Intervjuobjektet forteller om sin forskning innenfor robotikk og AI, utfordinger med å trene opp en robot til å gripe og håndtere objekter som kommer fra matsektoren. ...
I Norge kommer mer enn 90 % av distribuert produksjon fra småskala vannkraft. For distribusjonsnettselskap skaper integrering av slik produksjon en rekke utfordringer som krever navigering i et landskap bestående av mange aktører knyttet til både nett- og produksjonsutvikling; nettselskaper...
Formålet med denne rapporten har vært å gi næringen og Petroleumstilsynet (Ptil) økt kunnskap om systemer og prosesser som er nødvendig for å legge til rette for større grad av automatisert rapportering av feil, hendelser og nesten-hendelser i automatiserte systemer. Kunnskapen opparbeidet gjennom...
Here, we present a robust method for detecting flight automatically for use in digital luggage tags. The method is based on simple statistical aggregates using air pressure and 3D accelerometer measurements and complies with IATA and FAA requirements and recommendations. We achieve a correct...
Input-output modeling provides a means to assess socioeconomic and environmental impacts of policies and instruments and, thus, support public and private decision makers. This report discusses aspects of scenario definition and indicator set development in the context of such modeling. A first case...
The amount of municipal solid waste generated is steadily increasing, while natural resources are depleted more and more. In this regard, efficient waste management and treatment are central to ensure that as many valuable resources as possible can be recovered at best possible quality. This should...
Dette er hovedrapport for prosjektet "Kunnskaps- og erfaringskartlegging om effekter av og muligheter for utnyttelse av organiskmateriale og næringssalter fra havbruk" finansiert av Fiskeri- og havbruksnæringens forskningsfinansiering. Her kvantiseres utslippene av organisk materiale og...
Alternative solutions to deposit CO2 captured from gas turbine power plants on offshore petroleum production platforms have been analysed. The following alternatives were considered: 1. Dissolution of CO2 in sea water and aquifer storage of carbonated water 2. Injection of pure CO2 into an aquifer...
Introduction of renewable energy sources such as wind or photovoltaic to power upstream activities in oil and gas production can reduce emissions and play an important part in the transition required to address the GHG challenges. A main challenge with the mentioned renewables is the variability in...
Increased waste generation caused by the growth of urbanisation rate forces scientists and policymakers to rapidly develop and implement optimal waste management strategies. Since there are many ways to waste treatment and each waste material has different physicochemical properties, they should be...
In this work, woody biomass is converted by chemical looping combustion (CLC) in the auto-thermally operated 150-kW pilot unit at SINTEF Energy Research in Norway, using ilmenite as an oxygen carrier. The pilot unit consists of two inter-connected circulating fluidized bed reactors, being the air...
Nature-based solutions (NBSs) are widely implemented for stormwater management; as such they have become important assets that require proper asset management at different stages of their service life. Hence, there is a need for systematic documentation of the applied NBS in accordance with the...
Although increasing, there is still limited knowledge of the presence of ‘contaminants of emerging concern’ in Arctic marine biota, particularly in lower trophic species. In the present study, we have applied a novel pipeline to investigate the presence of contaminants in a variety of benthic and...
Terrestrial and aquatic biomasses can theoretically be used as feedstocks for producing activated carbon (AC). However, their differences in composition and biological structure would affect pore characteristics of resulting AC. In this work, activation of poplar and spirulina with H3PO4 at medium...
