HighEFF workshop – How to get from knowledge building on surplus heat recovery to practical and attractive demonstrators?
How can we reach a point where industrial surplus heat is fully utilized?
Advanced control logic in thermal systems using Modelica
A control algorithm is the brain of any thermal application; it can make or break the energy effectiveness of the thermal system. Control…
Preparing for zero-emission buildings at sea
As we work towards operating cruise ships with zero emissions, it is important that we reduce the energy use of the hotel systems on board. We have modelled the hotel system of a cruise ship in a building simulation tool in order to evaluate various energy efficiency solutions, including passive measures, heat pumps and thermal energy storage. Passive measures utilise the building’s structure or materials to reduce energy consumption, for example by increasing or decreasing solar heat gains.
Machine learning and milk analyses make it easier to monitor cow and herd health
The use of technologies, including machine learning in measuring milk components of individual cows may ensure early detection of diseases and maximization of…
Increasing the pace of decarbonization with industrial flexibility
Instead of building new grid, utilizing flexibility in industrial processes could be a cheaper and faster way of integrating variable power production.
Energy efficiency: How to unlock 20 TWh of conflict-free energy
Solutions exist already today to make Norwegian industry more efficient and unlock large amounts of energy in a way that is largely uncontroversial. Why, then, are energy efficiency measures not being deployed at a quicker pace?
