Offshore Wind Integration with a Stand-alone Electric Grid for Oil and Gas Offshore Installations

FerroCool is an experimental project that will investigate ferrofluid heat transfer. It is an early step towards realizing a novel, efficient and reliable cooling concept that uses magnetic nanofluids.

The project has a large potential for improving the transmission system's asset management by optimizing decisions on maintenance and reinvestments using developments in information and communication technology (ICT) and existing business specific...

This project would investigate how smart grid technology can be utilized in the electric distribution grid to reduce interruptions in the electricity supply and socio-economic costs of interruptions.

Society is crucially dependent on an adequate level of security of electricity supply. This imposes requirements for the planning and operation of modern power systems.

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.

The primary objective of this project is to develop a methodology for optimized selection of energy storage solutions in hybrid ship power and propulsion systems.

Several severe and costly service failures have occurred in the last years in the Norwegian distribution network due to local overheating in power cables.

Flexibility in the future smart distribution grid
