SINTEF has expertise in Julia programming and publishes several open source Julia packages developed in-house. We use Julia for projects where high performance and fast turnaround time is critical...
ICT solutions for smart cities are large and long-lived systems-of-systems. These are complex solutions with many actors and many heterogeneous systems involved. The systems involved must adapt both to different situations and to a totality that will emerge over time. To cope with these challenges, the...
...computing devices in all shapes and sizes. These devices range from recommender systems, predictive maintenance systems, and digital twins, to autonomous vehicles, robots, and more intuitive and predictive interfaces with our personal devices such as tablets, mobile phones and smartwatches. As AI technology...
...high voltage apparatuses are very attractive, especially for new and high-power demand applications when placed in locations which are difficult to access and in harsh environments. Applications include offshore wind farms, subsea grid and equipment located in the Arctic. Failure of such apparatuses may...
...high monetary and environmental costs of running vessels means that even small gains in efficiency can mean huge savings. Maritime inventory routing means planning for transportation of bulk goods by ship between ports where the goods are produced and consumed, while avoiding stockouts and storage overflows...
The amount of demand response and distribution generation from renewable energy sources will increase in the future distribution grid, at the same time as the grid should be robust and reliable. ICT technology will to a larger scale monitor and control the grid. In the future distribution grid, the energy...
...based planning tools give large benefits to economy and the environment. The first transportation optimization application area studied at SINTEF was road-based goods transportation. Since 1995, SINTEF has developed models, algorithms, prototypes, and industrial software through various types of R&D projects...
...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...
...experience, and advanced equipment measurements and analysing greenhouse gas emissions related to hydropower production. There is a growing need to document greenhouse gas emissions of CO₂ and methane. This need is particularly relevant for national-level greenhouse gas inventories and for climate and sustainability...
...efficiency, and environmental impact of the transport system. SINTEF conducts research on road user behaviour (i.e., how we travel, what we do, to what degree we experience safety, and which skills and properties are important to ensure safe travels). Central to this understanding is the interaction and dynamics...
...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...
...to minimise non productive time during drilling. SINTEF provides rock mechanics knowledge and tools for selecting a safe mud weight and optimal well path. Over the last 30 years, SINTEF has developed knowledge and tools towards the improvement of borehole stability: Methods for characterization of shales...
To realize the prospected growth in salmon aquaculture, new technologies and methods are needed to develop effective waste handling and effective feed-loops. Salmon aquaculture is based on the use of high-quality fish feed, and although being an efficient food production method, it is estimated that...
Tomorrow’s electrical power system must be able to handle greater variations in power and energy flows, as well as the introduction of new smart components and technologies. This means that both the power system itself, and its operation, are in a state of change, at the same time as the impact of climate...
The facilities can be adapted to test and validate a variety of flow components, instrumentation and equipment. Normal instrumentation is a wide range of flow meters, pressuretransducers for pressure gradient measurements, temperature probes and gamma densitometers for holdup measurements. In addition...
...of the power system. Examples include the integration of electricity derived from renewable sources, industrial and household loads, HVDC transmission and the electrification of the oil and gas sector. Growth in the importance of reliable energy conversion components to society as a whole is thus on the...
...planning and monitoring the operation itself and being a tool for making near-future predictions to identify possible dangers as a means of reducing operational risk. Complex marine operations require high real-time situational awareness and monitoring to carry out the mission in a safe and energy-efficient...
SINTEF do research and develop solutions for new and improved ultrasound imaging in connection with the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of clinical applications, such as neurosurgery, laparoscopic surgery, endovascular procedures, bronchoscopy, bone and MR-guided focused ultrasound treatment. We...
The green shift poses challenges to the power grid. Decentralized small scale renewable energy production have a fluctuating and uncontrollable nature, and battery powered electric vehicles requiring regular recharging may cause problematic peak loads. The green shift poses challenges to the power grid...
