...time and/or space and are widely used in science and engineering. These methods have seen significant development in recent years and are applied across a diverse range of fields. SINTEF is a leader in the development of multiscale methods for simulating complex geoenergy processes such as oil and gas...
...energy losses related to this, and more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for the use of tap water in different building types. Buildings stand for one-third of the energy consumption in Norway. The share of energy used to heat water is significant, and expected to increase as buildings...
...increasing demand for clean and environmentally friendly transportation options. According to the Norwegian National Transport Plan 2014–2023, any growth in passenger traffic in urban areas must be climate-neutral. SINTEF researches what influences our travel behavior and how we can encourage more people...
...solar power. Planar collectors are well suited for hot water production and space heating, while concentrated power can be used to produce steam and high-temperature heat for industrial use, power production or in CCS (carbon capture and storage). The exploitation of solar heat has a high potential to reduce...
...solutions to optimization problems and spend less time and effort in finding it. The potential gains are huge. To automate an optimization process, one must develop a model that captures all essential characteristics of the application in the form of variables, objectives, and constraints. An optimization...
SINTEF can certify safety critical systems and advanced safety related equipment according to the standard series IEC 61508. Read more: Ceritification IEC 61508...
... with water used as the reactive medium. During the process, the feedstock decomposes forming solids, a liquid phase, consisting of aqueous and oily streams and a small amount of gas. It is ideal for processing wet biomass since large thermal energy savings can be achieved by avoiding the drying step...
SINTEF Minalab has been a pioneer in the development and manufacturer of silicon radiation sensors for space and scientific applications since the 1980s. For space applications, the team has developed and fabricated sensors for imaging telescope and radiation monitoring. Amongst our most recent development...
...on the use of unconventional fuels (rich in hydrogen) and new oxidizers like oxyfuel mixtures which are common in power and industrial technologies with CO2 Capture and Sequestration (CCS). We also support the development of new CCS concepts and bring them to pilot testing as we do for the promising...
...arbeidsmiljøet og at prosessen, hvordan man gjør endringen, er viktig for å få til en rettferdig og robust endring. Kontaktperson: Thale Kvernberg Andersen Team- og ledelsesutvikling For å løse mange av virksomhetens oppgaver kreves det ofte tett og gjensidig samarbeid mellom medarbeidere med ulik erfaring...
...environmental impact of a product or a building throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction, transport, production, and use to disposal. SINTEF uses the method in research projects and in preparing environmental declarations (EPD). Are you a producer? Feel free to contact us for an offer on EPD on your...
We work directly with design of algorithms and their efficient implementation on modern GPU architectures. This requires a deep understanding of the hardware and the problem area. We are particularly interested in making computational software that clearly isolates the numerics from the parallelization...
In IMTA, a minimum of two aquatic species from different trophic levels (e.g salmon and kelp) are farmed in an integrated fashion to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and provide ecosystem services. Macroalgae (seaweed) aquaculture can potentially remove over 75,000 tons of nitrogen per year by producing...
...commercialization faces obstacles such as relatively high CAPEX and concerns regarding safety and sustainability, particularly regarding the toxicity and corrosiveness of vanadium. SINTEF is central in pioneering advancements in chemistry and flow system designs to unlock the full potential of flow batteries...
Railway systems are large, complex and much interconnected organisms. Because of such complexity, of their huge cost and tremendous impact on society, they need to be carefully planned in every phase - strategic, tactical and operational. However, planning and operating railway transportation systems...
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 important for their population development. It is important to understand the ecological challenges faced by the...
Sports leagues and tournaments around the world must be scheduled on a daily basis by thousands of sport federations, associations, clubs and organizers, both professional and non-professional. Sports scheduling mainly consists in determining the date and the venue in which the games of a tournament...
...fuses data from part design, function and process simulation, and process monitoring for supporting quality control and certification of parts. The cost of using additive manufacturing is largely controlled by the weight/volume of the object to be produced, and thus the time it takes to build the part...
...management and management of Lean processes. Our strength is that we adapt Lean work within companies to the current situation and degree of Lean-maturity. All of our Lean-consultants have extensive practical experience in line management and management of Lean processes in various Norwegian and international...
The design, operation, and maintenance of energy systems are complex tasks for which there is a need for better decision support systems. Great savings and increased service levels may be achieved by exploiting technologies from the domains of artificial intelligence and optimization. The need for better...
