...risk management in hydropower systems. Earlier practice in Scandinavia has been to separate operations scheduling and contract management. In the present approach operation scheduling and hedging by future contacts are integrated in one model. The risk level is controlled by setting revenue targets. Revenues...

Traceability will be an immensely important subject for the food and fish industry the forthcoming years. From August 12th 2004, registration and prior notice sent in electronic form with a wealth of traceability information is required for all food shipments to the US (Bioterrorism Act PL107-188). The...

...the turning, course keeping and stopping ability for vessels with a length greater than 100 m do not cover the presence of waves, wind and current. But their effects may significantly reduce the manoeuvring performance of ships, especially of smaller vessel types in shallow and restricted waters. Since...

...weathering properties of Luno II has been performed using both small and meso-scale laboratory testing at two temperatures, 5°C and 13°C. The obtained data was used as input in the SINTEF Oil Weathering Model (OWM) to predict the fate and behaviour of Luno II in a spill situation at sea. The weathering properties...

...requirement for safe and economic ship operations. Considering the introduction of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) for new ships and the related decreasing installed power on ships, the necessity arose to more accurately predict the maneuverability of ships in severe seas, strong winds, and confined waters...

Results from a comprehensive oil weathering and dispersant effectiveness study of the MC252 crude oil have been used to predict changes in oil properties due to weathering on the sea surface and to estimate the effective “time window” for dispersant application under various sea conditions. MC252 oil...
