SINTEF projects

The project had as its overall objective to increase the activity of students with asthma by developing a suitable curriculum for physical education lessons at school.

The FP6 project CO2ReMoVe aims at creating a scientifically based reference for the monitoring and verification of CO₂ geological storage. Through extensive R&D into monitoring, measurements and verification on multiple storage sites, CO2ReMoVE wants...

The purpose of the project is to develop a prototype multiscale mixed finite-element pressure solver in the ECLIPSE FrontSim streamline reservoir simulation software. FrontSim is a three-phase, 3D simulator that models multiphase flow of fluids along...

The main objective of this project was to provide decision support for introduction of Hydrogen as energy carrier in the Norwegian energy system.

The project was designed chiefly to develop strategies aimed at integrating energy from renewable sources into European power grids as cheaply as possible.

The aim of CheckIT is to assist the companies and other actors in identifying and solving security and safety problems that arise in a network of cooperating firms relying on ICT systems.. Our experience suggests that the method also can help actors...

Temperatures can be determined without touching the object under investigation by measuring the heat it radiates (pyrometry). However, accurate temperature determination requires knowledge about the object emissivity. For aluminium, it is very...

Sorting garbage for recycling saves resources, reduces environmental pollution and slows the build-up of landfills. Infrared light is the key to a sorting machine for drink cartons and plastic bottles developed by SINTEF.

The project aimed at developing novel overall solutions to minimise consequences and costs related to major challenges for the future distribution networks:

The main goal of IRMA was to improve information security in the oil and gas industry, with focus on integrated operations, through developing a method for incident response management.

A competitively-priced online spectral imager has been developed that is robust and accurate enough for industrial applications

Prediction of deposition and transport of sand in sandliquid (MD) and sand-gas-liquid (1D) flows.

The main objective of this project is to enhance the understanding and knowledge in the field of thermal effects in PEFCs.

HFC - Human Factors in Control is a network for researchers, industry and consultants that are working with human factors (HF - Human Factors).

Ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems are an energy efficient technology for heating and cooling of non-residential buildings. Ground source is a relatively high and stable heat source tempe­rature that enables a considerable share of the cooling...

ELCOM-90 is an efficient tool for data communication between control centres as well as for communication between substations and control centres.

Modern methods for 3D geological modelling and reservoir characterization are leading industry to routinely build very large and detailed reservoir models; grid models of the subsurface geology currently range in size from 10 to 100 million cells and...

Norway was at the brink of a significant wind energy development with an official target of increasing the annual wind energy production to 3 TWh within 2010. Industrial initiatives had also been taken; most notably by ScanWind and Umoe Ryving. The...
