Embracing the Challenges of Modern Geothermal Exploration & Production Modern geothermal exploration and well development continues to re-draw the global map of potential geothermal energy sites. As operators drill deeper, longer and create more complex well paths, understanding risks and adapting with innovative solutions could determine project success or failure. Today’s enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) […]

Every site has that one team they want on-shift for a difficult evolution. The “smart” ones, the “dream team.” They might not even be the old timers, but they could black-start the plant from memory. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that level of confidence in your entire group so you wouldn’t have to shuffle […]

[This is the second blog in our Power Industry Imperatives series. View future entries in our Resource Center and watch the replay of the recent webinar, “Transforming Projects & Operations for the Energy Transition.”] Evolve faster. Extend the life of current assets. Drive harder on energy decentralization and the transition to renewables. Everything digital – […]

  Among those talking with POWER about reliability enhancements for the power grid was James Nyenhuis, plant performance consultant for Emerson. Nyenhuis provided POWER with insight about the work being done to support a reliable supply of electricity, from the power plant to the edge of the grid.   POWER: What are some enhancements that […]

Author: Adam Goldfarb [This is the second blog in our Power Industry Imperatives series. View more in our Resource Center and watch the replay of the recent webinar, “Transforming Projects & Operations for the Energy Transition.”]  Aligning internal teams to drive more efficient, sustainable power facilities is vital for long-term profitability and success. But owner operators, EPCs and their employees often struggle to get on the same page as they actively pursue project […]

Fine grain Optical Transport Network (fgOTN) technology is optimal for future electric power communication networks. Developed under highly regarded international standards, fgOTN addresses limitations in traditional communication network systems by efficiently handling small-bandwidth services while providing high reliability and low latency. The global electric power industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation through the deployment of […]

For investor-owned utilities looking toward complying with the requirements of a clean energy future where flexibility, reliability, efficiency, and low emissions are paramount, reciprocating engines (RICE) could provide a viable option in addressing power generation needs. Investor-owned utilities (IOUs) partner with technology companies like Wärtsilä, to serve their power generation needs. Wärtsilä’s RICE technology enables […]

The electric power distribution grid has become much more difficult to manage as renewable power resources have expanded, and transportation and industry sectors electrify. But today, advanced technology like IDS is helping power companies operate their complex systems more effectively and efficiently. Electricity is essential to modern life, but many consumers have little understanding of […]

The landscape of power generation has been evolving for some time, but the rate at which this is occurring appears to be accelerating. Numerous factors contribute to this (concerns with impacts on climate, increasing power demands – artificial intelligence and data centers, intermittent energy sources and grid stability, new technologies, etc.) but at the end […]

Energy industry analysts have said nuclear power will be important as part of the move toward zero-emissions electricity generation. They also agree that finding scalable nuclear solutions is key for providing the needed energy in a faster, lower-cost fashion. Small modular reactors (SMRs), generally considered those with a generation capacity of 300 MW or less, […]
