Use physics-based simulation for optimal designs Energy and chemical industry processes are complex. Using simulation to understand complexity creates opportunities to deploy the insights to your businesses’ advantage. Physics-based simulation models, at varied length scales, allow engineers to capture this complexity and use it to explore design and operating spaces to find optimum conditions. Deploying […]

Power producers today need to address multiple changes to the energy industry that are coming fast and furious. Among these changes are diversification of fleets, new power generating profiles, and drastic

The electricity transmission and distribution (T&D) grid is under pressure like never before. There are a number of data-driven digital solutions to help shore up the grid that have been getting a lot of
