Break Away from Suboptimal Turbine Control
The days of wind energy as a niche market are long behind us. Today, wind power makes up a growing share of the energy marketplace as corporate, government, and societal pressures for reducing carbon emissions continue to increase. However, meeting the needs of the...
Ask the Expert: Your burning questions about frequency and inertia for renewables and Inverter-Based Resources
Meeting local and national CO2 emission goals and responding to social pressures related to global warming are primary factors driving decarbonization efforts in the energy industry across the world. At the same time, electricity demand is growing across the board....
Weighing Your Wind Turbine Options: Retrofit, Replace or Repair?
I’m often asked about how much impact wind turbine control retrofits can have on overall operations, and how they stack up against replacement or repair. It’s simple: they can be a very cost-effective way to positively affect the performance and reliability of a...
With investment flowing into hydro plants, it’s time to think about the benefits of modernizing controls
Funding is flowing into U.S. hydropower facilities: Recently, the U.S. Department of Energy announced that through the Hydroelectric Production Incentive, 66 hydro facilities would receive $38 million in incentive payments for electricity generated and sold. This...
Should you Rethink your PID-based Control Strategy?
PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative)-based control has been commonly used for decades. And while it still is adequate for controlling many process parameters, the time may be right to take a step back and re-evaluate PID-based control in power generation and other...
Advancing Clean Technologies
Emerson’s Chief Technology Officer Peter Zornio joined a distinguished panel, The Emergence of a Clean Technology Suite, at the Reuters Energy Transition 2023 Conference in Houston, Texas.
Going Boldly Into a Green Hydrogen Future
Of all the new sustainable technologies emerging in the energy marketplace, one of the most exciting is green hydrogen. In an era of increasing focus on sustainability, green hydrogen has the potential to provide clean power for manufacturing, transportation, and...
How to Reduce Your Boiler’s Carbon Footprint With Sustainable Biofuels
The environmental risks associated with carbon emissions have escalated over the last several decades. Although modern technologies like burner and boiler systems have enhanced our standard of living, they’ve also created long-term negative consequences in the form of...
Putting Small-Scale Hydrogen Generation to Work: Natural Gas Blending for Residential Use
In an H2 Tech magazine article, Emerson’s Seth Harris shows how to get the most from small-scale, residential green hydrogen production.
Successfully Bring Renewable Assets Into the Fold
One of the hottest topics of conversation at the 2023 Ovation Users’ Group conference has been renewables, and much of that conversation has been around the struggle to bring a wide array of disparate renewable assets together into a unified system of control,...
