SINTEF projects

IPN Freki aims to develop a data-driven process for the pre-qualification of frequency containment reserves (FCR).

NextGrid aims to develop solutions for the future operation of the power grid. In this project, grid companies' operations centres are being prepared for a future where the operation of the distribution grid is more complex and automated.

FORSEL will develop tools and methodologies that will help Norwegian grid companies to utilize the opportunities for flexibility in the power grid and make good choices when it comes to future load and the connection of new electricity customers to...

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...

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

How to integrate local energy communities (LECs) in a flexible way into Norway’s electricity distribution grid?

The primary goal of the project is to develop a sensor suite and algorithms that will enable the detection and classification of critical faults – those that can cause power outages – even in poor visibility conditions.

KoBas aims to develop predictive models for volume and price in the regulating power market, with associated outcomes. Predictions in these markets will create value, both on their own and in combination with existing decision support tools.

The aim of the FuChar project is to minimise investment and operating costs related to the grid integration of electric transport, with a focus on high-power charging.

PANTERA (PAN European Technology Energy Research Approach) is a EU H2020 project aimed at setting up a European forum composed of Research & Innovation stakeholders active in the fields of smart grids, storage and local energy systems, including...

The smart energy ecosystem constitutes the next technological leap of the conventional electrical grid.

Grid Interconnection protocols for largely dispersed minigrids/microgrids for electrification of rural India

In a future sustainable power system there will be large shares of renewable generation, but also more changes in consumption and more cross-border transmission. Thus, the operation of the power system becomes more challenging, and calls for better...

Future power systems are facing new challenges when traditional thermal generation units are replaced by renewable energy sources with power electronic grid interfaces.

The project har developed an automatic event analysis software(AHA).
