Effective excitation control is the cornerstone of reliable synchronous generator operation for commercial utilities. The Ovation Excitation System offers a native generator exciter and excitation control system for all synchronous generators.
One of the key reasons power generators are turning to renewable energy sources is that the technology has been stable for quite a long time. Photovoltaic solar and wind turbines are well understood, and quite readily available. Putting the energy they generate on the...
Increasing global dependence on electricity is a given. Every year communities around the world add new technologies aimed at improving everything from communication to transportation to manufacturing. As a result, the need for an increase in renewable power...
Few people still working in the industry today likely remember the earliest solar production facilities, which operated more like traditional generation plants than their modern counterparts. Unlike those old sites, using solar collectors to produce steam and turn...
Hopefully by now you’ve had some fun playing around with some of the many Generative AI tools available for free across the internet. Whether you’ve asked ChatGPT to write some poetry for Mother’s Day or tested out the powerful image rendering capabilities of...
One of the most exciting things about the rise of solar energy as a viable technology has been witnessing just how quickly solar operations around the globe have grown in scale. Today’s utility-scale solar farms can be huge, generating hundreds or thousands of...
At the 2024 Ovation Users Conference, Emerson’s Matt Cimino presented What’s New in PID Algorithm Enhancements. The new Ovation DCS enhancements will be shown and how they can be used to improve upon PID control.
Whether it is utilities generating the electricity that powers homes and businesses around the globe, or more localized power facilities providing generation for industrial processing plants, such as oil cracking or chemical manufacturing, modern power generation is...
The continuing changes in the electrical grid that have come as a result of the shift toward more renewable energy have dramatically increased complexity of power generation and distribution operations. Operators not only need to keep a close eye on their plants to...
