In a POWER Magazine article and podcast, Emerson Addresses Power Industry’s AI-Driven Demand Surge, Emerson’s Seth Harris joins Executive Editor Aaron Larson to discuss these challenges and the role of automation and AI-enabled technologies to help address these challenges.
Power Generation
Turning Green Hydrogen Ambition into Reliable, Scalable Reality
Much of the focus on green energy is centered around solar and wind generation. However, there are many different potential sources of green energy, and one of the most exciting, if not the most well-known, is green hydrogen (GH2). From pilot programs testing GH2...
Successfully Planning and Executing Power Projects
Combined cycle plants will play a crucial role in this growth in electricity production. Emerson’s Ovation distributed control system automates 18 of the 20 largest combined cycle plants here in the U.S. Ovation Green automates many other forms of non-hydrocarbon energy sources, including nuclear, wind, solar, hydroelectric, battery, and green hydrogen.
The Sun Rises on New Cybersecurity Demands
Solar generation has been around for a very long time. However, until recently, it always made up a very small percentage of global power generation. As a result, solar generation was never really considered critical infrastructure. Today, however, that dynamic is...
From Cloud to Control Layer: Making GenAI Work for Power
Look around and you’ll very quickly discover just how rapidly the world is changing. Electric vehicles—including those used for mass transportation—seem to be around every corner. People communicate and entertain themselves using a wide array of electronic mobile...
