Autonomous shipping has received extensive attention from the maritime industry as well as the respective research, academic and training institutes, owing to its major benefits related to cost and safety over traditional shipping in many situations. In reality, the implementation of autonomous...
The mounting pressures of climate change and biodiversity loss require a transition towards more sustainable patterns of production and consumption. Within the bioeconomy, better utilization of natural resources can be achieved by pursuing a circular bioeconomy. In the article the authors study how...
The field of industrial sustainability is rapidly expanding with new concepts and frameworks emerging almost daily. At the same time, mature ones are being used in new applications and combined with new technologies and methodologies. While these developments are promising, the ambitions, scale, and...
The understanding and development of stable redox materials based on cheap and abundant elements, forming Ca–Mn–Ti–Fe–O-based perovskites, have been in focus for applications in renewable technologies such as chemical looping combustion and thermal energy storage. The present research focuses on...
Growing high-quality Si films at high rates with thicknesses ranging from the few nm- to µm-range while keeping the material consumption at a minimum is important for a wide range of Si-based technologies, spanning from batteries to sensors and solar cells. In this work, we elucidate the effects of...
The fractal formalisms are well known for providing new understandings regarding the geometrical, spatial, and temporal behaviour of seismicity. Particularly, the fractal dimensions give information about the seismic events self-organization and self-similarity. On the other hand, the Gutenberg...
This paper investigates an innovative state estimation technique implemented within an advanced distributed framework, aimed at reducing computational complexity while detecting multiple sensor faults in hydrogen-blended natural gas pipelines. The novel distributed estimation technique is based on...
Overgangen til et kraftsystem basert på fornybar energi gir nye muligheter og utfordringer for vannkraft-produsenter. I Norden forventes det at magasinkraftverk vil spille en nøkkelrolle i å utjevne variasjoner i vindkraft, solkraft og forbruk ved å justere produksjonen opp og ned i henhold til...
This report summarizes the hydrological modelling for environmental applications for the mainland of Norway in the HydroCen work package 3.5. Also incorporated in the report are the findings and results of two master theses: water balances of lakes (chapter 2.8) and time-step testing with different...
Biomass gasification using an Entrained-Flow Reactor (EFR) is an effective strategy for sustainable energy production and climate change mitigation. However, optimizing gasification efficiency and syngas quality requires a thorough understanding of the influence of gasifying agents. This study...
Norway is a country with abundant water resources. Rainwater harvesting and stormwater utilization (RWH) has not been a central topic in Norway for a very long time. In recent years, however, we have experienced more frequent extreme storm events and less precipitation over other periods, because of...
