Computational geometry is the research field that relates to the shape, description, and properties of physical objects. SINTEF Oslo has been a key player in this field for five decades. Read more: Computational Geometry...
...waste heat, heat from energy storage, and steam power generation. We also perform optimisation with regards to footprint to enable the retrofit integration of solar heating in existing industrial processes. In addition to process design, we have the expertise to model and design specific components required...
Micro-opto-electromechanical ... systems with structures in the micro- to millimeter range whose purposes are to manipulate light. Today's MOEMS devices include waveguides, moving mirrors and diffractive gratings....
...constant state of change. We generate scenarios for a future Nordic and European energy system, taking the energy sector's "green" revolution into account. The scenarios are based on a large-scale integration of renewable energy sources and will enable our clients to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas...
...any other country. Both the industry and the households have had access to electrical energy. In Norway it is common to use electrical energy for space heating, and the electricity consumption per inhabitants is among the highest in the world. From an environmental and energy efficiency point of view it...
...travel behaviour across transportation modes and demographics must be considered. SINTEF has extensive experience conducting travel behaviour studies. Our organization has received acknowledgment for our expertise in processes governing transportation needs and travel behaviours. We work within the following...
...samples and through numerical simulations tailored to study logging through casing. In order to improve shale-bond logging interpretation, we perform laboratory experiments on hollow cylinder shale samples with acoustic logging in a cased hole, permeability measurement in the annulus, and stress and pressure...

...development of the quality of supply in such a way that the companies will be better off by balancing their internal costs and quality of supply towards a socio-economic optimum. Power cuts and voltage disruptions cost Norwegian end users approximately NOK 1 - 1.5 billion annually....
...ships) and marine operations. The results from such simulations can be applied to ship design, system design, digital twins, decision support, operation planning, control systems, and more. Put briefly, co-simulation consists of making separate software modules that represent different subsystems and coupling...
...it possible to meet the future demand for feed and food, we develop methods and technology for an industrial production of low-trophic animals. The growth of marine low-trophic animals is fueled by energy from primary producers (microalgae and seaweed) and/or waste from other animals. Some examples of...
...nuisance is through good planning, noise minimisation, and taking account of people's reactions to noise. The Acoustics group has great experience and state of the art knowledge about noise from outdoor sources like the transportation sector, industry and military activities. Our expertise covers all aspects...

Within the EU regulatory concerning rail traffic, the DeBo role is covered in relevant Directives (in Directive 2008/57/EC, with amendment 2014/106/EU: Article 17 (3) and Annex V, and in Directive (EU) 2016/797: Article 45 and Annex IV). The result from...
SINTEF assesses, designs, and builds electrotechnical components based on superconductors. In addition, both conductor and insulation materials are characterized at cryogenic temperatures. Our services: Cooled down to temperatures of 77 K (-196°C) or lower, superconductors carry electric currents that...
...nonlinear algebraic equations encountered in numerical simulators that discretize partial differential equations. The method is formally second order and efficient unless the algebraic system contains nonlinear stiffness, in the sense that a subset of equations imposes strong constraints on the solution...
...rooted in the service architecture, and may therefore be expensive to fix if they remain undetected. SINTEF develops methods for analysing the scalability of services. The CloudScale project (coordinated by SINTEF - see www.cloudscale-project.eu) developed methods and tools to assess the scalability of...
...infrastructure. Use of satellite navigation technologies for aviation provides substantial benefits to both the service providers, as well as the individual and combined user communities. SINTEF's main focus area in this domain is Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) development for low visibility operations...
What is SF6, what is it used for, and why should we find replacements? What is SF6? SF6, or sulphur hexafluoride, is a man-made gas that is an extremely good electrical insulator and current interrupting medium. The gas is mainly used in high-voltage switchgears in the electric power grid . SF6: What...
