticals for human consumption.

SINTEF is involved in projects concerning novel concepts and innovative solutions for ocean energy, such as DeepWind and FAROFF, supported by the European Union and the Research Council of Norway.

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.

As the extent of petroleum activities and the extraction of other resources in the Arctic increases, shipping can expect to face new challenges.

SINTEF has been a participant in the Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum Industry (SFI Centre), along with central partners in the petroleum sector.Ongoing for seven years the research program ended on 31.12.2014.

Risk reduction through climate adaptation of buildings and infrastructure

Overweight and obesity is a growing problem in Norway and in the rest of the world, and the expenses for the community related to obesity are big. Specialists feel that obesity patients often have little insight into their illness and health, and...

Helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland has been carrying out model tests in our ship-model tank in order to study emergency landings on water and helicopters’ subsequent seaworthiness. Very few test facilities anywhere in the world perform tests of...

SINTEF has been working for the past several years in research on the manoeuvring characteristics of submarines.
