CCS Value Chain
CCS chains are case and scenario sensitive, and each case often requires individual design for reaching the optimal solution. The main objective is to develop a consistent and transparent...
Transmission systems

A transmission system consists of overhead lines and underground cables, combined with power transformers for voltage level conversion. It represents the backbone of any modern electrical power...
Flexible distribution grid
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....
Rehabilitation of hydropower plants
In a changing market, knowing the best time to rehabilitate your hydropower plant can present a major challenge. Effective analytical tools will help you make sound decisions. Our software can be...
Liquefaction of hydrogen
SINTEF is working with both the liquefaction of hydrogen and value chains in which liquid hydrogen is incorporated into either part or the whole of the chain in question. In particular, hydrogen...
Mechanics and structural engineering
We work with research and development activities in mechanics and structural engineering, where the goal is to find component- and design solutions that utilize material properties and design...
Indoor Climate
A good indoor climate in homes, schools and workplaces is the basis for health, well-being, and high productivity. Our expertise is to develop reliable and affordable solutions to reduce...
Fire safety in buildings
We offer research-based consultancy, calculations, analysis and assessments to ensure that fire safety solutions in buildings comply with regulations and standards. We also do research on fire...
CO2 storage simulation
Injection of CO2 in geological formations is the major option for the final step in CCS (CO2 Capture and Storage). The Reservoir Technology group has since before 1990 been developing technology...
Paleo-residual oil
In certain geologic and hydrodynamic settings, an additional residual oil zone exists below the traditionally defined base (oil-water contact) of an oil reservoir. These residual oil zones exist...
Thermodynamics

We are working to determine and predict the transport-related and thermodynamic properties of fluids. This knowledge is essential in order to optimize design and operation of processing equipment...
Safety management
Safety management has to do with the improvement of safety culture, work processes and decicion-making processes in public and private organizations. SINTEF develops knowledge, methods and tools...
Power markets
On the power exchange Nord Pool power prices are calculated every hour in different areas on daily basis. Through Nordel transmission system operators in Scandinavia are cooperating closely, and...
Earth electrode systems

SINTEF Energy Research has extensive experience in performing measurements and calculations of power frequency and high frequency conditions of electrode systems. For large earthing systems the...

SINTEF has extensive expertise and experience in the field of power distribution grid analysis. Our experience and assignments range from the modelling and design of small and isolated...
Well Integrity

It is important to ensure well integrity throughout the life-cycle of the well. At SINTEF, we are working with understanding and predicting failure of well barriers, as well as understanding how...
Plugging materials

Plug and abandonment (P&A) is the final stage of a well's lifetime, and the objective of P&A operations is to seal the well for eternity. Long-term integrity of plugging materials is a...
