In a Power article, The POWER Interview: Emerson Exec Discusses Grid Enhancements, Emerson’s James Nyenhuis shares ways technology and transformed work practices can drive reliability performance enhancements.
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...
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...
As more and more people and companies around the globe seek out renewable energy solutions, wind turbines have become an increasingly popular investment for energy producers. However, many of the assets these producers acquire are decades old, making them hard to...
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...
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....
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...
As electrical grids get more complex, so too does the task of keeping them online. Grid operators have long had reliability programs, as they are essential to safe operation, but the most effective plants are updating those programs with modern technologies as they...
After three long years, the Ovation™ Users’ Group is back in person in Pittsburgh in 2023. Bob Yeager opened the conference with an expansive vision for the many ways Emerson will work together with its users to meet a changing future. Change is a central theme in...
This 3-minute YouTube video, Emerson Sustainable Grid Solutions shares ways that grids with unpredictable renewable energy can be transformed into predictable, reliable power through real-time demand forecasting, operational visibility and analytics, maximizing efficiency from generation to delivery.
Scientists have warned for decades that climate change can trigger more frequent and intense weather-related events, such as heatwaves and hurricanes which could cause disruptions to power generation and supply. One major U.S. utility digitally transformed a...
