However, electrification using inefficient heating technologies and without improvements in buildings’ energy efficiency can considerably increase the strain on the power grid and limit the decarbonization of other sectors, such as transport and industry. This study focuses on Norway, where direct electric...

Developing cost-efficient systems for transporting CO₂ is key to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture and storage. The present work explores the impact of reducing the pressure of tank-based inland and at-sea transport on their techno-economic performance. The study uses established techno-economic models...

The study proposes two types of BNs to infer probabilities of variables of existing buildings. The first BN is based on conditional probability tables and associations between global building variables. The second builds on this with detailed structural load variables via engineering equations from historical...

This paper discusses cause and effect of harmonic voltages and severe lighting equipment flicker that were observed by low voltage end consumers in connection with the operation of a pumping station connected to a 22 kV radial line of a typical MV distribution network of a Norwegian utility. The ...

Full electrification of the transport sector is a necessity to combat climate change and a pressing societal issue: climate agreements require a fuel shift of all the modes of transport, but while uptake of passenger electric vehicles is increasing, long haul trucks rely almost completely on fossil fuels...

...new better systems for catch handling and storage on board making them able to deliver high quality raw material for further production to food. Pelagic purse seine catches are traditionally loaded by vane pumps and unloaded by vacuum pumps. The pumping systems and valves are known to cause damages to...

Vanlig Strandsnegl (Littorina littorea) er en lite utnyttet delikatesse i Norge, men arten sankes, eksporteres og konsumeres i mange europeiske land. Denne studien har undersøkt noen av de tidligere ukjente faktorene som påvirker de tidlige livsstadiene til L. littorea, med fokus på inkubasjon av...

...the global wind and wave climate is studied on the basis of two well-known reanalysis products, namely ERA5 and CFSR-W (WW3 hereafter). Several statistical features of the datasets are assessed, such as seasonal variability, quantiles of the probability distribution, monthly, annual and inter-annual variability...
