Det knyttes for tiden store forventninger til nye kvanteteknologiske gjennombrudd. I år setter FN spesielt søkelys på kvantefysikkens revolusjonerende bidrag. Men hva er denne mystiske vitenskapen?...
Newly developed and future instruments display more and more sensitivity to contamination. Although current monitoring methods allow the punctual and ex-situ estimation of the deposited contamination levels on sensitive surfaces, it does not exist dedicated means to measure in situ and real-time the...
Lecture for master students at the Ocean Leadership programme at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, on marine plastic pollution - governance challenges. ...
Rapporten har som hovedmål å presentere kunnskap om bruk av fjernarbeid på sokkelen. Med fjernarbeid forstås endringer i industrielle kontroll- og sikkerhetssystemer på tvers av geografisk avstand. Rapporten belyser HMS-konsekvenser relatert til fjernarbeid på innretninger, landanlegg og borerigger...
Energy markets are evolving to meet environmental challenges, such as the European Union's (EU) ambition to become the first net-zero continent by 2050. A critical component in this transition is the decarbonization of the electricity sector, which requires a significant shift towards renewable...
The paper makes an assessment of the gradual transition to electric propulsion of vessels involved in coastal fishing nearby the Lofoten archipelago, one of the principal fishing grounds in Norway. The study considers the electrification from the power grid perspective and develops a methodology for...
Background: An increasing number of commercial firms are participating in Open Source Software (OSS) projects to reduce their development cost and increase technical innovativeness. When collaborating with other firms whose sought values are conflicts of interests, firms may behave uncooperatively...
Ammonia-based fuels have been identified as a promising alternative as zero-carbon energy carriers due to their high energy density and simpler logistics compared to hydrogen. As a disadvantage, the presence of fuel-bound nitrogen can lead to order of magnitude higher emissions of undesired nitric...
The floating foundations of FOWTs cause turbine motions that introduce new unknowns to the field of wind turbine wake estimation, that again leads to uncertainties in the load and power estimation of wake affected turbines. Recent studies have shown significant effects of floater motions on power...
TimeStruct.jl is a Julia (Bezanson et al., 2017) package that provides an interface for abstracting time structures, primarily intended for use with the mathematical programming DSL JuMP.jl (Lubin et al., 2023). TimeStruct.jl simplifies the writing of key equations in optimization problems through...
