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…
The journey from NCCS PhD student to task leader
Vanja Buvik (SINTEF Industry) initially joined NCCS in 2017 as one of the Centre’s first PhD students. She is now Task 2 lead.
