HRSG valve applications span an unusually wide range of operating conditions. During startup, a feedwater valve may see the full discharge pressure of the boiler feed pump against an empty, atmospheric-pressure drum, creating severe cavitation potential.
Ensuring accuracy and repeatability in transformer manufacturing is critical, not only for product quality, but also for long-term performance and reliability in the field. The team at Asya Trafo, a leading transformer test equipment manufacturer, faced a familiar...
We unpack what the NERC CIP-015-01 standard requires, the compliance timelines utilities must plan for, and the practical challenges of deploying monitoring inside operational technology environments.
Power, Apr 2026, Smart Systems Power Up Modern Emissions Monitoring; by Keith N. Linsley: https://www.powermag.com/smart-systems-power-up-modern-emissions-monitoring/
Across industries—from chemical and energy to life sciences—operators are being asked to do more with less. Processes must run reliably, systems must integrate smoothly, and regulatory expectations continue to rise. At the same time, traditional approaches to flow...
The world has been harvesting wind as an energy source for a very long time. Don Quijote was “tilting at windmills” in the 17th century, long before anyone imagined a car, much less an electric one. We’ve come a long way from simply using the wind to grind grain and...
Managing power generation is complex even in the best of times, but with an emerging new energy economy, operations have become significantly more difficult. Today, organizations are not just trying to manage many different OEM versions of a single type of generation...
Modern society is facing two complex challenges emerging in parallel. On one hand, electrification around the globe is expanding at a mind-blowing rate. AI, personal electronics, electric vehicles, and more have dramatically increased energy consumption, and there...
There is more pressure than ever on power generation companies to increase output, and many organizations are finding that the best way to do so is to find new, nontraditional ways to accomplish increased throughput. As a result, the world is seeing a major shift in...
There is no shortage of content these days covering the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI), both in the world in general and across industrial manufacturing. AI is exciting, and will unquestionably create a paradigm shift in decision making, industrial...
In his recent article in Power magazine, Emerson’s Mike Ames shared that the power industry, historically, hasn’t typically been a source of sweeping changes. However, recent events have changed that trend: “As the steady state behavior in power grid’s generation,...
For as little attention as it gets, hydro generation is a surprisingly important part of global power infrastructure. Many of the most critical sites around the world have been in operation for decades, reliably generating energy and supplying water management for...
