Time and time again, Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) shows the global utility industry its strength, technical capability, and resource depth to serve as a premier alternative to the original equipment manufacturer for both services and parts supply. In fact, MD&A established itself in the beginning as the preferred non-OEM supplier, regardless of original supply […]

How Network Model Management Centralizes Data Truth for Utilities Grid reliability, operational efficiency and regulatory compliance are at the top of every electric utility’s priority list. Aligning every planning and operations silo across the organization to achieve those goals, however, is a daunting task. For example, utility electric grid data is critical for improving reliability, […]

Cybersecurity has never been more urgent for the power sector. The rush to build AI data centers comes with a race to build new power production and distribution systems — and a need to protect those systems. Data center customers drive a need for reliability. A data center without power is little more than a […]

Turn complexity into clarity with digital lifecycle tools. The hydrogen industry is scaling fast, but so are the challenges. From managing complex data to avoiding costly delays, owner-operators need smarter ways to plan, build and run clean hydrogen facilities. This ebook shows how a Digital Lifecycle Excellence approach helps you: Connect teams, data and processes […]

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 […]

Mechanical Dynamics & Analysis (MD&A) has completed back-to-back major inspections of two 180-MW GE® 7FA.04 gas turbines and 7FH2 generators, returning both to fully dispatchable service on schedule. The complexity of the planning & implementation of these outages for the owner/operator exemplifies the time-proven expertise and capabilities that exists throughout MD&A. MD&A provided all project […]

AVEVA enables nuclear operators to achieve measurable outcomes through integrated digital ecosystems August 2025 Executive summary As nuclear operators face increasing demands for agility, safety, and cost control, the industry is under pressure to modernize how data is used across the asset lifecycle. Real-time operational intelligence is no longer a luxury—it’s the backbone of grid […]

In this episode of Schweitzer Drive, host Dave Whitehead sits down with Dr. Luca Oriani, President of Long-term Operations at Westinghouse, to explore the future of large-scale nuclear energy. They discuss the resurgence of advanced nuclear reactors, the lessons learned from the AP1000 deployment at Plant Vogtle, and how modern technology is reshaping the safety, […]

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 […]

As the energy industry shifts towards renewable sources like wind and solar, traditional power generation methods face new challenges. One of the most significant issues is the loss of inertia in the grid. Inertia, provided by the large rotating masses in conventional power plants (such as coal, gas, and nuclear plants), is essential for maintaining […]
