I arbeidet med Nasjonal transportplan 2022-2033 jobber transportetatene og Avinor mot Regjeringens mål om et transportsystem som er sikkert, fremmer verdiskapning og bidrar til omstilling til lavutslippssamfunnet og Norges klimaforpliktelser. Det er i den forbindelse behov for en oppdatering av...

A novel vapor-compression system concept employing carbon dioxide as the refrigerant is proposed to serve the needs of a typical medium-size refrigerated truck used for multi-temperature (MT and LT) goods delivery. The system design is based on the implementation of an ejector as the only component...

The motions of a free floating offshore wind turbine’s (OWT) spar-type platform inside a bottom-less moored cylindrical dock are investigated for incident wave frequencies near the first lateral sloshing resonance, focusing on surge on pitch motions. The radiation and diffraction problems of the two...

The Flexbuild project aimed to understand how end-use flexibility could impact the future energy system in Norway. This initiative brought together industrial partners, public organizations, universities, and research institutions to investigate various aspects of energy flexibility. To achieve its...

The process for formulating a new treaty for ‘Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction’ (BBNJ) has been long. Since informal discussions began in 2004, the international community has devoted nearly 20 years to setting the agenda, circumscribing the issue areas, and negotiating the terms of a...

Sedimentation in hydro-power reservoirs can cause adverse outcomes such as damage to components or unexpected downtime. The STRIVAN research project aims to develop a risk-based model to quantify and compare the net present value of mitigation measures. Quantifying risks involves calculating the...

The growing world population requires large, renewable sources of nutritional food. Fish and other marine resources are nutrient dense and rich in healthy marine omega-3 lipids (EPA and DHA) beneficial to humans and animals alike. However, only about 6% of current fisheries are underexploited...

Fibre ropes offer beneficial properties for mooring of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). However, the mooring line’s stiffness is both load-history and load-rate dependent. A quasi-static stiffness is observed for slow loading, with a higher stiffness related to rapid, cyclic loading (dynamic...
