...behind-the-meter in households and on commercial buildings. However, the power grid was historically not designed to accommodate distributed energy production, which involves both technical and economic challenges. Local Energy Communities may be an important tool to solve these challenges and enable the efficient...
...discretization of the pressure equation, and a transport solver based on explicit time stepping. This was the original formulation in the vertical average module. Using fractional height ( ) as primary variable, a standard two-point discretization for the pressure equation, and the standard implicit transport...
...1.1 User Cultures and User Needs Project Leader: Professor Knut H. Sørensen, Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture, NTNU. Case studies of user participation and user experiences in selected building projects. How to organize user participation in building projects and how to represent users’...
Safe and economic use of batteries is strongly dependent on a solid understanding of the performance of the batteries under various operational modes and environments. SINTEF is performing scientifically based evaluations of the electric and thermal performance of batteries under different temperatures...
Charging infrastructure and electrochemical energy storage are prerequisites for society’s swift transition to green energy and lower CO2 emissions, and will play important roles in the future energy system. SINTEF carry out projects in collaboration with both private industry and the public sector, focusing...
Simply put, upgrading and expanding (O/U) hydropower means either replacing old components with newer and more efficient components (upgrading), or increasing the production capacity of hydropower plants (expanding). Expansion can be achieved in multiple ways, such as by using more water (for example...
...eForFuel, an exciting EU-funded research and innovation initiative that seeks to provide a sustainable replacement of fossil fuels by using electricity and microorganisms to convert CO2 into renewable fuels. eForFuel is a Horizon 2020 EU project launched in March 2018 and scheduled to run for the next 4 years...
Netherlands) and SINTEF (Norway) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop and market their joint services on a number of fields of technology. The agreement was signed by Mrs Tini Colijn, member of the TNO Board of Management and Mrs. Unni M. Steinsmo, President and CEO of SINTEF...
Intelligent hearing protection and communications equipment – in the same earplug! QuietPro distinguishes sound from noise. Soldiers were the first users of the Norwegian invention. Former SINTEF scientist Jarle Svean, one of the progenitors of the product, tests it in an Army armoured personnel carrier...
...interaction between myself and this iPad which does not require me to touch the display", says Petter Risholm at SINTEF ICT. The basic technology has been around for several years, and he is now working with his colleague Jens Thielemann to extend the function to enable them to select and move objects on the...

...procedural interfaces. The use of such shapes downstream the information flow is frequently hampered by the bulk or complexity of the representation, and in some cases by limited access to the methods implemented below the procedural interface. These types of representations also occur naturally in many...
Collect sea trial data (for manoeuvring tests and normal operation) and compare these to outcomes from numerical simulation models. Use sea trial data to improve simulation models. Short WP description: Perform different shallow water model test (captive and/or free-sailing) to collect data needed for...
Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences was established in 1968 as the only independent scientific institution in Poland, and one of only eight in the world, devoted entirely to the research in catalysis and chemistry of interfaces. Among 60 persons of scientific staff...
...further develop and adapt the model to be used in design of wind turbine cast iron components. In addition the lack of knowledge about the connection between casting defects and fatigue properties is an obstacle for cost reduction in the iron foundries. It is probable that todays requirements and specifications...
...atmosphere. SINTEF and NTNU has a strong CCS research community. Since 1986, when Erik Lindeberg from SINTEF, proposed to store CO2 offshore, this has been a big research topic at both institutions. We have worked together with the industry to increase capture rate, developed more cost-efficient and safe CO2 transport...
...intelligence and simulations. Even though it has never seen a salmon fillet in the real world, it still manages to grasp it and hold it correctly. It is even able to do this with other fragile food items, such as lettuce, strawberries, and tomatoes. Image and video: SINTEF Ocean/TYD Standard More and more...
At GHGT-14 (Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies conference) in October, FME NCCS had seven oral presentations and 6 poster presentations. https://blog.sintef.com/sintefenergy/ccs/nccs-at-ghgt-14/ ...
International Maritime-Port Technology and Development Conference or MTEC 2017 will be held from 26 to 28 Apr 2017 in Singapore. MTEC is conference series currently held alternately between Singapore and Norway biennially. MTEC2017 will be organised by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA),...
Environmental information about CO2, airborne dust and pollen will no longer be collected only at isolated measuring stations. From now on, cyclists, bus drivers and the man in the street will be able to do their bit. By Åse Dragland “At present, environmental measurements are made using expensive stations...
