SINTEF Energy coordinates and participates in several EU Horizon 2020 and FP7 projects. Here are a selection of the projects.

EU flag

SETWIND

Start: 2019
End: 2021

The EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) was launched in 2008 and updated in 2015. It coordinates European low-carbon research and innovation activities.

IMPACTS9

Start: 2019
End: 2022

IMPACTS9 will support delivery of the R&I activities outlined in the Implementation Plan for CCUS through the provision of coordination and support to the key public and private stakeholders that are well placed to progress the SET-Plan Implementation Plan actions in the near term.

WATEREYE - O&M tools integrating accurate structural health in offshore energy

Start: 2019
End: 2022

The Watereye project will design an advanced monitoring system that will make it possible to remotely detect corrosion levels

FlexPlan

Start: 2019
End: 2022

Advanced methodology and tools taking advantage of storage and FLEXibility in transmission and distribution grid PLANning.

FarmConners

Start: 2019
End: 2021

The FarmConners project supports the implementation and industrialisation of Wind Farm Control (WFC) as an additional feature for the development and operation of wind power plants. It brings together actors in all relevant fields connected with the market uptake of WFC: research institutes, industry and certification agencies. FarmConners will coordinate a reliable assessment of the WFC possibilities, promising more green power from existing and upcoming assets for the price of a software update.

Open ENTRANCE

Start: 2019
End: 2022

The European energy system is now entering a transition to a low-carbon future in accordance with the COP21 agreements and European Union targets and objectives set for 2020, 2030 and 2050.

HydroFlex

Start: 2018
End: 2022

The HydroFlex project aims to develop new technology permitting highly flexible operation of hydropower stations. Flexibility of operation here means large ramping rates, frequent start-stops and possibilities to provide a large range of system services. All this within (strict) excellent environmental and social conditions while being economically competitive compared to alternative solutions.

Megaroller

Start: 2018
End: 2021

The MegaRoller project will develop and demonstrate a Power Take-Off (PTO) for wave energy converters.

CHEERS - Chinese-European Emission-Reducing Solutions

Start: 2017
End: 2022

On 1 October 2017, a new Research and Innovation Action, designated CHEERS, was commenced under the EC-Horizon 2020 programme's Low-Carbon Initiative.

TotalControl

Start: 2018
End: 2021

The ambition of the TotalControl project is to develop the next generation of wind power plant (WPP) control tools, improving both WPP control itself and the collaboration between wind turbine (WT) and WPP control.

FITHydro

Start: 2016
End: 2020

FITHydro - Fish friendly Innovative Technologies for Hydropower

MARINET2

Start: 2017
End: 2021

Evolving from the initial MaRINET project, EU H2020 is currently working with the project MaRINET2 towards a vision of exploiting the renewable energy potential of the oceans.

MultiPACK

Start: 2016
End: 2019

Demonstration of the next generation standardised integrated cooling and heating packages for commercial and public buildings based on environment-friendly carbon dioxide vapour compression cycles.

DryF

Start: 2016
End: 2020

The overall objective of the DryFiciency project is to lead energy-intensive sectors of the European manufacturing industry to high energy efficiency and a reduction of fossil carbon emissions by means of waste heat recovery to foster competitiveness, improve security of energy supply and guarantee sustainable production in Europe. The project addresses drying applications. The results are however of major relevance for several other energy-intensive industries such as e.g. pulp and paper industry.

ERIGrid

Start: 2015
End: 2020

European Research Infrastructure supporting Smart Grid Systems Technology Development, Validation and Roll Out - project

SuperSmart

Start: 2016
End: 2018

SuperSmart aims to achieve both decisive environmental benefits through a fast implementation of efficient heating and cooling solutions, as well as significant economic benefits through reduced energy use in the supermarket sector all across Europe.

Market4RES

Start: 2014
End: 2016

Post-2020 framework for a liberalised electricity market with a large share of Renewable Energy Sources

GATEWAY

Start: 2015
End: 2017

Accelerating a shift towards deployment of CCS in Europe through a cross-border CO2 transport infrastructure

CEMCAP

Start: 2015
End: 2018

The Horizon 2020 CEMCAP project brings together CCS interests and research expertise from the cement industry with research expertise on CCS for power plants.

BestPaths

Start: 2014
End: 2018

Transmission for sustainability

EcoGrid EU

Start: 2011
End: 2015

The project offers Europe a fast track evolution towards Smart Grids dissemination and deployment in the distributed electricity grid.

LEANWIND - Logistic efficiencies and naval architecture for wind installations with novel developments

Start: 2013
End: 2017

Den overordnede tanken med LEANWIND-prosjektet var å innføre såkalte «lean»-prinsipper til havvindindustrien for å redusere energikostnadene for denne energikilden.

IMPACTS - The impact of the quality of CO2 on transport and storage behaviour

Start: 2013
End: 2016

The idea of IMPACTS is to close identified knowledge gaps related to transport and storage of CO2-rich mixtures from various CO2 sources to enable realisation of safer and more cost-efficient solutions for CCS.
