Energy systems

SINTEF contributes to a reliable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy system.

Contact persons

Our research is developing the future's system solutions for hydropower, wind power and the power grid at the Norwegian, Nordic and European level –including in production planning, the development of offshore wind power and smart grids. We conduct internationally leading research that covers the entire energy chain, from production through storage and distribution, to end-use and environmental impacts.

Researchers are harvesting green energy from ground vibrations

Researchers are harvesting green energy from ground vibrations

Vibrations in the ground are found everywhere. They occur when cars pass by, when machines are operating, or when the earth’s crust moves. For most of us, these are invisible forces. For researchers, however, they represent something far more...
