TESCO Metering is proud to announce its recognition as one of the first manufacturers to achieve certification in the National Electrical Manufacturers Association’s (NEMA’s) new Make It American program. As a pilot partner in the program, TESCO is helping set the benchmark for domestic manufacturing compliance under the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA)—reinforcing its longstanding […]

Cooperation across teams, technology, and institutions is the key to securing the world’s critical infrastructure. As the global industrial cybersecurity market grows toward a forecasted $41.4 billion in

The flexibility market is gaining ground within the electricity industry. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, there is more and more electricity generated from volatile renewable sources of energy that has to be integrated into the grid. And secondly, the increasing digitalization of power grids means that even decentralized market players can use flexibility […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the energy sector, helping power plant operators optimize efficiency, reduce emissions, and prevent costly equipment failures. By analyzing vast amounts of real-time data, AI models can identify anomalies in equipment behavior, optimize fuel consumption, and enhance overall plant performance. According to industry estimates, AI-driven analytics can reduce maintenance costs by […]

Energy storage systems (ESS) are critical for grid stability as renewable energy adoption accelerates, but safety concerns have emerged due to fire hazards in lithium-ion batteries. Korea Electric Power

This whitepaper from SimuTech Group explores how multiphysics simulation helps engineers solve performance and reliability challenges across the energy generation industry. Covering structural, thermal, fluid, and electromagnetic domains, it highlights practical applications across fossil, nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, and hydrogen systems. Backed by 40+ years of experience, SimuTech Group offers proven strategies to accelerate innovation […]

The current fleet of nuclear reactors are based in huge imposing facilities generally located in isolated locations away from population centers.  This need not be the case. In the near future nuclear reactors will be regarded as portable, modular sources of safe and clean energy. Rather than being located in remote facilities hundreds of miles […]

Localized intelligence will reshape energy operations, enabling edge-based generative artificial intelligence (AI) models to deliver precision, agility, and control at every layer of power operations. For

Curtiss-Wright Corp. said it has been awarded two contracts from TerraPower to design and supply plant simulation and digital control solutions for the Natrium advanced nuclear reactor design. Under the contracts, Curtiss-Wright will design and deliver the training simulator (TSN) and distributed control systems (DCS) for the Natrium plant. The TSN is a full-scope simulator that […]

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) play an essential role in balancing grids with high renewable energy. They can charge during low price hours and discharge during high price hours in the wholesale markets, or support grid stability participating in the ancillary markets. It is important for BESS owners to maximise their profit by deciding how […]
