...systems to detect and identify problems in the high-voltage power transmission and distribution system, before the problems escalate and cause blackouts or destruction of expensive equipment. The power system is equipped with a number of sensors that constantly register the power and current flowing through...
...zero-emission rail solutions in Norway and collaborating with the USA, SINTEF partnered up with several Czech institutions to investigate the potential for zero-emission trains in Czechia. SINTEF had previously investigated the potential for zero-emission trains in Norway and USA, and applying our method to Czechia...
...well, as well as starts and stops in the injection, affect the risk of clogging. CO2 storage projects involve the pumping CO2 from injection wells into porous underground rock formations. An important prerequisite is that the injection can be done in a safe and efficient manner, and this requires sufficient...
This report demonstrates analyses and descriptive presentations of the efforts in man-labour years within municipal psychiatric health work during the years 2007 to 2012. In 2012, 11 995 total man-labour years within municipal psychiatric health work was reported on a national level. 22 % of the man-labour...
...resource-efficient stabling and shunting in train yards. Rail transport yards are bottlenecks We often imagine trains speeding along tracks, but the rolling stock spends indeed a significant amount of time stationary at various points in the railway network. On average, train units spend between 20 and 40 per cent...
...of the protection not being released during short circuiting is hot conductors and components, which in turn could cause fire. The cost of strengthening the network to a sufficient grid strength is estimated at between 9 and 33 billion NOK. The main idea behind the OptiNett project is to reduce costs by...
...in the field of 2nd and 3rd generation biofuels via the uniting of leading European research infrastructures. Building upon the success of its FP7 predecessor, BRISK II Networking Activities will consolidate knowledge in the field, reaching out to a wide set of stakeholders and potential users. Databases...
...uncertainty quantification method Quantify CO2 saturation with uncertainty and reduce uncertainty using additional prior information Results First applications of uncertainty quantification for CO2 monitoring (both for CSEM and FWI) On-going work on constraining the inversion for reduced uncertainty Partners:...
...cost reduction compared to today's CO2 capture processes. The concept is based on a standard process for post-combustion CO2 capture using absorption and amine solvents. The main difference is related to the regeneration part of the process. The separation of CO2 from flue gas is first provided through...
Selective and sensitive sensors can be made by tailoring infrared filters to fit the absorption pattern of particular gases. SINTEF is developing tunable multi-line filters using micro-optical and MEMS technology. The resulting sensors can be produced at low cost in high numbers. Each gas has its own...
NanoCarbaOne - Nano-Structured Sensors for Rapid Point-of-Care Detection of Carbapenemase-producing Bacteria to Improve Therapy Selection, AMR control and One Health Implementation Antibiotic resistance is one of the most urgent threats to public health today. Some bacteria have become so resistant that...
...energy, where wind blows steadier and stronger than on land. The TAILWIND project, launched in January 2024, will deliver advanced station-keeping technologies, designed to maintain the position of floating offshore wind energy farms through innovative mooring lines and anchoring systems. The development...
...control itself and the collaboration between wind turbine (WT) and WPP control. To do this, TotalControl will use high-fidelity simulation and design environments that include detailed time resolved flow field modelling, nonlinear flexible multi-body representations of turbines, and detailed power grid...
...in the development of the Norwegian hydropower system. HydroPEAK will develop know-how in order to adapt the Norwegian hydropower system to support and balance the increasing volume of intermittent wind power entering the power system. Different energy sources will need to work together in a system that...
As oil production moves into increasingly deeper waters and more environmentally-sensitive areas, the pipelines carrying the hot well stream to the production platform must be in good condition. The aim of the SmartPipe project is real-time monitoring The monitoring will be done by fitting sensor belts...
...which Heterogeneous Computing research group at SINTEF is collaborating with the Norwegian companies CovertVector and Rendra. The goal is to develop new and efficient solutions for visualizing and accessing BIM (Building Information Model) data directly on the construction site. In the building industry the...
...develop new elastomeric materials for these and other low temperature applications. The behaviour of elastomeric polymers (e.g. rubbers) depends very strongly on their environment. Factors such as temperature, pressure, exposure to aggressive chemicals and the age of the polymers have dramatic impacts...
...transport and utilization of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is increasing in a Norwegian, European and Global context. It is often necessary to transfer LNG in loading arms and lines directly above the sea. Examples include refuelling of LNG-driven ships and passenger ferries and loading and un-loading...
The main objective is to optimize the chemical quality of silicon for siloxane and silicones production in order to boost the process efficiency and productivity. CorSiCa project will develop a numerical tool called Sistruc that predict the intermetallic phase formation during solidification. This tool...
...worldwide reputation for cost efficiency, environmental sustainability and a proven design and construction concept. The design takes advantage of the in-situ rock stress knowledge to properly locate underground infrastructure and minimise steel lining in headrace system, hence providing a much more cost-effective...
