...systematically compare different technological solutions and environmental impacts related to the entire life cycle, from raw material, production, distribution, use, and reuse/waste management. We use standardized LCA methodology, databases and software to perform environmental systems analysis related...
...manage and manipulate a system or process in a timely and responsive manner, typically with minimal delay between sensing and actuation. Applications of real-time control are widespread and can be found in various fields, including manufacturing, aerospace, automotive systems, medical devices, and robotics...
Connecting energy systems over large geographical areas and exploiting the synergy between energy carriers can have enormous benefits if they are planned and operated as a whole. This enable intermittent renewable energy source and other energy forms to be used more effectively, which will result in...

This lab has equipment and infrastructure to carry out ageing experiments with polymer and composite materials (and products) in different environments. Hence, in this lab we perform experiments which simulate how the properties of a material change over time (due to chemical and physical ageing) when...
With the green and digital transition, the demand for various minerals is increasing. We need to extract, recycle, and recover more. Many of the mineral resources we need are classified as Critical Raw Materials (CRM). These materials have high economic value and are essential to strategic value chains...
SINTEF unites world-leading expertise in understanding of material properties, to the requirements of the end-products characteristics....
Vertical-equilibrium modeling was conducted using two variants of the Sleipner benchmark model [1], and using original as well as modified input properties (permeability, porosity, and CO2 density). This modeling work demonstrates that Sleipner's flow-dynamics can be adequately captured using a Darcy-based...

WP5 – Project management and dissemination This work package will be used for the organisation of the project and the management of administrational issues. It will do all required reporting to the Research Council and have the link to the advisors allocated the project. It will also ensure: Support...
WP1: Floater and Farm mooring Designing cost-effective mooring systems for FWTs is challenging for both shallow and deep water. In shallow water, hundreds of meters of chain per turbine may be required to survive storms, or heavy chain may be needed to minimize the platform motions and protect the power...
...increased costs of labour and sometimes, in the larger picture, the need for more crew, cars and equipment. CINELDI-partner Elvia is installing approx. 60 fault indicators in the 22kV network. The aim is to see if this reduces the time it takes to find the location of faults and the corresponding reduction...

They will chair a management group that will have one representative from each partner, to ensure (i) cooperation between partners and between work packages, (ii) milestones and deliverables are...
About us In the group safety and reliability, we develop knowledge and solutions to ensure that the systems don’t fail. We know that is usually combined contributions from human, technology and organization that leads to accidents. Therefore, our team covers a wide variety of disciplines, but the common...
We investigate and develop ways of creating more efficient and reliable cooling systems using nanofluids and magnetic nanofluids (ferrofluids). These can be used for instance for cooling of power electronics, personal computers and solar cells, and for heat transport of solar heat. This not only takes...
