...design process. Traditional design relies on the designer's creativity, experience, and education for the generation of a single design idea. Current computational resources and methods, the availability of big data, and novel manufacturing technologies enhance the traditional design paradigm dramatically...
...optimisation technology facilitates better planning and management in health care organisations. The impact is ease of planning, high quality of care, and efficient use of critical resources. SINTEF develops health care planning software based on mathematics and state-of-the-art optimisation methods. For more...
When light interacts with matter, its behaviour varies across different wavelengths depending on the material’s physical and chemical properties. Spectroscopy involves measuring these wavelength-dependent interactions—the spectral response—to gain insight into attributes such as chemical composition...
...environments, and they are being eaten by small animals. Microalgae contain interesting components which can be used in e.g. aquafeed, cosmetics or nutraceuticals. Microalgae may also be used for water remediation or to reuse resources from waste streams, in line with circular economy and resource remediation...
...operational interaction between DSOs and TSOs needs to be strengthened, due to, e.g., more variable distributed generation (DG) and regulatory requirements. In grids where the volume of DG is increasing, more active monitoring and control are required. The DSO's role is changing and its future role has to be clarified...
...has extensive experience in the development and use of numerical models for simulation of chemical reactive processes in laminar and turbulent flow for both single- (gas combustion) and multi-phase (gas/solid fuel) systems. We combine numerical modelling and experimental research with the aim of achieving...
...systems has been commercialized so far are heat pump water heaters (heat pumps for heating of sanitary water), refrigeration systems for supermarkets and within small size commercial refrigeration. SINTEF-NTNU initiated this development in the end of the 1980s. More than 4 million systems are installed...
SINTEF Energy Research has expertise in studying physical conditions in reservoirs. Studies are based on data analysis and/or the use of numerical modelling to elucidate the consequences of hydropower operation patterns in reservoirs. SINTEF Energy Research has participated in several CEDREN projects...
...developing and executing projects related to oil/gas/water separation relevant for electrocoalescence separation, the liquefaction processes of natural gas, and developing potential studies related to subsea technology. Our services assist the industry in providing detailed experiments and models in order...
Sound signals such as speech and music carry important and desired information in our everyday lives. Communication acoustics deals with the transmission, reception, and processing of such sounds. In addition to a thorough understanding of sound propagation, electronics, and signal processing, understanding...
...solutions for 2D and 3D imaging systems. Our focus is on designing optics that deliver high-quality image data tailored to the specific requirements of each application. This includes tasks such as illumination design, wavelength and filter selection, optical geometry optimization, and in-depth camera...
...of safety culture, work processes and decicion-making processes in public and private organizations. SINTEF develops knowledge, methods and tools within this area. Our work is research-based. We build on knowledge about how organizational culture, human interaction and worker involvement are critical factors...
...of the System Safety group holds a PhD degree within telecommunications. Due to the educational background and long-time experience with safety assessment services within the railway and oil and gas sectors, the following research areas are of particular interest to the System Safety group: Safety – security...
...as Independent Safety Assessor (ISA), Notified Body (NoBo), Assessment Body (AsBo) and Designated Body (DeBo) a number of international standards, rules and regulations. In depth knowledge of these standards, rules and regulations is vital not only to SINTEF as an assessment/certification body, but equally...
Barriers are planned measures to regain control, prevent defined situations of hazards and accidents to develop, or limit consequences of unwanted situations. Barrier management consists of the activities that need to be carried out to make sure that barriers perform their intended function at all times...
Biomass is the only renewable carbon source and can therefore be used for production of renewable fuels and chemicals. Biofuels are foreseen as a promising alternative to today's fossil fuels, given their potential to substitute fossil fuels in the existing energy supply infrastructure. In contrast,...
...standards. With their cross-disciplinary competences and having made a profession of studying new physical phenomena, SINTEF researchers are well prepared to see through unusual failure mechanisms. SINTEF Industry has competence in the following fields: Optic and electronic microscopy (SEM,STMEPMA, TEM, EBSD...
...renewable energy sources with variable and unpredictable production. At the same time, roughly half of the world's energy need is in the form of thermal energy – heating, cooling or steam. Thermal energy storage therefore has a key role in securing a stable and cost-effective energy supply in the future...
We need knowledge to solve the challenges related to marine littering and pollution. SINTEF Center for Clean Ocean Research is working to increase knowledge about and prevent the spreading and environmental consequences of microplastic in the World's oceans. Read more about plastics in the ocean....
Accidental release and leakage of CO2 from pipelines, wells or reservoirs within the CCS value chain is of concern to both safety and environment. The Flow Technology group at SINTEF Industry has developed a mathematical model to assess how the resulting bubble plume behaves in the water column and how it potentially...
