Buy renewable electricity from your neighbor, but at what price?
Buying electricity from your neighbor’s solar panel is quickly becoming reality, as electricity sharing schemes for distributed renewable electricity are realized through local energy communities. Alongside this new and exciting option arises the question: “what should the price be?
Prediction of full-scale ship performance using CFD
Model testing has been, and still is, the dominant method to predict the propulsion performance of ships. However, the use of Computational Fluid…

Predicting the future energy system: modelling offshore wind in the power grid
Achieving a sustainable zero-emission society requires profound changes to the energy system. About half of Norway’s overall energy consumption is fossil based. Decarbonising this half of the energy consumption and simultaneously facilitating sustainable growth in Norway are key challenges going forward.
Why experiments and modelling are necessary for the safe design and operation of CO₂ transport systems
CO₂ capture, transport and storage (CCS) systems are an important part of our toolbox for mitigating climate change. However, increased R&D efforts are needed to facilitate an efficient and safe scaling up of CCS to the level needed to mitigate climate change. In his keynote speech at TCCS-12, SINTEF Chief Scientist Svend Tollak Munkejord discussed why both experiments and models are a necessary part of this effort.
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…
