The convergence of artificial intelligence and digital twin technology is emerging as a transformative solution, enabling power producers to shift from static control systems to dynamic, self-optimizing

The electric power industry is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by increasing grid complexity and the integration of renewable energy sources, while still providing reliable, affordable energy. At the heart of this evolution is the role of the distribution system operator (DSO), a position critical to managing the modern distribution grid. Historically, the DSO role […]

Mirion Technologies, a leading provider of advanced radiation safety solutions, has announced the launch of the Vital Platform. This software offers a single, unified system for accessing data across nuclear power sites to work more efficiently, enhance worker safety, and solve operational challenges faster. The launch includes the platform’s first application, Vital Supervision, designed to […]

General Motors (GM) has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with Redwood Materials, an agreement meant to accelerate deployment of energy storage systems using both new U.S.-manufactured batteries from GM, and second-life battery packs from GM electric vehicles (EVs). This collaboration, announced July 16, marks a significant step toward taking GM’s advanced battery technology beyond […]

An air gap is the distance between the rotor and stator of a large-scale hydroelectric generator. This gap is a very small distance in relation to the size of the rotor. Its measurement to tight tolerances is critical to prevent damage to and maintain efficiency of the generator. Static measurement of the air gap (Figure […]

IBEW International President Kenneth W. Cooper on June 29 issued the following statement on Senate Republicans’ draft reconciliation bill, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that threatens several sectors, including renewable energy: “This budget reconciliation bill is a direct attack on working families, shoveling tax breaks to the rich while turning its back on the people […]

Intelligent power management company Eaton is working with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to repurpose the utility’s retired Bull Run Fossil Plant in Clinton, Tennessee, into a critical asset supporting reliable and clean energy.
