...sources (RES) and sector coupling (e.g. integrating heat and power). Decision makers need to apply more complex models and to better account for uncertainty, often stemming from the non-dispatchable nature of important RES. While solution techniques for stochastic programs are available and demonstated...

This white paper provides an overview of Resilience Engineering and seeks to answer the following questions: • What is Resilience Engineering? • Why do we need Resilience Engineering in integrated operations? • What is the significance of performance variability? • How does Resilience Engineering work...

...utilize mobile robots and new technology in sensors and AI to give increased value in breeding/phenotyping? Intro and scope: -Brief intro to SINTEF and NMBU -Mobile sensing – success stories from other domains -Scope: close-up sensing for berry phenotyping -Technology overview and background Technology...

This thesis investigated in situ oil depletion in temperate and Arctic seawater, focusing on how seasonal and locational changes influence biodegradation, photooxidation, and dissolution. Field trials in Trondheim, Vesterålen, and Svalbard used three oils deployed as thin films on Fluortex fabrics; a...

...established by the META project and addresses the implementation of the GS1-defined Transport Status transaction which is implemented by means of two messages: Transport Status Request and Transport Status Notification. These messages support status reporting on transport instructions and associated transport operation...

This research project is a study of the nature of abuse, violence and neglect against women with disabilities in Malawi. The childhood as well as the present situation of 23 women with disabilities in Blantyre district is described. Data was collected in two ways: a) Through in-depth individual interviews...

...best general process metamodel. Two candidate standards are SPEM (of OMG) and SMSDM (of ISO/IEC). This paper studies each of these metamodels with respect to model-driven development (MDD), evaluating their domain appropriateness and comprehensibility appropriateness. The conclusion is that both metamodels...

...their land-based counterparts. Among other issues, this cost discrepancy is in large part due to the increased turbine size, complexity, installation and connection to shore over long distances. It is then clear that costs have to be reduced significantly to facilitate offshore wind development. Hence...

...socioeconomic and environmental impacts of policies and instruments and, thus, support public and private decision makers. This report discusses aspects of scenario definition and indicator set development in the context of such modeling. A first case study is concerned with green transition and regional...

...tools for analysing operation and expansion of local energy systems and is written WP5 in the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN). WP5 in FME ZEN aims to develop and apply methodologies that identify the socio-economic optimal operation and expansion of energy systems...

...performed at S°C and 13°C in SINTEFs laboratory. The data are used as input for SINTEF's Oil Weathering Model (OWM} to predict the properties and behaviour of Vale crude oil in a spill situation at sea. The weathering properties are discussed related to oil spill response; mechanical recovery and chemical dispersion...

...language CVL (Common Variability Language) that works with any other language defined by a metamodel. CVL models specify both variabilities and resolutions of these, and by executing a CVL model the base product line model is transformed into a specific product model. Our CVL tool is a generic tool in the...

...history of increased dyspnoea and a cough productive of green sputum. Her medical history was significant for severe idiopathic scoliosis, cleft palate repair, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. She was obtunded on presentation and required 24 hours of mechanical...
