FuChar The aim of the FuChar project is to minimise investment and operating costs related to the grid integration of electric transport, with a focus on high-power charging. Due to political goals, in combination with end-users' and the industry's desire for a more sustainable transport sector, electrification...
...easily communicate to each other based on IEC 61850 and most of hardwired copper connections are replaced by optical fiber cables. In Digital Substations, sampled values are instantaneous values of analogue signals (voltage, current, etc.) are sampled and digitalised. Currently, these values are not fully...
...deeper waters, and resources are being exploited in more and more demanding ocean environments. FPSOs, or Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessels, are playing an increasingly important role in international offshore petroleum activity. Research on "green water on deck" and resulting loads...
...more frequent and rapid changes in water flow. EnviPEAK will address the changes that are expected in the operation of Norwegian hydropower plants as a consequence of the development of other energy sources, such as wind power. The main objective of EnviPEAK is to develop knowledge and tools to analyse...
The aim of this project is to develop practical and targeted strategies with the emphasis on personal safety and finances, decision criteria, and simple tools, all with a view to optimal grid management (maintenance and renewal). This will include working through an actual case with the participating...
... VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and SINTEF of Norway have agreed to launch a joint collaborative to develop and offer services to international clients in the field of Building Technology and Civil Engineering. Areas of particular interest on the international market are building information...
...capture in both coal and gas fired power stations because they combine the efficient conversion of syngas into hydrogen fuel with capture of the remaining carbon dioxide in one reactor. The carbon dioxide is produced at high pressure, reducing the compression energy for transport and storage. CACHET II...
...further research and development in advanced pre-combustion capture techniques to substantially reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel power plants. The project will accelerate the technology development and contribute to the deployment of large scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) plants...
Johannes Tjønnås (left) and Sigurd Fjerdingen at SINTEF ICT are working with robots and their positioning indoors. They want to produce a more complete system designed for small companies. Here they present their small test platform. Photo: Thor Nielsen. A small, saucer-shaped vacuum cleaner hums gently...
...virgin biomass and biodegradable waste fractions, including their production, harvesting and transportation, the conversion to heat and power, and the upgrade of residues to valuable products. CenBio researchers develop effective, environmentally sound ways of utilizing more biomass and waste for energy...
The project aims at generating and curating a high-quality dataset for air handling unit operation with emulated faults to develop fault detection and diagnosis solutions. Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) has been studied and developed in multiple disciplines of engineering since the 1980s. Faults...
In a world where development kits and free software open up the potential for system design to many more people, it is easy to have the misconception that building vision systems is a simple task. Yes, by ordering a camera online, you ca have it connected to your laptop or a Jetson by tomorrow afternoon...
...transform the production of bleaching and disinfection chemicals in the European chemical industry. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used as a whitener or disinfection chemical in many industries, such as pulp and paper, textiles, electronics, resins, coatings, disinfection, and water treatment. The chemical is...
CO2 emissions. Stock photo: Thor Nielsen Standard It sounds almost too good to be true. But research carried out by SINTEF scientists Harald Justnes and Tobias Danner has led to the development of concrete materials with properties that only a few years ago were a distant dream. The ‘glue’ is the problem...
Laboratory for fabrication and granulation of solid inorganic materials have different types of equipment to modify powders to particles with different morphologies and sizes and requested properties. General description of equipment and competence For many applications it is necessary to modify synthesized...
A circular economy aims to keep products, components, and materials at their highest utility and value at all times. A change towards circular economy will be crucial for value creation, economic growth and waste- and resource management in the coming decades....
...environment in ways we may not understand when we decide what products to use and how to use them. What are they made of and how are they made? How do we use them and how do we dispose or recycle them? In the DACOMAT project we use LCA and LCCA to reduce our impacts....
NorthWind and UiO (University of Oslo, Scandinavian Institute of Maritime Law) invite you to this seminar about regulating safety and working environment in renewable energy production at sea. Avdeling for energirett, Domus Media Karl Johans gate 47, Oslo The Petroleum Safety Authority (Ptil) has...
...develop modelling software necessary to design a digital twin for an offshore bottoming cycle with respect to optimizing its operational efficiency and reliability. The digital twin will be designed for use in greenfield applications to help simulate operations of bottoming cycles before installation...
...on studying how small microplastic (sMP; <100µm) and nanoplastic (NP; <1µm) particles are formed through the degradation of larger plastic items, and how these particles behave as they are transported from freshwater, through coastal brackish waters, and into the marine environment. REVEAL will use this...
