At a time of surging demand for electric energy, the power industry has to ensure reliable and stable supply with the flexibility needed to handle intermittent wind and solar generation. Through production, transmission and distribution, a key factor in maintaining this balance is effective control and automation, supported by capable and reliable field equipment. In a world […]

An increasingly complex set of rules governs utility electric grids, and the financial consequences of failing to comply are rising. Utilities also face a business imperative to maximize grid reliability and operate cost-effectively. Increasingly, utilities are finding the sweet spot to manage those priorities through better data — and better tools to manage the data. Network […]

  In simple terms, inertia refers to the energy stored in the rotating masses of synchronous generators, typically found in traditional thermal power plants. This stored kinetic energy acts as a cushion when sudden frequency fluctuations happen in the grid, helping to prevent system-wide disruptions. For example, when a large generator unexpectedly goes offline, the […]

Steve Sinclair, Director of Utilities Vertical Market at Convergint The threat landscape facing utilities has evolved rapidly in recent years. Fortunately, security technology has evolved alongside this heightened risk profile. Security assets, once tasked with keeping people and property safe and providing situational awareness, are now capable of doing so much more. That evolution has […]

Jiangsu province is an economic powerhouse on the east coast of China on the estuary of the mighty Yangtse River, just north of Shanghai. It has the second highest gross domestic product (GDP) in the country. But with rapid growth comes surging energy demands. The province has been suffering due to power supply constraints and […]

Meralco (Manila Electric Company) is the largest power distribution company in the Philippines, serving approximately 27 million Filipinos. Its franchise area of 9,685 square kilometers (km2), encompassing 111 cities and municipalities, is only 3% of the country’s land area, but it accounts for 50% of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). This $9.5 billion business […]

Building Today for the Power Grid of the Future Utilities are challenged to accommodate the growing demand for electricity, while at the same time navigating the complexities of transforming the grid to accommodate the integration of renewable energy resources. Both utilities and grid operators are looking for solutions to help them build the grid of […]
