Optimizing marine battery operations using 6 years’ operational data from two commercially operating vessels.

BaSS aims to facilitate that battery energy storage systems (BESS) become an alternative to grid reinforcement for voltage challenges, when this is the most socio-economically rational solution. Several different services for voltage support may be relevant in the same power grid (value stacking). It is challenging to design control systems and methods for optimal rating of such a BESS.

Electrification of the transport sector, fish farming facilities, the petroleum industry, etc. will cause increased and more complex electrical loads on the grid.

Fish on their downstream migration in rivers often encounter hydropower dams and intakes and tend to follow the main flow into the turbines where they may be injured or killed. While fine-meshed racks with a bypass can prevent fish from entering, they are costly and challenging to install and operate, particularly in larger systems.

This laboratory will be used both in research and development to identify and improve manufacturing unit properties during network failures.

This low temperature hydrogen laboratory is one of the most complete and advanced laboratories for electrolyser and fuel cell testing in Scandinavia, offering testing capabilities from R&D-scale single cell testing up to kW-scale short stack testing. The laboratory is operated by the New Energy solution group in SINTEF Industri, shared with NTNU, and is one of the nodes of the Norwegian Fuel cell and Hydrogen Centre.

– a vital tool for energy research in Norway

NTNU and SINTEF have built a new National Smart Grid Laboratory in Trondheim with funding from the Research Council of Norway in cooperation with the Artic University of Norway and Smart Innovation Østfold.

EMPS (EFI's Multi-area Power-market Simulator) is a tool for forecasting and planning in electricity markets. It has been developed for optimization and simulation of hydrothermal power systems with a considerable share of hydro power. It takes into account transmission constraints and hydrological differences between major areas or regional subsystems.

EOPS (One-area Power-market Simulator) is a model especially suited for long and medium term scheduling or expansion planning in hydropower dominated areas, where:
