...to support and guide the process of planning local energy systems with multiple energy carriers: electricity, gas, hot water, etc. The toolbox gathered methodological elements (tools) that could be used for local energy system planning and it enables users to learn and understand the use and potential...
Fluid Dynamics for the Design of Energy Efficient and Environment Friendly Marine Propulsors. Six industrial companies in Norway, delivering propulsion systems, have joined forces with two research partners to develop the next generation propulsion design and analysis tool for industrial use. This tool incorporates...
Demonstrating a High-energy and High-power hybrid battery storagE soLutIonS platform for multiple grid services HiHELIOS will employ hybrid (high-Energy and high-Power) battery energy storage systems for improved system performance, lifetime and customization, with a modular approach. It uses off-the-shelf...
...various parameters, constraints and energy policies. Real costs for grid integration, extension and reinforcement were extrapolated and correlated with usual infrastructure costs and electricity prices. By identifying the barriers to large-scale integration of RES-E and taking into account varying constraints...
Numbers" was how statistics on health and care in the municipalities are used and requested. The project was a collaboration between SINTEF Technology and Society, Group of Health Services Research and NTNU (the University of Trondheim), Department of Sociology and Political Science. Some of our research...
...cultivation of seaweed and development of methods for conversion of the seaweed biomass into energy and platform chemicals. The three institutes are: SINTEF Fisheries and Aquaculture Seaweed cultivation SINTEF Materials and Chemistry Pre-treatment and biochemical conversion to energy and ...
Tetherless robot for biofouling prevention and inspection in salmon farming Biofouling is a challenge for salmon farming worldwide, particularly in Norway since its presence decreases the effectiveness of cleaner fish employed to control the salmon lice. Other impacts of biofouling accumulation include...
...wastes from polluted hot-spots, major rivers basins and beach front areas and to energy-recover the wastes in local energy intensive industries. Non-recyclable plastic wastes will be energy-recovered and substitute coal in local energy intensive industry and recyclable fractions sent to recycling facilities...
Electrification of the transport sector can be achieved with hydrogen and/or battery technologies. The modular nature of these components allows for individual tailored sizing of the power system, perfectly adapted to specific requirements. Optimum design (component sizing) minimises the total cost of...
...vision of Sharing Neighbourhoods is digitalization towards a socially inclusive and caring neighbourhood. We will investigate the effects of digital collaborative sharing platforms on the social interactions in neighbourhoods, and the new economic models that these platforms enable in the neighbourhoods. ...
...systems are capable of reasoning about and solving unstructured problems without the direct intervention of humans, and central to future exploitation of the ocean space. The SEATONOMY methodology gives a structured way of analyzing mobile autonomous maritime operations and systems. The goal of the methodology...
...placemaking and the 15-minute concept through the lens of social inclusion, diversity and the Sustainable Development Goals Why InclusiveCity? In the past decade, placemaking has become an appealing and widely used tool to implement the 15-minute city and improve the quality of life in cities and make places...
...33% of the total GHG emissions. Reduction of these emissions will require advanced technology, innovation and research. In this project, we will address these challenges we will suggest practical and efficient solutions to provide a sustainable cold chain for the food sector with decreased carbon emissions...
INDEE+is coordinated by NTNU (dep. of energy and process engineering) and includes several partners, where SINTEF Ocean is one of them. INDEE+ is an umbrella project covering several dededicated projects supporting the Indian refrigeration and Air Conditioning sector towards more environmentally friendly...
...processes and equipment, moving towards zero defect manufacturing, which is a key challenge in strategic economic sectors, such as aeronautics, energy, and automotive. Vision Currently, thanks to digital means, a large volume of data is generated and stored, but, without adequate processing and management...
NYMOOR will enable design and use of nylon mooring systems for floating wind turbines, reducing material and resource requirements and enabling novel mooring solutions. There are ambitious goals for development of floating wind farms, but one of the limiting factors is the mooring systems. Current options...
...harvested, produced, processed, and distributed to supply the growing and changing needs of Norway’s agri- and aquacultural sectors. For this, we will apply a systems approach to mapping the domestic feed system and, using a systems model, conduct environmental, social, and economic sustainability assessments...
...hydropower stations. Flexibility of operation here means large ramping rates, frequent start-stops and possibilities to provide a large range of system services. All this within (strict) excellent environmental and social conditions while being economically competitive compared to alternative solutions. SINTEF...
...through external control of melt stirring and thus transport of oxygen by periodically variation of the crystal and/or crucible rotation. The basic rationale is that an optimal stirring in the melt can be achieved by changing the rotation rate of the crucible and/or crystal. Improvements in material performance...
...optimize production, improve reservoir management and maximise field recovery. The well environment is harsh and can limit the operative life of conventional electronic down-hole gauges. In recent years fibre optic based measurement systems have been developed and well deployments have proven this technology...
