This paper addresses the role of Norwegian hydro power to provide balancing power to a future wind dominated European power system. Two power market models, one simplified and one detailed are used to model possible responses of Norwegian hydro power to a wind driven exchange pattern for various...

Målet med denne studien er å finne ut hvordan innføring av elbil i Norge påvirker det norske og europeiske kraftsystemet og de tilhørende klimagassutslipp. Simuleringsmodellen EMPS blir brukt for å sette opp forskjellige scenarier med og uten elbil. I tillegg undersøkes hvordan resultatene forandrer...

Denne artikkelen benytter den numeriske likevektsmodellen LIBEMOD til å analysere effekter av EUs klimamål for 2030: Hvordan påvirker denne politikken investeringer i energisektoren, produksjon av energi, handel med energi og konsum av energi? Vil denne politikken gi en fornybarandel på minst...

Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) have become increasingly popular in urban areas due to their potential to provide zero-emission energy in buildings. BIPVs enable the use of MO of photovoltaic (PV) modules, resulting in multiple generation peaks throughout the day, which can closely match...

The increased use of electric vehicles (EVs) calls for new and innovative solutions for charging infrastructure. At the same time, it is desirable to improve the energy flexibility of neighbourhoods. This paper presents state-of-the-art for smart EV charging systems, with focus on Norway. The aim of...

The expected increase of intermittent electricity production imposed by renewable energy sources in Northern Europe poses rising challenges to the operation of the power system. The Nordic hydro based power system, particularly the Norwegian, is in a favourable position to provide necessary...

BIPVs (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) are expected to dominate the solar industry in urban areas, especially in connection with zero-emission buildings. They allow the use of mixed orientations which result in multiple generation peaks throughout the day that can precisely match the consumption...

This study presents a monitoring network for solar irradiation at high latitudes, called NTNU-SINTEF SolarNet. The network collects, with a time resolution ranging from seconds to hours, solar irradiance data, e.g. global horizontal irradiation, diffuse horizontal irradiation, direct normal...
