Sammendrag
The Arctic is a region which is rapidly opening up for business opportunities. However, research has been abundant here for a long time. With this situation comes the avenue to transition technology used in the region from research to commercial purposes. In this thesis, a business case is developed to show the commercial potential of research-based technology. The case technology was developed by the researchers of The University of Tromsø, The University Centre in Svalbard, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and the Scottish Association of Marine Scientists. It is a case under the NOK 40 million-funded ArcticABC research project, which presents a new method for measuring, harvesting and analyzing biological, geological and chemical processes within arctic sea ice. Its original purpose is to provide researchers with a means of autonomously carrying out arctic sea ice measurements all year round (including the largely understudied polar winter). However, upon introduction to students at the Business School in Tromsø, it was discovered that the technology can be adapted to also cater to businesses conducting operations in the Arctic, thus enabling the pathway for a commercial plan. Basing on several theoretical and practical methods, the students reviewed the innovative potential behind this technology, identified market segments and developed a packaged solution that has the potential to serve these markets. At the time of the thesis submission, the technology is still being tested and developed to ensure its capabilities, nonetheless, reasonable assumptions and justifications for those assumptions have been made to show how a research-based technology can be feasibly commercialized

Wireless charging of offshore wind service vessels
Nilsen, Henrik Fjeld (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-18)This report discusses the possibility for wireless charging solutions for electric vessels, with a focus on offshore wind turbine service. Where the charging time is minimal and safety for crew is important. Different types of wireless technologies have been studied, where the Inductive power transfer (IPT) is shown to be the preferred technology. Inductive power transfer (IPT) grants a safe ... -
Modeling and Stability Analysis of Fuel Cell-Based Marine Hybrid Power Systems
Shakeri, Nastaran; Chen, Wenjie; Zadeh, Mehdi; Abdelhakim, Ahmed; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Tai, Kang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-18)This article proposes a framework for stability analysis of hydrogen fuel cell-based hybrid power systems (HPSs) for zero-emission propulsion. An analytical model is developed, and a comprehensive modal analysis is performed to address the HPS dynamic interactions. Sensitivity analysis assesses the impact of operating conditions, control parameters of the governor and converter controllers, and ... -
Analysis of potential critical equipment and technical system on a modern PSV. Recommending a method for Troms Offshore Management AS
Løvmo, Signy Anita (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-06-01)This thesis is a part of a master’s degree in Technology and Safety in the High North at the University of Tromsø- The Arctic University of Norway. The thesis has been written during the spring semester of 2016. Safety is a large part of maritime operations and all tools to improve safety and reliability is considered. Even in these days when economy in the oil related industry is worse than ever. ...
