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. ...
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...

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...
...transmission in realizing the 2020 renewable energy targets. The project described and analyzed a plausible stadium 2020 situation for the role of the North Sea with respect to utilization of offshore wind resources and increased power exchenge for the realization of the 2020 renewable targets. Project...
...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...

...develop better and more cost-effective components for fuel cell systems, making them more efficient and reliable for heavy-duty vehicles and other mobility sectors. Hydrogen-powered fuel cells have the potential to revolutionize the heavy-duty mobility sector such as road, maritime, railway, and aviation...
...technology and in particular 5G in defence and peacekeeping operations. Communication solutions used by the Armed Forces today are in many ways less advanced, have lower performance and are less user-friendly than civilian 5G technology. It is therefore a stated goal that the Armed Forces in Norway and in Europe...
...the research project is to investigate whether children and young people in child welfare services receive necessary health care, and to identify important barriers to health care. The project will contribute so that child welfare services and health services are better able to meet the children's needs...
