...completely unmanned ship by looking at the need for new sensor systems, improved maintenance methods, legislation, environmental friendliness, communications and shore support functions. At the half-way mark, the project has come to the conclusion that there are no fundamental obstacles, but that a good deal...
...algal situation at any time in relation to risk assessment and risk reduction in daily operations. The main factors that affect when and where blooms occur are stable bodies of water (layered), and that the algae have access to sufficient light and noutrients. Some algae are harmful to fish, either because...
OptiFLEX will investigate the interaction between very large rotors (>20MW), towers and the floater supporting them, to precisely understand vibrations, mitigate fatigue and avoid failure. The cost of floating wind turbines is still significantly higher than that of e.g. bottom-fixed wind turbines....
...the solution. Plastic is a popular packaging material but poses major environmental challenges related to waste, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. To reduce pollution and emissions, it is necessary to find alternative packaging materials to reduce the use of plastic. Norwegian agriculture produces...
...low-cost electrolysers and batteries. Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) remain plagued by either low stability in an alkaline environment or low ionic conductivities. To overcome these challenges, careful consideration of the chemical structure of both the polymer backbone and the cationic head group...
The COLDIGIT project will investigate how innovative digital tools and approaches can support governance of complex societal processes in the Nordic region. COLDIGIT is about using Collective Intelligence (CI) in civic participation. CI is created when people work together, often with the help of technology...
...application for collecting and analysing productivity data from tunnel construction. The abundancy of data collection systems and user interfaces complicates an analysis of productivity in tunnelling activity. Valuable performance information is overseen due to the scattered and fragmented practice of today...
Overweight and obesity is a growing problem in Norway and in the rest of the world, and the expenses for the community related to obesity are big. Specialists feel that obesity patients often have little insight into their illness and health, and believes that one can achieve better efficacy of treatment...
...how to build a cost-efficient grid in the North and Baltic Seas. As such, it is a compelling milestone in the development of a secure, interconnected European power system, able to integrate increasing amounts of renewable energy. The need for cleaner and safer energy supplies to counter climate change...
...manufactures 12 - 40.5 kV compact, gas insulated switchgears for the world market. Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas is used as the electrical insulation- and current interruption medium. However, since SF6 is an extremely strong "greenhouse gas", restrictions on its use are anticipated. Short-circuit current...
...integrated nature and co-ordinated approach will accelerate the research development and deployment of offshore wind, wave, tidal and combined energy technologies and help maintain Europe as a global leader in this industry. In addition, MARINERG-i will strengthen European, scientific and engineering excellence...
...the design and development of an automated system for anode change operations in the aluminium smelting industry. AlumatIQ is an automated system for anode change operations in the aluminium smelting industry. The AlumatIQ system handles the full anode change operation, from opening and closing of oven...
...technical and economic problems of the power systems. These problems might arise due to unpredictability of wind power or due to unbalance between local power demand and intermitting power produced causing grid instabilities. The main objective of this project is to investigate these problems and to develop...
...on water and helicopters’ subsequent seaworthiness. Very few test facilities anywhere in the world perform tests of this sort today. A large number of tests under severe weather conditions were performed, involving such important parameters as weight, centre of gravity, moment of inertia and buoyancy...
...measurement qualities, ESA requires a compact, simple, robust and low-power design. Researchers at SINTEF have more than 15 years of experience in development of 3D cameras. The spinoff-company Zivid provides world-class 3D cameras for industrial robotics and quality measurements. These cameras use Digital Micromirror...
...has the potential to become faster, smaller and operate at higher power than existing options. Power electronics (PE) play an important role in the collection, delivery and storage of energy, and is a key enabler for energy efficiency, renewable energy and smart grids. Silicon-based PE components have...
...nationally and internationally. A sustainable façade is not just a buzzword, but a solution needed in the construction sector - as today's European buildings are responsible for the 40% of the energy usage and 36% of the CO2 emissions. Driven by the recent technology developments in the Contech and Proptech...
SESAR Joint Undertaking under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 874472. The JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and the SESAR JU members other than the Union. A new software developed by...
...combining machine learning and physics-based modelling, we can get the best from both worlds – in models that utilize the information that lies in the data while respecting the laws of nature. The majority of Norwegian industries are still a long way from being able to adopt AI and machine learning methods...
Structural reliable offshore floating pv solution integrating circular concrete floating breakwater. The SUREWAVE project aims to develop and test an innovative Floating Photo-Voltaic (FPV) system for offshore environments.
