What is solar thermal? Roughly half of the world's energy need comes in the form of thermal energy – heating, cooling or steam. When energy is needed in the form of heat, it is more...

Electrification of the transport sector is key to reaching the national and international targets for reduction of local and global emissions. Large-scale electrification of transport on road,...

Drying is one of the oldest and most used processes in humankind and enables e.g. to store food over longer periods of time. The main reason for drying is to extend the shelf life of a product and...

Flow assurance is an engineering discipline covering all the fluid related knowledge and technology required to ensure that hydrocarbon reservoir fluids are safely and economically transported to...

Fish ladders are constructed to enable fish to swim up past migration barriers. Such barriers may be natural or artificial and the aim is to provide the fish with access to areas which are...

It is a challenge to obtain reliable measures of the quality of the cement bond through the casing. This is needed to identify the potential sealing sections. SINTEF works on improving shale-bond...

Better understanding of storage capacity, injectivity and long-term effects of the stored CO₂ is a must for establishing commercial storage operations. We investigate the mechanical and physical...

Sand production may create serious operational problems such as well loss and erosion of pipelines and process facilities, as well as environmental and safety problems. A common solution is to...

CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) in geological reservoirs will be important in reducing total carbon emissions, but injectivity problems arise at many storage sites. Scaled-down laboratory injection...

We investigate rock physical and mechanical properties, parameters and processes for reservoir and overburden. We can perform tests under near in-situ conditions in our specialized laboratory. In...

The increasing share of renewable energy (wind, solar) can create imbalances and major challenges for the Transmission System Operators (TSOs) The TSOs are responsible for the...

A self-sustaining and secure energy system is one of the main pillars of future society. The energy system (generation, transmission, demand) will become more decentralised with production taking...

Drying of food (thermal processing of meat, fish, vegetables and seaweed / kelp) is the most important method of preservation in the world. Drying gives a stable product with a longer shelf life...

According to the Norwegian National Transport Plan 2014–2023, all expected growth in urban passenger traffic is projected to increase through use of public transportation, enhanced opportunities...

SINTEF has gained considerable experience in data acquisition from vehicle sensor units. Based on data collected from smartphones, we can obtain motion data of vulnerable road users (e.g....

A power transformer is a complex apparatus with windings, core, tap-changer, bushings etc., designed and manufactured for many years of operation in a power system. SINTEF has know-how and runs...

The conversion of electrical energy using power electronics has assumed an increasingly important role in various aspects of the power system. Examples include the integration of electricity...

Transportation will be electric in the future. It can come from pure electric operating from batteries or via conversion of hydrogen in a fuel cell. Also hybrid solutions are a possibility....

HVDC technologies have the greatest potential for the transmission of high-voltage electricity over very long distances. For this reason, HVDC transmission is playing a gradually increasing role...

The connection of offshore wind farms to the grid is an important research field because while the process is currently responsible for a large proportion of costs, the potential for cost...
