...produced water and oil droplets. The PWC-Arctic project endeavors to assess the potential environmental impact of oil exploration in the High North by quantifying the uptake and excretion kinetics of selected produced water components and oil droplets and their effects on growth, development and reproduction...

Selv ved elfiske på lave vannføringer har ungfisktettheten ofte vært lav. Den mest nærliggende faktoren til å forklare den dårlige utviklingen i ungfiskbestanden er dårlig vannkvalitet, men tap av fisk ved stranding under raske nedtappinger av vannmengden gjennom kraftverket kan ikke utelukkes. På strekningen...

...extensive use of ICT in the power system, enabling increased flexibility and functionality and thereby meeting future demands and strategic goals. Consequently, power system reliability will increasingly depend on ICT components and systems. While adding functionality, ICT systems also contribute to failures...

...vulnerabilities and more. We agree with Gibson-Graham (2006) that the core of the issue for a post-capitalist politics is to overcome the sense of the inevitability of the dominant system of political economy. With this argument in mind, we analyse the diversity, innovativeness, and resilience of two...

Fruits and berries require due to their perishable nature specific storage conditions. During harvest season, products are stored in large quantities within the storage, resulting in high peak power requirements of the refrigeration system to maintain the setpoint temperature. Furthermore, the energy...

...industry is an important part of safe and sustainable growth in Europe. Sustainable and flexible tools in the energy sector can bring benefits for quality assurance of the produced goods. This paper takes a closer look at combining such concepts as digital twins and demand response to optimize the use...

However, electrification using inefficient heating technologies and without improvements in buildings’ energy efficiency can considerably increase the strain on the power grid and limit the decarbonization of other sectors, such as transport and industry. This study focuses on Norway, where direct electric...

Developing cost-efficient systems for transporting CO₂ is key to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture and storage. The present work explores the impact of reducing the pressure of tank-based inland and at-sea transport on their techno-economic performance. The study uses established techno-economic models...

The study proposes two types of BNs to infer probabilities of variables of existing buildings. The first BN is based on conditional probability tables and associations between global building variables. The second builds on this with detailed structural load variables via engineering equations from historical...
