Transportation will be electric in the future. It can come from pure electric operating from batteries or via conversion of hydrogen in a fuel cell. Also hybrid solutions are a possibility....

HVDC technologies have the greatest potential for the transmission of high-voltage electricity over very long distances. For this reason, HVDC transmission is playing a gradually increasing role...

The connection of offshore wind farms to the grid is an important research field because while the process is currently responsible for a large proportion of costs, the potential for cost...

Combustion of fuels like natural gas, wood, gasoline and coal is the main source of heat and power worldwide, both in industry and in our private lives. Combustion is also the main source of...

We have accumulated more than 15 years experience in new combustion processes based on the use of unconventional fuels (rich in hydrogen) and new oxidizers like oxyfuel mixtures which are common...

In a liberalised electricity market, such as is the case for the Nordic countries, electricity production levels and prices are determined via a market statement based on supply and demand bids...

Today's limited 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...

How does hydropower affect the global carbon cycle? SINTEF has expertise, international experience, and advanced measurement equipment for analysing greenhouse gas emissions related to hydropower...

The CFD group at SINTEF Energy Research has more than 30 years of experience in performing numerical modelling of chemically reactive processes in laminar and turbulent flows consisting of...

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...

Pyrolysis of biomass has grown significantly as a research area the last decade. SINTEF carries out basic and applied research within pyrolysis of biomass for increased process understanding and...

The special field structural engineering deals with analyses and design of load bearing structures, components and solutions. We work within the following fields: Condition assessment of...

SINTEF has laboratories for testing all sanitary products. We provide information for consumers, insurance companies, the building industry and the authorities. We work continuously to influence...

SINTEF performs building damage assessments of all types of buildings, from small residential buildings to complex industrial and commercial buildings. The damage assessments end in a...

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...

Safe and secure drinking water supply, wastewater management and surface water management are crucial for a well-functioning society in a changing climate. We assess solutions based on technical...

Installations for waterborne heating have been used in both commercial buildings and residences for many years. These installations provide flexibility when choosing energy source and...

Energy efficiency and increased heating comfort has resulted in modern buildings being more airtight than previous building constructions. Airtight buildings have reduced uncontrolled...

Torrefaction is a thermochemical process for pretreatment of biomass. The treatment results in increased heating value and increased energy density (after compaction), lower grinding energy...

We have extensive experience in line management and management of Lean processes. Our strength is that we adapt Lean work within companies to the current situation and degree of Lean-maturity. All...
