Design and evaluation of experiments Participants: SINTEF, ECN, IRD, JRC Objectives identify critical operating conditions for PEM fuel cell stacks, based on screening of single cells, actual testing of stacks, field tests, modelling and experimental assessment of local conditions in a stack based on...
...that quantifies residual stress distributions in welded steel components and structures. WP 2 Research challenges Develop efficient and accurate numerical algorithms (growing domains, advanced material models, wide range of length and time scales). Handling welding process characteristics (heat sources,...
...the CIV Artic vessel was model tested in MARINTEK's Towing Tank for documentation of calm water performance and speed loss in waves. The calm water performance of the vessel was not satisfactory and actions were taken to find ways to optimize the hull design. For a vessel with ice breaker capabilities,...
Short-term effects There are two physiological phenomena resulting from exposure to electromagnetic fields that are readily reproducible and for which causal links are well established. These are both related to the induction of currents in biological tissues, which exhibit differing electrical conductivity...
...north there are no good Internet systems. Satellite signals are difficult to obtain and other radio frequencies are very patchy. INTERNET – NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED Beate Kvamstad is conducting research on radio signals and satellite systems at MARINTEK. She points out that the Internet is not available...
...today announced its intention to build a 32 GWh battery cell facility in Mo I Rana, Norway. Freyr also announced that the company partners with SINTEF and NTNU. Increasing demand for battery cells European demand for battery cells will exceed 300 GWh by 2025, driven by accelerating electrification of transportation...
Petrobras relies heavily on floating production storage and offloading units, commonly called FPSOs, to exploit deep water and ultra deep water petroleum fields. SINTEF do Brasil researchers are finding ways to make a common component of these units safer and more economical. When most people think of offshore...
...transparent and many of the processes out on the platform are controlled by onshore personnel via networked PCs. Although this has several advantages, one disadvantage is a decrease in information security. When onshore and offshore networks are linked, the chances of attacks by viruses and hackers increase...
Contact Dagfinn Moe, Dep. of Transport Research So now we have it in black and white – the emotional centre in young men's brains overrides the area controlling their ability to make rational decisions. This leads to accidents among risk-seeking motorists. Last autumn, in a laboratory at the University...
...rail, due to its low societal costs. And when all transport modes move to zero-emission, waterway transport becomes the transport mode with the by far least societal costs. Researchers from SINTEF Ocean are leading a consortium of partners from industry, research, and academia to develop a new zero-emission...
To achieving an electricity grid that is flexible, intelligent, robust and cost-efficient Sharing knowledge is important Research results about the electricity grid are now presented in an open-access knowledge base online. This will make the process of finding new knowledge about how do develop a smarter...
...full project What? A monitoring protocol is an agreed standardized method of preparing equipment, perfomring measurements and interpreting the results. It must be repeatable and reproducible. The certification is a document that verifies that the monitoring protocol has been applied correctly. Why? To...
...objective is to develop models and other tools that can be used to help understand, predict and prevent a broad class of flow assurance problems. Our overall goal is to develop generic methods to describe complex fluid systems in tools that can be incorporated into scaleable and robust multiphase flow assurance...

...shipwrecks, pollution and algal blooms. By Åse Dragland The current model shows how coastal flow conditions and shared water masses pay no heed to municipalities and administrative boundaries. But it also shows more detailed results regarding flow conditions, temperature, and the spread of infection...
...reducing environmental impact and improving safety and asset integrity. – Our technology can reduce the need for maintenance by up to 80 percent, while keeping assets safer than today, resulting in major savings for the industry. At the same time, it reduces environmental impact and lowers the number of on-site...
...(total velocity) and lambda is the mobility, which depends on the water saturation S. The saturation equation (conservation of the water phase) is given as: where phi is the rock porosity, f is the Buckley-Leverett fractional flow function, and q_w is the water source term. Contents Read and process the model...
...resulting in considerable variation in the physical quality of commercial feeds. Feed represents more than 50% of the costs in Norwegian fish farming, and the total yearly cost of feed is approximately 7 billion NOK. Thus, even small fractions lost or poorly utilised will amount to large sums. The feed...
A robot that can move forward and inspect complicated pipe systems is currently under development. The robot can twist its way vertically up pipe walls. The new robot functions as a train in horizontal pipes but manoeuvres sideways into a vertical pipe and twists vertically upwards. (Ill: SINTEF...
...blood-vessels, and it is not certain that the patient would survive such a serious operation. Instead, he is placed in a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus and a large ultrasonic probe is placed on his abdomen. Within a few seconds, three-dimensional images of his abdominal cavity and liver appear on...
