AI Data Centers Are Rewriting the Rules of Power Infrastructure
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...
Optimizing Power Plant Efficiency with Pressure Relief and Blowdown Valves
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.
Reshaping Grid and Data Center Power Strategies
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...
Driving Reliability Performance Improvements for Power Producers
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.
Understanding Generator Excitation Systems in Power Generation
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.
Revolutionize Battery Storage with Modern Green Energy Software Solutions
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 Power of Modern Simulation
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...
Give Legacy Wind Turbines a New Life with a Control System Retrofit
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...
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....
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...
