TL;DR AI data centers are creating unprecedented power demands that resemble grid-scale loads concentrated at a single site. Unlike traditional facilities, AI data centers can experience rapid power consumption swings in seconds or milliseconds. Battery Energy Storage...
A remote operations control center, or ROCC, is more than a room with remote consoles. Its value comes from giving operators and support teams a consistent way to monitor, control, and troubleshoot assets across sites. That consistency becomes especially important as fleets add solar, wind, hydro, battery storage, and conventional generation, often with different control platforms.
TL;DR Digital twins are evolving beyond operator training. Modern simulation platforms support engineering, testing, and grid integration. Renewable energy projects benefit from improved system-level validation. Hybrid-fidelity modeling helps reduce simulation cost...
Why this matters now The AI revolution is here, and it comes with a very real and growing demand for power. As AI capabilities become embedded into everyday tools and industrial systems alike, the energy required to train and operate these models has grown...
TL;DR AI data centers require far more power than traditional facilities. The electrical grid cannot yet support this scale or volatility. Onsite, islanded power systems are becoming the preferred approach. Project coordination is a major challenge across multiple...
In high-pressure, high-temperature service, small deviations in valve performance translate into measurable efficiency losses and safety risk. Code-compliant selection, proven design features, and factory-verified testing help operators avoid unplanned outages, extend maintenance intervals, and protect critical assets.

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...
