Novel Phase Change Material Solutions for Efficient Thermal Energy Storage

The project "Solar Fuelled Electric Maritime Mobility" by SINTEF seeks to demonstrate the feasibility and the social, economic and environmental benefits of solar-fuelled electric boat transport in Tunisia and the wider region.

SuperSmart aims to achieve both decisive environmental benefits through a fast implementation of efficient heating and cooling solutions, as well as significant economic benefits through reduced energy use in the supermarket sector all across Europe.

The project aims to develop novel approaches to design property-driven materials with nano-functionalized surfaces and nano-structured thin films as well as necessary experimental techniques to determine catalytic properties and rate determining...

Stator winding insulation is the part of the hydrogenerator experiencing the highest number and the most damaging failures followed by long down times, costly repairs and large economic losses due to interrupted generation.

The main goal of the LORCENIS project is to develop long lasting reinforced concrete for energy infrastructures under extreme operating conditions.

The development of Smart grids solutions is gaining momentum all over the world, supporting the vision of a sustainable and reliable future energy system. New regulations and directives for security of supply, sustainability and market efficiency...

FerroCool is an experimental project that will investigate ferrofluid heat transfer. It is an early step towards realizing a novel, efficient and reliable cooling concept that uses magnetic nanofluids.

The project has a large potential for improving the transmission system's asset management by optimizing decisions on maintenance and reinvestments using developments in information and communication technology (ICT) and existing business specific...

This project would investigate how smart grid technology can be utilized in the electric distribution grid to reduce interruptions in the electricity supply and socio-economic costs of interruptions.

Society is crucially dependent on an adequate level of security of electricity supply. This imposes requirements for the planning and operation of modern power systems.

The primary objective of this project is to develop a methodology for optimized selection of energy storage solutions in hybrid ship power and propulsion systems.

The goal of the SmartPower project is to demonstrate the usefulness of modern optimisation methods for demand response applications in energy markets. To this end, we develop a prototype for optimised power matching/load balancing in large scale...

Flexibility in the future smart distribution grid

The overall aim is to create the foundations for commercializing an automotive derivative fuel cell system in the 50 to 100 kW range, for combined heat and power (CHP) applications in commercial and industrial buildings.

The main objective for the MonitorX project is to develop a model, and an additional software prototype, for optimal utilization of the lifetime of a component in a hydropower plant.

The goal of RICAS2020 is to provide an innovative design concept of an Underground Research Infrastructure to develop technologies by which the storage of very high amounts of “green” energy will be possible.

Snow conditions have an important impact on nature and human society. In Norway, one third of the annual precipitation falls as snow and snow information is important economically (hydropower), for infrastructure (construction safety and transport...
