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...
With the rise in renewables has come a paradigm shift in the layout of power generation operations. Generators need more variability and versatility, not only to serve increasing demand, but also to hedge against increasingly severe weather and other unpredictable...
One of the exciting improvements coming in Ovation™ 4.0 is a significant overhaul to the human machine interface (HMI). The rise of renewables, and their integration into more and more power generation portfolios has made operations more complex than ever....
Renewables are a primary topic of discussion at Emerson’s 2024 Ovation™ Users Group conference in Pittsburgh, and in a presentation by James Fraser, Brett Benson, Ole Binderup, and Matthew Roberts, attendees could quickly see why. The group shared the many ways the...
We’ve talked a lot in this space about the benefits of Emerson’s Ovation™ Green SCADA—built-for-purpose renewable energy software that provides a top-down approach to view, monitor, control, and optimize a wide variety of renewable energy and storage assets, across a...
As always, Rick Kephart hit the stage ready to talk about technology, once again focused on Emerson’s Boundless Automation™ vision—from the field to the cloud. While Rick’s entire roadmap for innovation plans for today, tomorrow, and the distant future, his opening...
The Ovation Users’ Group is a conference by and for the users themselves, and that hasn’t changed in the 37 years it has been running. Bob Yeager brought that group together by sharing how those users have made Ovation the leading platform for the power industry...
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....
One of the most fascinating frontiers of the new push toward more renewable forms of energy is the increase in utility-scale battery storage. More renewable sources of energy means more variability on the grid, so energy producers need a place to store that energy...
Utilities around the globe are reacting to a public call to address climate change. The future of generation will call for new technologies that reduce emissions and provide more sustainable power. However, as James Fraser points out in his recent article in enerG...
Of all the new sustainable technologies emerging in the energy marketplace, one of the most exciting is green hydrogen. In an era of increasing focus on sustainability, green hydrogen has the potential to provide clean power for manufacturing, transportation, and...
