SINTEF and NTNU have developed a new method for agile programming named SafeScrum. The method will be further developed in the next years. Read more: SafeScrum...

...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...

...meant a lot for Norwegian industry and Norway's welfare. From hydropower inroads until today there has been a significant development in the analysis of impacts of hydropower development. SINTEF has for decades participated in this development through research and are constantly seeking answers to new...

...the surface of the skin and deep into the body. It can be compared with the GPS in a car. It makes surgery safer and in many cases less invasive. By connecting the CT or MR images taken before surgery, with the patient during surgery, the surgeon can plan the operation better and avoid damaging important...

...oil discharges happen and need quick and adequate response in order to reduce the environmental consequences. SINTEF has developed solution-oriented competence within oil spill contingency which is nationally and international demanded. A good understanding of the physical and chemical properties of...

Seaweed faming captures large CO₂-amounts and by replacing products from feedstocks with big climate footprint the overall CO₂ emissions may be reduced. However, we also need to remove CO₂ from the biosphere and for that we develop nature-based climate solutions and climate positive products that ensure...

...35 years of multiphase flow and flow assurance research, combined with outstanding experimental facilities and the combined competence of SINTEF, put us in a prime position to assist in field development studies. New specific knowledge can be obtained through tailored experimental campaigns. This knowledge...

...electricity production levels and prices are determined via a market statement based on supply and demand bids provided by electricity producers and suppliers, and the major electricity consumers. In the case of electricity producers, an effective bidding strategy requires a thorough and comprehensive analysis...

Thermal systems are comprised of components for heat and/or cold production, distribution, consumption and storage. A thermal system can be a local heating or cooling network for a construction area, or an industrial heat or cooling grid for distribution of thermal energy in a factory or between different...

...(IGA) is to improve the interoperability between design, i.e., Computer Aided Design (CAD) and analysis, i.e., Finite Element Method (FEM). To achieve this IGA use CAD mathematical primitives, i.e., splines and NURBS, to represent both the finite element (FE) geometry as well as the Partial Differential...

Open-source software is ubiquitous and is driving the current digital revolution. At SINTEF, we view the use of open-source software as the most effective means to expedite innovation and technology transfer within computational methods from academia to industry Digitalization often emphasizes data accessibility...

...demonstration and scale up of advanced reactor concepts for decarbonization of the industrial and energy sectors. The investigated technologies cover adsorption-based CO₂ capture, chemical looping for power and hydrogen production with integrated CO₂ capture, and pyrolysis for combined hydrogen and carbon production...

...nanotechnology to prevent, diagnose and treat illness. SINTEF collaborates with industry and research organisations to develop nanomedicines for hard-to-treat diseases ranging from cancer to severe infections. We formulate and encapsulate drugs for efficient delivery and optimal effect, offer advanced characterization...

...closely, and there exists a common market for balancing services during operations. Different market models are developed for this market based on a physical description of the production, transmission and consumption, as well as costs. The models utilize expertise within production planning and operation...

Drying is one of the oldest and most used processes in humankind and enables e.g. to store food over longer periods of time. The main reason for drying is to extend the shelf life of a product and to stabilize the ingrediencies with a high quality. Most of our food products which can be found in a supermarket...

...representing and storing the entities according to such definition (e.g. by means of RDF) and capture meaningful information (e.g. by means of SPARQL) related to the entities once they are stored. Semantic technologies offer improved integration and interoperability of diverse information systems and operate...

...commercial buildings and residences for many years. These installations provide flexibility when choosing energy source and opportunities to shift energy use from day to night. Because of constantly stricter regulations regarding energy efficiency, modern buildings require less and less energy supply in...

...connection concepts have been proposed, but their technical performance and impact on costs remain unproven. The development of large offshore wind farms far from the mainland is challenging the limits of current cable, HVAC transmission and HVDC converter technologies. This situation demands reliable, low-maintenance...

...generation and consumption is needed to balance any electric system. Without an equilibrium the result will be frequency deviations and possibly system blackout. To prevent this the TSO manages a set of system services through reserve markets. There has been an increase in the number of services and one foresees...

...learning methods often work as black boxes and do not provide insight of the physics underlying the model. However, a hybrid approach combining physical models with machine learning preserves the physical information, while still improving the flexibility and precision of the model. This type of individually...
