SINTEF projects

Solving engineering challenges in global response analysis of subsea pipelines, umbilicals and power cables.

The focus of ANALYST is the combination of LR B-spline methods and AI addressing big data sets with a mathematical structure.

OXIPATH is a strategic effort initiated by SINTEF Industry with the aim to address key technological issues related to oxide materials applied in three fast growing technology areas: piezoelectric devices, batteries and thermoelectric devices.

Stator winding insulation is the part of the hydrogenerator experiencing the highest number and the most damaging failures followed by long down times, costly repairs and large economic losses due to interrupted generation.

FerroCool is an experimental project that will investigate ferrofluid heat transfer. It is an early step towards realizing a novel, efficient and reliable cooling concept that uses magnetic nanofluids.

The project has a large potential for improving the transmission system's asset management by optimizing decisions on maintenance and reinvestments using developments in information and communication technology (ICT) and existing business specific...

This project would investigate how smart grid technology can be utilized in the electric distribution grid to reduce interruptions in the electricity supply and socio-economic costs of interruptions.

Society is crucially dependent on an adequate level of security of electricity supply. This imposes requirements for the planning and operation of modern power systems.

Several severe and costly service failures have occurred in the last years in the Norwegian distribution network due to local overheating in power cables.

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.

A project leading to increased sustainability of the WtE value chain. Optimum secondary combustion chamber through advanced CFD modelling.

Reliability and Ruggedness of High Power, High Voltage Power Electronics

Transmission for sustainability

Smart tariffs for energy and grid in the future active distribution grid.

The aim of the IRPWIND is to foster better integration of European research activities in the field of wind energy research with the aim of accelerating the transition towards a low-carbon economy and maintain and increase European competitiveness.

Development of New and Modification of Proposed Electrical Insulation Materials.Both well established and new, promising electrical insulating materials are tested, and further modified to change morphology and intrinsic properties.

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 project NanoHX is about investigating ways of making circulating fluid cooling more efficient and reliable by using magnetic nanofluids.
