...of the power system. Examples include the integration of electricity derived from renewable sources, industrial and household loads, HVDC transmission and the electrification of the oil and gas sector. Growth in the importance of reliable energy conversion components to society as a whole is thus on the...
...to minimise non productive time during drilling. SINTEF provides rock mechanics knowledge and tools for selecting a safe mud weight and optimal well path. Over the last 30 years, SINTEF has developed knowledge and tools towards the improvement of borehole stability: Methods for characterization of shales...
To realize the prospected growth in salmon aquaculture, new technologies and methods are needed to develop effective waste handling and effective feed-loops. Salmon aquaculture is based on the use of high-quality fish feed, and although being an efficient food production method, it is estimated that...
Tomorrow’s electrical power system must be able to handle greater variations in power and energy flows, as well as the introduction of new smart components and technologies. This means that both the power system itself, and its operation, are in a state of change, at the same time as the impact of climate...
The amount of demand response and distribution generation from renewable energy sources will increase in the future distribution grid, at the same time as the grid should be robust and reliable. ICT technology will to a larger scale monitor and control the grid. In the future distribution grid, the energy...
The facilities can be adapted to test and validate a variety of flow components, instrumentation and equipment. Normal instrumentation is a wide range of flow meters, pressuretransducers for pressure gradient measurements, temperature probes and gamma densitometers for holdup measurements. In addition...
SINTEF do research and develop solutions for new and improved ultrasound imaging in connection with the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of clinical applications, such as neurosurgery, laparoscopic surgery, endovascular procedures, bronchoscopy, bone and MR-guided focused ultrasound treatment. We...
SINTEF and NTNU have developed a new method for agile programming named SafeScrum. The method will be further developed in the next years. Read more: SafeScrum...
...planning and monitoring the operation itself and being a tool for making near-future predictions to identify possible dangers as a means of reducing operational risk. Complex marine operations require high real-time situational awareness and monitoring to carry out the mission in a safe and energy-efficient...
...meant a lot for Norwegian industry and Norway's welfare. From hydropower inroads until today there has been a significant development in the analysis of impacts of hydropower development. SINTEF has for decades participated in this development through research and are constantly seeking answers to new...
...the surface of the skin and deep into the body. It can be compared with the GPS in a car. It makes surgery safer and in many cases less invasive. By connecting the CT or MR images taken before surgery, with the patient during surgery, the surgeon can plan the operation better and avoid damaging important...
...oil discharges happen and need quick and adequate response in order to reduce the environmental consequences. SINTEF has developed solution-oriented competence within oil spill contingency which is nationally and international demanded. A good understanding of the physical and chemical properties of...
Seaweed faming captures large CO2-amounts and by replacing products from feedstocks with big climate footprint the overall CO2 emissions may be reduced. However, we also need to remove CO2 from the biosphere and for that we develop nature-based climate solutions and climate positive products that ensure...
...35 years of multiphase flow and flow assurance research, combined with outstanding experimental facilities and the combined competence of SINTEF, put us in a prime position to assist in field development studies. New specific knowledge can be obtained through tailored experimental campaigns. This knowledge...
...electricity production levels and prices are determined via a market statement based on supply and demand bids provided by electricity producers and suppliers, and the major electricity consumers. In the case of electricity producers, an effective bidding strategy requires a thorough and comprehensive analysis...
Thermal systems are comprised of components for heat and/or cold production, distribution, consumption and storage. A thermal system can be a local heating or cooling network for a construction area, or an industrial heat or cooling grid for distribution of thermal energy in a factory or between different...
Open-source software is ubiquitous and is driving the current digital revolution. At SINTEF, we view the use of open-source software as the most effective means to expedite innovation and technology transfer within computational methods from academia to industry Digitalization often emphasizes data accessibility...
...(IGA) is to improve the interoperability between design, i.e., Computer Aided Design (CAD) and analysis, i.e., Finite Element Method (FEM). To achieve this IGA use CAD mathematical primitives, i.e., splines and NURBS, to represent both the finite element (FE) geometry as well as the Partial Differential...
...demonstration and scale up of advanced reactor concepts for decarbonization of the industrial and energy sectors. The investigated technologies cover adsorption-based CO2 capture, chemical looping for power and hydrogen production with integrated CO2 capture, and pyrolysis for combined hydrogen and carbon production...
...nanotechnology to prevent, diagnose and treat illness. SINTEF collaborates with industry and research organisations to develop nanomedicines for hard-to-treat diseases ranging from cancer to severe infections. We formulate and encapsulate drugs for efficient delivery and optimal effect, offer advanced characterization...
