... SINTEF and REV Ocean signed a partnership agreement that aims to strengthen their cooperation to solve challenges for the oceans. - Through this partnership we are even better equipped to find solutions to the great challenges that lie ahead. Kjell Inge Røkkes private investment in REV and ocean research...
...prioritized research area and constantly developed numerical and experimental methods for design and verification of offshore wind turbines SINTEF offers several services related to offshore wind turbines. 1. Global analysis, conceptual evaluation and design optimization: Experimental and theoretical studies...
The first and only international and scientific conference dedicated to autonomous ship technology and applications was held in Busan, Korea, in November 2018. In 2019 it will be held in Trondheim, Norway. The proceedings from the International Conference on Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (ICMASS...
The expansion and upgrade of existing hydropower plants represents a possible alternative to wind farm development. So-called environmental design makes it possible to conserve natural habitats while at the same time generating renewable energy profitably. Photo: alxpin/iStock Standard The heated debate...
...industrial and commercial buildings. The damage assessments end in a well-documented damage report, which among other things, describes the cause of the damage and suggestions for repair. Condition- and damage analyses also provide a basis for approval criteria for various product categories and instructions...
...properly. But we managed it at last, and the model tests went extremely well. It was exciting to test the system to its limits and to see how heavy winds and waves we could subject the model to. We have now performed tests that no-one else has ever carried out, and we are proud of that," says MARINTEK...
...pushes the boundaries of autonomous drones. Mobile and autonomous sensor systems constitute a priority area at SINTEF. We offer a large range of relevant technologies and competence within this field for mobile and autonomous systems in the air, on ground and under water. MAsens is a three year strategic...
...cages with a diameter of 157 meters, is time consuming and dangerous work. Now researchers from SINTEF is developing an underwater robot that can perform systematic and effective cleaning and inspection and also be able to repair damage to the nets and prevent escapes. Underwater robots, or ROVs (Remotely...
...outsourcing may influence upon organizations’ ability to prevent sickness absence and exclusion from working life. Outsourcing refers to a business strategy where organizations focus on their core competencies and activities and buy ancillary services from supplier companies. Increased use of outsourcing...
...behind-the-meter in households and on commercial buildings. However, the power grid was historically not designed to accommodate distributed energy production, which involves both technical and economic challenges. Local Energy Communities may be an important tool to solve these challenges and enable the efficient...
Medium-voltage gas-insulated switches are crucial for the safety and operation of power grids, but many current solutions, which use SF6 gas and PFAS materials, pose significant environmental risks Presently, most switchgears are filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as the insulation medium, which...
Establish the knowledge basis and methodologies necessary for developing a socio-economically favourable and robust coupled offshore and onshore grid. In May 2022 the Norwegian government announced an ambition to award areas for 30 GW offshore wind power by 2040. This implies the development of an offshore...
...operate and maintain an increasing base of critical infrastructure including electrical substations. SINTEF has developed methods for autonomous drones which could in the future contribute to asset management. Testing of novel prototype solution for autonomous drones With Statnett as a client and forward-leaning...
...hydrocarbon recovery based on a description of the reservoir, the fluid dynamics, well controls, and couplings to surface facilities. In model-building workflows it is often desirable to determine volumetric connections and the main flow paths at a stage in the process where all the data necessary to perform a...
...resources, and enhanced durability via multiple interactions with ions in seawater. The project enables new technology and novel adhesives for seawater adhesion in marine operations. By developing environmentally friendly adhesives from materials derived from plants that facilitate fast adhesion and long-lasting...
...discretization of the pressure equation, and a transport solver based on explicit time stepping. This was the original formulation in the vertical average module. Using fractional height ( ) as primary variable, a standard two-point discretization for the pressure equation, and the standard implicit transport...
...focus in this research area is on development and application of an active distribution grid planning framework, emphasising data, methods, and tools able to support inclusion of flexibility measures, dealing with existing and new uncertainties and risks, and ensuring security of supply. Risk assessment...
...credible set of Smart Grid visions and scenarios as input to the other work packages in CINELDI, and as a basis for fostering new ideas and innovation. This research area will also develop guidelines and recommendations for the transition to the flexible, robust, and cost-efficient electricity distribution...
