...provides an assessment of the impacts of the current policy and regulatory framework upon efficient energy usage, management of increased energy surpluses, storage and exchanges in and between buildings in Norway. There is currently a reinforced focus and priority towards energy efficiency in buildings. Yet...
This report investigates the differences in material use and energy consumption of new production systems for salmon farming including semi-closed/closed cages in the sea, landbased and offshore/exposed aquaculture through reviewing existing and planned concepts as well as the literature. In general,...
...disciplines and schools in risk research. The collection of essays elaborates various threats and vulnerabilities in Integrated Operations (IO) and/or discusses strategies for assessing and handling risk in IO. As a result, the report shows a variety of interpretations of IO-related threats and vulnerabilities...
...objective with passive houses is to reduce the energy demand for heating and cooling. A well-insulated and airtight building envelope, highly efficient heat recovery within the ventilation system, low-energy windows and doors, and thermal bridge free constructions are common characteristics for passive...
Based on literature studies of acoustic emissions (AE) from leaking valves the basic behaviour of such emissions is described. Some important factors affecting the scaling of the emissions are discussed briefly. Oppdragsgiver: Project 3.2 within Center for Integrated Operations in the Petroleum...
...ingredients and products can be produced from white fish rest raw materials (RRM) by choosing the right preservation and processing technologies. Silaging of RRM from whitefish was proven to be a technological solution that can be used for preservation and short-term storage of raw material. Simple and inexpensive...
A standardized bench-scale and meso-scale flume testing weathering study has been conducted on Calypso crude oil. The dispersibility testing was 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...
A generic supply chain model for a Short Sea Shipping (SSS) use-case and an Inland Waterways (IWW) use-case is developed through an analysis of their respective supply chains. The supply chain models for each of the two use-cases is developed based on interviews with the two demonstrators' operators...
...performance and adapt dimensioning of different systems to the case at hand (Figure 1). The ZEB supporting tool is a post-processing tool based on outputs of hourly aggregated data produced by other building performance simulations (BPS) tools, such as thermal load, plant temperatures, mass flows and energy...
In order to quantify a set of scenarios for the European and Norwegian energy system, a set of two linked models is applied. These comprise a global assessment model and an expansion model for the European power system. This setup of linked model allows to apply global framework developments in more...
...carry out a survey of emissionfree building and construction sites for Oslo Municipality's projects. The principal themes are electricity supply, emission-free construction machinery and vehicles, and charging logistics, studying associated experiences and barriers. This report assesses building site...
...document introduces the concept of multi-modal communication, using the coordination of a Search and Rescue (SAR) operation as an illustrating scenario, identifies challenges for secure information exchange and outlines the way forward....
Rising healthcare expenditures call for new ways of working smarter in hospitals to achieve their target performance with the same budget and staffing levels. Integral Capacity Management (ICM) is an approach developed in the Netherlands that helps hospitals achieve their desired performance. It matches...
...relaxation techniques and temporal decomposition. Findings and conclusions are supported by computational experiments conducted on a realistic large-scale dataset. Relaxation of reservoir balance constraints are investigated, and an effective heuristic method is presented. Both serial and parallel implementations...
...criteria and extended list of structures for the case studies at the PCCH-Arctic project. Several structures from this list will be chosen for the case studies. Selection is based on suggestions of the project participants, discussion at the kick-off meeting, and feedback from the project partners and discussions...
...find many specific design-patterns or guidelines for form-based mobile user interfaces, and it also seems like the many commercial solutions within the field of automatic generation of UI based proprietary databases and data models are not so easily accessible....
With a more connected world, where someone can attack digital industries in distant countries with low risk and cost, cyber security is becoming increasingly important on a nation-wide level. Several recent attacks illustrate this, for example towards the power grid in Ukraine in 2016, the petrochemical...
