AlumatIQ is an automated system for anode change operations in the aluminium smelting industry. The AlumatIQ system handles the full anode change operation, from opening and closing of oven...
...technical and economic problems of the power systems. These problems might arise due to unpredictability of wind power or due to unbalance between local power demand and intermitting power produced causing grid instabilities. The main objective of this project is to investigate these problems and to develop...
...on water and helicopters’ subsequent seaworthiness. Very few test facilities anywhere in the world perform tests of this sort today. A large number of tests under severe weather conditions were performed, involving such important parameters as weight, centre of gravity, moment of inertia and buoyancy...

Power electronics (PE) play an important role in the collection, delivery and storage of energy, and is a key enabler for energy efficiency, renewable energy and smart grids. Silicon-based PE components have...
...nationally and internationally. A sustainable façade is not just a buzzword, but a solution needed in the construction sector - as today's European buildings are responsible for the 40% of the energy usage and 36% of the CO2 emissions. Driven by the recent technology developments in the Contech and Proptech...
SESAR Joint Undertaking under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 874472. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the SESAR JU members other than the Union. A new software developed by...
...combining machine learning and physics-based modelling, we can get the best from both worlds – in models that utilize the information that lies in the data while respecting the laws of nature. The majority of Norwegian industries are still a long way from being able to adopt AI and machine learning methods...
Structural reliable offshore floating pv solution integrating circular concrete floating breakwater. The SUREWAVE project aims to develop and test an innovative Floating Photo-Voltaic (FPV) system for offshore environments. This consists of an external floating breakwater structure made of new circular...
...economically competitive, safer and more sustainable by addressing two shortcomings of composite products. 1) By developing methods for damage detection, we can increase safety and product lifetime. 2) By developing methods for recycling /reuse, we lower the environmental footprint and lifetime costs of the products...
...future miniaturized interconnect technologies for displays. The project involves several international partners within the electronics supply chain, and represents a unique opportunity for the project participants to work with a world-leading industrial partner to develop future solutions, using new particle...
...robust and sustainable two-phase heat pump which can be implemented in an open heat pump cycle in order to recover excess heat from thermal processes and upgrade it to useable, high temperature process heat. Excess heat streams contain often several phases (like water and steam) as well as air and other...
..."best available technology" and competence to assess and develop an innovative concept for energy recovery in the ferroalloy industry. The Norwegian ferroalloy industry (with a significant international ownership) cooperates in the field of environmental challenges, and is internationally renowned for...
As salmon farm sites are moved further offshore and to more exposed locations, working conditions are increasingly challenging. Farmers therefore aim to automate certain operations to facilitate safer working conditions. Automation and autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are furthermore key...
...subsea industry is constantly pushing towards reduced costs and increased safety in subsea inspection, maintenance and repair operations. Therefore we have established the SEAVENTION project: Autonomous subsea intervention - empowered by people and AI. In the SEAVENTION (Autonomous subSEA interVENTION)...
...100 kW range, for combined heat and power (CHP) applications in commercial and industrial buildings. Mass-market production of fuel cells will be a strong factor in reducing first costs. In this respect, joining the forces of two non-competing sectors (automotive and stationary) will bring benefits...
...for the production of high quality aluminum components for use in vehicles and aircrafts. This will make the production process cheaper. Norwegian forging companies have thus the opportunity to increase their market share and open new markets for aluminum forgings. In addition, the foundries have the...
Development of innovative and integrated cooling and heating concepts onboard cruise ships Until the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, the cruise industry was prospering in an international and steadily growing market. In the summer of 2019, about 850 000 cruise tourists visited Norway, spending more...
