SINTEF Energy projects

Innovative demonstrations for the next generation of biomass and waste combustion plants for energy recovery and renewable electricity production.

The project was designed chiefly to develop strategies aimed at integrating energy from renewable sources into European power grids as cheaply as possible.

The project aimed at developing novel overall solutions to minimise consequences and costs related to major challenges for the future distribution networks:

Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems are an energy efficient technology for heating and cooling of non-residential buildings. Ground source is a relatively high and stable heat source tempe­rature that enables a considerable share of the cooling...

Norway was at the brink of a significant wind energy development with an official target of increasing the annual wind energy production to 3 TWh within 2010. Industrial initiatives had also been taken; most notably by ScanWind and Umoe Ryving. The...

The Energy Planning Toolbox was created to support and guide the process of planning local energy systems with multiple energy carriers: electricity, gas, hot water, etc.

A mixed energy distribution system means (in this context) a local (regional/local) energy system with different energy carriers (electricity, district heating, natural gas, hydrogen) and a mix of distributed energy sources and end-uses.

A fast introduction of large amounts of intermitting renewable power production as wind power can cause technical and economic problems of the power systems.
