Project ZeroKyst (2023-2025)

The competence project KSP ZeroKyst, with an interdisciplinary and comprehensive methodology, will find answers to how to phase in hydrogen-electric coastal vessels in order to reach the goal of a 50% emission reduction by 2030, as well as develop competence that puts Norway in the driver's seat for technological development. The work will be disseminated through the active involvement of reference groups, and covers five scientific work packages:

• Technology and expertise for reliable hydrogen-electric powertrain
• Bunkering and charging solutions at sea
• Complete energy infrastructure on land
• Analysis of environmental impact, safety and preparedness
• Exploration of the market potential in the emission-free coast of the future

Project OceanGrid (2023-2025)

Ocean grid research (SP5) is Ocean Grid’s Collaborative and Knowledge-building Project. As such, its research is open and results will be published. It will foster open research and innovation aiming at advancing the state of the art in four critical thematic areas. The involvement of industry stakeholders will ensure that research is aligned with industry needs and that the activities will strengthen the innovation capabilities of all partners.

NTNU CINELDI partnership

NTNU is a project partner in CINELDI (Centre for intelligent Electricity Distribution). 

CINELDI develops the electricity grid of the future, CINELDI works towards digitalising and modernising the electricity distribution grid for higher efficiency, flexibility and resilience and CINELDI enables a cost-efficient realisation of the future flexible and robust electricity distribution grid. 

Work packages

NTNU Team Smartgrid is involved in the follwing CINELDI work packages:

• Smart grid operation (WP2) 
• Interaction DSO/TSO (WP3)
• Flexible resources in the power system (WP5)

Research project 2019–2023

HONOR - Holistic flexibility market integration of cross sectoral energy sources.

The HONOR Project is an ERA-Net funded research project aimed at development and evaluation of a trans-regional flexibility market mechanism, integrating cross-sectoral energy flexibility at a community-wide level.
