...allocation of responsibility for the climate change adaptation of buildings and infrastructure among key agencies in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France and Canada. The report presents the various natural perils insurance and compensation schemes prevailing in these countries with the aim of revealing...
...grid dimensioning capacity might be determined by the PV peak generation rather than by the peak load (depending on the choice of the thermal system and the expected load from electric vehicles, not considered here). The heating system for the Zero Village Bergen is not yet decided, since this will be...
...concrete, or its ability to move through pipes and hoses by the help of a pump while maintaining its fresh and hardened properties, can be quantified as being better the lower the necessary pressure to obtain a given flow in a specific configuration and set-up (pump type, -capacity, pipes/hoses, –diameter/length...
...provided that the necessary unilateral declarations are deposited from Norway and Sweden to IMO and that Sweden and Norway enter a bilateral agreement on the matter. Economic incentives for CCS include the EU-ETS for fossil CO2 and the Swedish support for Bio-CCS through reverse auctioning....
The focus of the project "Methods of aggregation and disaggregation" are improved mathematical methods and computer tools for aggregation and disaggregation of hydro power systems in optimization models. These techniques are necessary for calculating the optimal utilisation of hydropower production...
...propagation of seismic airgun signals in the water column and to forecast the effect such signals and noise may have on fish and animals in the sea. The model used is the PlaneRay model, a model based on ray theory that can deal with range-dependent bathymetry and depth-dependent sound speed variations. The seismo-acoustic...
The Node, Edge, and Arc Routing Problem (NEARP) was defined by Prins and Bouchenoua in 2004 along with the first benchmark called CBMix. The NEARP generalizes the classical Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP), the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP), and the General Routing Problem. It is also...
Degradation and corrosion of amine solutions in post combustion CO2 capture plants increases the cost of the process due to operational problems, the need for high quality material in the plant and reduction of the solvent's CO2 capacity. A literature review over degradation and corrosion in CO2 capture...
A standardized small-scale weathering and dispersibility study has been conducted on Heidrun Åre crude oil from 2023 at 13 °C. The dispersibility testing was included to estimate the viscosity limits and time window for dispersant use. The obtained laboratory data were further used as input to the SINTEF...
The NORA10 and SVIM archives for winds and currents in Norwegian coastal water have been converted to the HYD format. This report contains the import routines for this conversion, and gives a quality assurance of the imported HYD format as read by the OSCAR model....
This study looks at the challenges and opportunities in the deep energy renovation market with prefab elements. An analysis of 39 European projects was conducted, and the results where structured in three topics. It clearly emerges from this analysis that finding the “composition” of the recipe of a...
HyLINE project. The base metals and weld simulated heat affected zones of four pipeline steels, in four different positions of the pipes, have been tested under in-situ electrochemically charged hydrogen conditions and in air as a reference. Metallurgical characterization and hardness testing has also been...
...providers need to claim privacy awareness and document compliance with regulations or face devastating fines. One approach to address these concerns is to use methods specifically developed to assess privacy risks of ITS. The literature lacks such methods, and the complex and dynamic nature of ITS introduces...
Avinor har gitt SINTEF i oppdrag å foreta en støykartlegging av Sandane lufthamn, Anda, etter Miljøverndepartementets retningslinje T-1442/2016. Beregning av støy er utført med NORTIM 4.5 som tar hensyn til topografien ved beregning av lydutbredelse. Det er gjort beregninger for gjennomført trafikk...
This research project is a study of the nature of abuse, violence and neglect against women with disabilities in Malawi. The childhood as well as the present situation of 23 women with disabilities in Blantyre district is described. Data was collected in two ways: a) Through in-depth individual interviews...
...their land-based counterparts. Among other issues, this cost discrepancy is in large part due to the increased turbine size, complexity, installation and connection to shore over long distances. It is then clear that costs have to be reduced significantly to facilitate offshore wind development. Hence...
