...the requirements of the Common Safety Method regulation, (EU) 402/2013 and (EU) 2015/1136, and its results. The assessment results are documented in an independent safety assessment report containing recommendations, findings and conclusions. Assessment of the risk management process is required when...
A Digital Twin (DT) is defined as a virtual representation of a physical asset enabled through data and simulators for real-time prediction, optimization, monitoring, controlling, and improved decision making. A digital twin may be characterized by the following three keywords: Virtual Twin Predictive...
Since 2004, the acoustics groups at NTNU and SINTEF have cooperated as a Gemini Centre called the Acoustics Research Centre. The purpose of this collaboration is building an acoustics community of even greater size and quality than what can be achieved individually. Visit our blog at acousticsresearchcentre...
We have expertise in metal production, processing, properties, design and applications. We work with all types of metals and alloys. We work with metal production from raw materials as well as from recycled materials. Metal processing is used to obtain desired material properties. In addition clever...
Society has become increasingly dependent on a stable electricity supply, where the power grid and electrical appliances / equipment functions without disturbing each other. Voltage quality is the part of the power quality concept that concerns the applicability of the voltage in the outlet. Voltage...
...can be used both to perform economic analyses and to guide your decisions on investment and rehabilitation in relation to production capacity and reservoir size. The models can also analyse pump operation, both for seasonal and intra-week/24-hour pumping, and can be used to provide the correct notification...
...data collected from smartphones, we can obtain motion data of vulnerable road users (e.g. pedestrians and cyclists). Such data can be used to analyse travel behaviour for pedestrians, cyclists, and users of public transport. By associating data from different sources, proactive systems can be developed...
The electrical power system is in a state of transition, and in future decades will be subject to far-reaching changes. New sources of production and patterns of consumption will result in power flow becoming more complex and dynamic, while the electrification of society at the same time places major...
... In addition, SINTEF has expertise in the characterization of porous materials. Preparation and characterization of porous materials bilde1 Porous materials such as zeolites, metal-organic framework (MOF) and silica (MCM-41, SBA-15, etc.) are prepared either in the autoclave under hydrothermal conditions...
Fracturing provides a way to increase recovery of hydrocarbons from tight rocks. SINTEF develops knowledge on fracture initiation and growth in order to make fracking more efficient and to answer the environmental concerns. Our knowledge is also needed to properly design water-injection operations, since they...
Micro-Optics concerns development of miniature components for light manipulation, such as micromirrors, microlenses, diffractive- and meta-optical elements, and photonic integrated circuits. Our core technologies Below follows some short descriptions of our main research areas. Active optical elements...
...noise exposure can lead to health problems such as cardiovascular diseases, reduced cognitive performance in children, annoyance, sleep disturbance, and tinnitus. In Europe, approximately four million people are exposed to high noise levels from air traffic around airports. Noise annoyance is not only...
Wood is probably our oldest building material, and is one of the primary building materials in Norway to this day. We also see an increased use of wood elements and structures in large-scale constructions. We work within the following fields: Architecture Construction Construction technology Building...
CFD research group with solid expertise in hydrodynamic and aerodynamic analysis applied to ships and offshore structures. Within all market branches of the ocean industries, our CFD expertise is applied in combination with other numerical and experimental approaches to best answer our client's needs...
...an intra-day basis for the supply of reserves and balancing power, and for trading in bilateral contracts. The intention is that, within the electrical power system, trading in all these markets shall be linked together as part of the same production and transmission system. This requires multi-market...
SINTEF uses various numerical simulation tools in combination with physical understanding and practical experience. This can, for example, be simulation of AM processes in order to improve component quality, or topology optimization of a component's geometry, in order to reduce weight or optimize the...
...inertia from the power electronic converter interfaces of distributed generation and energy storage systems. In Europe, this is important in the light of the decommissioning of large-scale thermal generation facilities and the growth in power electronics-based distributed generation. Inertia emulation...
...using a combination of shallow, high-resolution seismic and shallow (max 580 m) stratigraphic drilling (diamond coring). The cores, of Late Ordovician to Late Tertiary age, were taken from more than 90 localities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and have a total length of about 6600 m (see map on backside)...
...organizing and controlling the flow of traffic in a safe and efficient manner both at airports and in the air. With the growing number of flights, it is increasingly more difficult for air traffic controllers to make every time the best possible decision such that each passenger has an on-time and efficient...
...process industry, air traffic management, and crisis management. What are good working conditions when attention has to be divided between multiple tasks? It is important to try out attention demanding solutions with real users before launch? Besides crises management and operational room layout, SINTEF is...
