SINTEF projects

OPSTRA - Optimal Scheduling for next-generation intelligent TRAnsport systems is a pure research project devoted to develop new mathematical optimization models and algorithms for job-shop scheduling problems arising in transportation. The...

As the only technology that can substantially reduce CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels, CCS is an essential component in essentially all IPCC scenarios that limit global warming to below 2°C.

The objective of MARINERG-i is to become the leading internationally distributed infrastructure in the Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) sector.

The vision of Sharing Neighbourhoods is digitalization towards a socially inclusive and caring neighbourhood. We will investigate the effects of digital collaborative sharing platforms on the social interactions in neighbourhoods, and the new...

The main goal of the OPTIMALS project is to enable multi-material solutions for high-performance aluminium-steel structural components with a total reduction of weight and manufacturing cost.

Future power systems are facing new challenges when traditional thermal generation units are replaced by renewable energy sources with power electronic grid interfaces.

CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) at scale will be critical for reducing the CO₂ emissions and thereby reaching our climate targets. Sharing of reference datasets from pioneering CCS projects is essential to accelerate improved understanding, build...

NorEUnergy II will focus on increasing the mobilization and participation of Norwegian actors in the field of bioenergy, as one of the prioritized scientific areas in the new integrated SET-Plan.

The transformer is one of the key components in any electric power system. Its purpose is to convert between different voltage levels, thereby enabling transmission of power over long distances, and the distribution of power to the end customer. The...

The aim of the project is to develop a standardized wood stove combustion chamber for each industry partner, ultra-flexible and capable of complete and clean combustion independently of the wood stove exterior design, to significantly save...

The project's overall objective is to contribute with new knowledge and practical guidelines that enables energy storage (mainly electric batteries) to be used and integrated into the Norwegian distribution grid.

ABB EPMV in Skien manufactures 12 - 40.5 kV compact, gas insulated switchgears for the world market. Sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆) gas is used as the electrical insulation- and current interruption medium. However, since SF₆ is an extremely strong...

The goal of the project Compact offshore condenser skid is to reduce the weight of such a skid by up to 50 percent.

To transport electric power from power plants to customers, a transformer that converts the voltage into the right level is needed. Large parts of the transformer park in Norway are old and expensive to replace. Tunable Infrared Technologies AS, want...

Modern vehicles contain up to ten different heat-exchangers, sometimes more. Due to advanced requirements with respect to product's characteristics, aluminum brazed products are clearly dominant in the heat-exchanger industry. An increasing demand...

Solving engineering challenges in global response analysis of subsea pipelines, umbilicals and power cables.

The EarlyWarn project will develop AI-based monitoring systems to detect and identify problems in the high-voltage power transmission and distribution system, before the problems escalate and cause blackouts or destruction of expensive equipment.

ENERGYTICS will demonstrate how machine learning and artificial intelligence can increase the value of the new smart meters that are currently being installed in all Norwegian homes.
