Why this matters now Renewable generation has moved from pilot projects to core capacity, and the shift to widely dispersed, remotely managed assets expands the cyber-attack surface for utilities. A resilient posture now hinges on redundant connectivity,...
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...
Wind power is an incredibly efficient, clean source of energy—and it’s one that has been in use for a very long time. As a result, nearly everywhere around the globe it is possible to see wide open spaces dotted with wind turbines providing electricity to the grid. As...
When people think of hydrogen (H2) as an energy source, they typically think of fuel cells, the exciting technology that might someday soon power electric vehicles and other elements of our daily lives. But fuel cells aren’t the only way that H2 is useful for...
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...
A quick, two-minute YouTube video, “Alternative Fuel Level Measurement,” highlights a diverse range of technologies designed to accommodate level measurement on tanks with varying specifications.
At the 2025 Ovation Users’ Group Conference, Emerson’s Ole Binderup presented Wind Turbine Optimization. He addressed wind turbine challenges and how the Ovation Green Wind Turbine Operation and Control Solutions help to overcome these challenges.
There is no question that the rise of renewable energy has complicated operations for power generators and distributors. New technologies mean new devices and lots more data to manage. With each passing year, everything seems to be getting bigger and more complicated....
I caught the Inverter-Based Resources presentation by two engineers with a leading U.S. electrical power supplier at the 2025 Ovation Users’ Group Conference. These inverter-based resources (IBRs) are driven by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind.
As electrification continues to increase around the globe, more and more power generators—including utilities—are looking for new sources of generation to keep up with demand. On the most basic level, the push toward more electric vehicles and the electronic devices...
Emerson’s Sarah Morgan presented Take a Deep Dive into Ovation Green SCADA at the 2025 Ovation Users’ Conference. Ovation Green SCADA is a built-for-purpose renewable energy software solution that provides a top-down approach to viewing, monitoring, controlling, optimizing, and providing renewable energy asset management.
