SINTEF projects

The increasing market of the electric vehicles and the growing importance of renewable energy sources calls for next generation high efficiency batteries.

With ZeroKyst, we will strengthen Norwegian value creation and export through green growth. The project will demonstrate that both new and existing vessels in the seafood industry can be emission free and contribute to decreasing emissions from...

The CORE project aims at developing cost-efficient polymer-based conductive coatings that will prevent corrosion of metallic bipolar plates and increase the lifetime of PEM fuel cells and electrolysers.

PRESAV will develop various predictive control strategies for active heat storage accounting for electricity price, district heating price, weather forecast (especially solar irradiance and outdoor temperature) and local heat demand in buildings with...

Optimizing marine battery operations using 6 years’ operational data from two commercially operating vessels.

The goal of Allotherm is to discover and realize new alloy systems with superior thermoelectric (TE) properties to dramatically enhance TE waste heat harvesting.

The concept of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) has increasingly been integrated into the climate neutrality discourse. PEDs have also been purported to hold the key to transform the urban energy system and to be an important pillar of smart cities.

BaSS aims to facilitate that battery energy storage systems (BESS) become an alternative to grid reinforcement for voltage challenges, when this is the most socio-economically rational solution. Several different services for voltage support may be...

Energy-efficient climate control of a greenhouse for increased productivity

Fish on their downstream migration in rivers often encounter hydropower dams and intakes and tend to follow the main flow into the turbines where they may be injured or killed. While fine-meshed racks with a bypass can prevent fish from entering...

Electrification of the transport sector, fish farming facilities, the petroleum industry, etc. will cause increased and more complex electrical loads on the grid.

IMPACT (Innovative Methods for Wave Energy Pathways Acceleration through Novel Criteria and Test Rigs) was a European project for the development and demonstration of a next-generation testing approach for Wave Energy Converters (WECs).

The GreenEST project aims to develop state-of-art charging stations for electric transportation (cars, busses) consisting of innovative light-weight PV panels coupled with grids and batteries.

The aim of Nordic Energy Outlooks is to: “Strengthen Nordic research competence and cooperation in the field of energy systems analysis, by building on existing national research programs” [Nordic Energy Research]

This project considers the energy system of offshore oil and gas installations with the aim to contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions by using variable wind power together with flexibility in energy usage and energy storage.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) targets 50% lower annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from maritime transport by 2050 compared to 2008, and even pursues efforts towards phasing them out entirely. The challenge is to substantially...

Power transmission is today facilitated by underground cables and overhead lines. For long distances or high power transmission, extra high voltages are normally used. The highest voltage level in Norway is 420 000 volts which is almost 2000 times...

The energy grid is changing, and in the coming years, large sums will be invested to fully electrify society.
