SINTEF projects

Scalable, Plug & Play and Modular DC Power Systems for low-emission Large Vessels

The project aims to increase the capacity of Norway's power grid by optimizing the utilization of existing cables through dynamic capacity calculations and real-time monitoring.

This project is working on new insulation liquids for transformers that can be safer, more sustainable, and better at cooling.

ELOXYCHEM will establish a electrochemical oxidation process that will replace existing thermochemical processes that are reliant on imported materials such as nitric acid and imported fossil-fuels.

MISSION will develop and demonstrate three new SF₆-free switchgear components for medium and high voltage (MV and HV).

REWARD will develop new knowledge about what limits the lifespan of cables with new eco-friendly insulation and relevant test methods to ensure high reliability during operations.

In the next 20 years, regional market growth and a greater demand for lower emissions will push regional aviation towards innovative solutions to decarbonise the sector.

The goal of the NewLifT project is to establish knowledge and decision-making support for manufacturers and users of power transformers and facilitate introduction of new transformer insulting liquids (TILs).

Tapping into Norwegian offshore territories for clean offshore wind power requires the massive deployment of subsea power transmission infrastructure to reliably transport the energy to shore with minimum losses.

To achieve the goals set out in the Green Deal, large scale electrification of society will be needed.

DYNABIC's goal is to increase the resilience and business continuity capabilities of European critical services in the face of advanced cyber-physical threats.

The EU project SCARLET (Superconducting cables for sustainable energy transition) develops and industrially manufactures superconducting cable systems at the gigawatt level, bringing them to the last qualification step before a commercial...

COASTAL project seeks to mitigate the negative effects of harmful algal blooms (HABs) by developing novel miniaturized sensing screening tools for rapid and sensitive detection of Paralytic Shellfish Toxins (PSTs). Successful implementation of the...

Nexans Norway, together with research partners, aim to develop the next generation lead-free power cables. In the FutureCaRe project, we will perform testing and develop modelling tools to secure high reliability and long lifetime of lead-free “wet...

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

In DeMoKab, the objective is to investigate how the insulation materials currently used in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables withstand temporary overvoltages that may occur in future power grids.

Medium-voltage (MV, 1-52 kV) gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) are key components in primary and secondary distribution networks.

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).
