There is more pressure than ever on power generation companies to increase output, and many organizations are finding that the best way to do so is to find new, nontraditional ways to accomplish increased throughput. As a result, the world is seeing a major shift in...
Wind power is an incredibly efficient, clean source of energy—and it’s one that has been in use for a very long time. As a result, nearly everywhere around the globe it is possible to see wide open spaces dotted with wind turbines providing electricity to the grid. As...
For as little attention as it gets, hydro generation is a surprisingly important part of global power infrastructure. Many of the most critical sites around the world have been in operation for decades, reliably generating energy and supplying water management for...
When people think of hydrogen (H2) as an energy source, they typically think of fuel cells, the exciting technology that might someday soon power electric vehicles and other elements of our daily lives. But fuel cells aren’t the only way that H2 is useful for...
Solar generation has been around for a very long time. However, until recently, it always made up a very small percentage of global power generation. As a result, solar generation was never really considered critical infrastructure. Today, however, that dynamic is...
One of the most prominent topics of discussion at the Ovation™ Users’ Group Conference 2025 has been the increasing challenges the grid faces as electrification continues to expand across the globe. In his presentation on Tuesday, Adam Wortz dug into the details to...
One of the greatest challenges around the world is convincing people (or companies, for that matter) to make changes they don’t want to invest in. Regardless of the state of the marketplace, change that comes with added costs is always a difficult sell. And if that...
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...
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...
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...
As we talk more and more about a Boundless Automation vision for the future, one term that comes up frequently is the “edge”. After all, Boundless Automation is focused on seamless movement of contextualized data from the field, through the edge, and into the cloud....
During the Emerson Exchange EMEA 2024 in Düsseldorf, Stefano de Cillis, CTO at Proton Ventures, provided a presentation focused on the storage and handling of ammonia, including its decomposition back into hydrogen. Proton Ventures develops green projects and...
