...integrated assembly), allowing integration of features and functionalities without a following assembly step. The main goal with this project is to study the technological challenges faced in the development of new multi material-based solutions and components, particularly for use in various aggressive...
...production. The challenges is to be able to make the overall process economically viable at a scale that is suitable for Norway and by taking into account the Norwegian conditions and existing infrastructure. The success of this project means that we will have the opportunity to replace parts of the fossil...
The proportion of herring that are filleted has increased from 30% to 50% from 2003 to 2010, and it is expected that it will increases in future. This project will develop a system that takes out the individual fractions from the fillet to make use of the valuable raw material. Background In 2010, it...
...biofuels such as building waste and wood shavings into the discussion of which sources of power we should use in Norway, concluded project manager Lars Sørum of SINTEF Energy Research at the end of the project. Waste as valuable as shavings Wood shavings are one of the cleanest – and thus most efficient – solid...
...keeps getting smaller. Technologies and infrastructures are increasingly intertwined; nations have become interconnected by transportation, communication and economy. In this world, our society is put under tremendous strain: New forms of crime, new system dependencies and new vulnerabilities. These threats...
...large and small components with different criticality. It is challenging to determine the appropriate time for maintenance and renewal of the components. Methods and tools are developed to help utility companies to determine. One of the main objectives of the "Assessment of technical condition and lifetime...
...industral implementation of biomass conversion to advanced biofuels in Europe by developing new catalyst and methodologies. The catalytic key processes comprise hydrocarbon reforming, CO2 FTS, hydrotreating and co-Fluidized Catalytic Cracking. To meet European terms targets, an energy paradigm shift is needed...
Advanced analysis of the properties of natural and human made objects and structures most often combines a description of the physics involved by system of partial differential equations, and a geometric description of the objects and structures addressed. From the early days of computers there has been...
...area. A concrete containment protects the plant from floods, and the roof is designed as a green park area that fits into the surroundings. The WIDER UPTAKE demo site on the roof consists of four separate boxes for growing grass, flowers and bushes. The boxes are irrigated by different sources of water:...
At SINTEF, we have research communities with cutting-edge expertise on how to best plan for and utilise distributed energy resources in the distribution grid, and how battery systems can subsequently help mitigate the technical challenges that distributed generation present to the grid. Electricity...
...believe that it is good for the immune system and helps to clear the head. Detractors say that the cold simply make us ill. So, what do researchers have to say about the effects of cold on our bodies? Gemini invited SINTEF research scientist, physiologist and low temperature expert Øystein Wiggen to share...
...rely on complex computations and simulations to support decision-making. But behind each answer lies a complex web of algorithmic approximations and data-driven parameters. So, how certain can we really be? At the 26th Geilo Winter School, we'll explore the foundations and frontiers of uncertainty qu...
...(ZEN). Developers may also be frustrated by cost issues and a lack of flexibility and influence in choosing heating solutions, compounded by regulatory requirements to connect to district heating systems. This report examines these tensions and identifies key areas for improvement to align on climate...
