SINTEF projects

Digital Substation (DS) based on the standard IEC 61850 is rather new in Norway; one of the few pilot projects is Furuset substation owned by Statnett.

The aim of the FuChar project is to minimise investment and operating costs related to the grid integration of electric transport, with a focus on high-power charging.

The overall objective of ENERLYTE is to generate knowledge of liquid, polymeric and composite based of electrolytes suitable for high voltage Li-ion batteries.

We study the role of the energy system in the transition to the zero-emission society.

The LowEmission Research Centre will develop new technologies and concepts for offshore energy systems, energy efficiency and integration with renewable power production technologies for application on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

The aim ogf the project is to produce magnetic materials with superior and long-lasting magnetic properties based on high entropy alloys (HEA), using machine learning and additive manufacturing for materials selection and synthesis as well as high...

PANTERA (PAN European Technology Energy Research Approach) is a EU H2020 project aimed at setting up a European forum composed of Research & Innovation stakeholders active in the fields of smart grids, storage and local energy systems, including...

The smart energy ecosystem constitutes the next technological leap of the conventional electrical grid.

This project has now been completed as of September 2023 and this website will no longer be updated. However, all content will still remain available.

Efficient and climate-friendly snowmaking

As many European countries, Norway has still a significant length of non-electrified railways. New technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and batteries can be a better option than expensive catenary lines.

Energy system models are used, among other things, to understand different development pathways for the energy system and their consequences.

Grid Interconnection protocols for largely dispersed minigrids/microgrids for electrification of rural India

Optimal Consumer Response with Future Power Tariffs and Price-Sensitive Electricity Customers

This project will make use of the advancements in silicon micro-machining and modern material deposition to produce novel solid-state neutron detectors featuring 3-dimensional micro-structures filled with neutron converting materials. This approach...

In the research project OxiBat, we aim to design, develop and test new oxide-based all solid-state batteries (ASSB) with long lifetime and low degradation during operation. Development of ASSB is important since these are fireproof and...

Resilient and Probabilistic reliability management of the transmission grid

The main objective of the project is to develop methods for assessing, handling and limiting threats and vulnerabilities arising due to interactions between the SCADA system and other digital systems, in order to maintain the security of supply in...
