...understanding of a building stock’s characteristics and development over time is an underlying premise for reliable long-term building stock energy analyses. On the neighbourhood level, the building stock can be studied in large detail. Interactions between buildings and the local energy system can be analysed considering...

...to release of hydrocarbons during production on oil and gas platforms. For each release scenario, initiating events, barrier functions aimed to prevent loss of containment, and barrier systems that realize these barrier functions are identified and described....

...operations. This report considers the pros and cons of wireless communication in Safety Instrumented Systems. The report provides an introduction to wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the underlying technology for wireless instrumentation, presenting the history and basic technology enabling the recent development...

...scientific literature on customer journeys to support our work on customer journey measures in the research project Customer Care 2015. A total of 54 journal and conference papers have been analysed along with the background literature referred in these papers. Key insights from the review include: • Customer...

...can be used to develop or evaluate security and privacy requirements for Cloud computing services. The content has been gathered from established industry standards and best practices, supplemented with requirements from European data protection legislation, and taking into account security issues identified...

...summarizes the motivation and the goals of the "CyberWiseKids" project proposal. The proposal was designed by SINTEF in 2015 and revised in 2016, with the aim of developing a research and innovation project which would involve several industrial and academic partners from Norway and Europe. The underlying...

...report documents the evaluation of our method for the analysis   and development of policies for trust negotiation. The method was evaluated in an industrial case study with evaluation criteria focusing on feasibility, effectiveness and usability. Oppdragsgiver: Norwegian Research Council...

PlaneRay is a ray tracing program for modeling of underwater acoustic propagation s with moderately range-varying bathymetry and bottom parameters. The sound speed of the water may vary with depth, but not with range. The bottom can be a fluid sedimentary layer over an elastic half space with geo-acoustic...

This white paper presents a new set of guidelines developed to address important carbon capture and storage (CCS) cost issues in three areas. The first area of study tackles the establishment of improved guidelines for cost evaluation of advanced low-carbon technology (such as a new CO₂ capture process...

...included to estimate the viscosity limits and the time window for dispersant use. The laboratory data were used as input to the SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) for weathering predictions from a surface release of Tyrving at sea at 5 and 15 °C, reflecting winter and summer conditions. The weathering properties...

...construction, Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), automotive, aquaculture and fisheries, and packaging. The plastic material streams with the highest volume in Norway are EPS in the construction sector, PP in the EEE and automotive sectors, PE in the aquaculture and fisheries sector, and LDPE in the packaging...

A standardized bench-scale and meso-scale flume testing weathering study has been conducted on Dugong crude oil at 13 °C. The dispersibility testing on Dugong was included to estimate the viscosity limits and time window for dispersant use. The laboratory data were used as input to the SINTEF Oil Weathering...

...standardized weathering study has been conducted on SF Nord Brent (E-2&E- 3) and Sygna Brent (N-1&N-2) crude oils at 13 °C. Dispersibility testing included the dispersant Dasic Slickgone NS to estimate the viscosity limits and time window for dispersant use. The SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) was...

This report provides an overview of standards, methods, certification schemes, tools, and previous studies related to the carbon footprint (CF) of seafood, both in general but especially related to fishing vessels and refrigeration systems. The aim is to give various perspectives on CF estimations for...

Flow diagnostics are simple and controlled numerical flow experiments run to probe a reservoir model, establish connections and basic volume estimates, and measure heterogeneity in flow paths. All these quantities are quick to compute and can thus be used interactively to explore fluid communication...

...definition, key performance indicators (KPI), and assessment criteria for the Research Centre on Zero Emission Neighbourhoods in Smart Cities (ZEN research centre). This fifth version of the ZEN definition builds upon previous versions of the ZEN definition report and the ZEN definition guideline series (1)...

...technical maturity and regulatory readiness is crucial. This study focuses specifically on the Levanger-Ytterøy ferry service, evaluating the technical and regulatory feasibility of unmanned operation for passenger ferries. The analysis covers three operational phases (at port, near port, and coastal sailing)...
