To increase operational efficiency, utilities are migrating more to smart grids which integrates traditional grid infrastructure with sensor and communication technologies to collect and process large amounts of data. With a large complex network composed of millions of devices and remote entities connected with each other, such a massive network comes with many security concerns and potential vulnerabilities.

This webinar provides key insights into the building blocks in security solutions for the smart grid network to mitigate risk for the modern utility infrastructure.

As many power plants continue to struggle with the critical last step in their coal ash remediation processes – the final testing phase – some plants have successfully adopted the use of recently advanced sensor technology to measure real-time total suspended solids (TSS) to verify their discharge water is meeting specified requirements.

Having the ability to monitor TSS real time, and obtain accurate results that are repeatable and verifiable with random lab tests, allows for users to automate functions such as controlling pumps transporting effluent, or start and stop pretreatment processes designed to keep effluent within permit guidelines.

As part of its portfolio of independent service offerings, EthosEnergy OAU offers third-party staffing and operations services for utility and commercial power plants. Among the challenges of meeting its aggressive growth goals, OAU needs to serve all its clients’ plants with equal effectiveness, regardless of generation capacity, infrastructure complexity, and staffing model.

The energy landscape is changing dramatically and today performance is measured in more than just megawatts. Finding the right balance between operations and maintenance will help keep costs low and help profits grow. Profitability is more than just operations and maintenance, it is about processes and concepts and finding a new way to do something. Join us to learn how you can teach your old plant new tricks for a more profitable future.

Join our industry experts for this insightful 60-minute webinar as we discuss how LTE cellular networks can help improve grid intelligence and operations, data management, how the public cellular networking compares to other communication networks (such as radio mesh, fixed point-to-point, private cellular, etc.) including technical choices for investments and explore the future evolution of connected IoT for utilities.

In order for a plant to maintain peak generation capacity, measures to prevent fouling or remove deposits must be applied. Early identification of fouling characteristics and a fundamental knowledge of cleaning system capabilities are essential in determining the most effective cleaning technology. Unique circumstances may require innovative solutions. The common causes of condenser tube fouling and the practical application and innovation of cleaning technology are discussed. State-of-the-Art methods for off-line mechanical tube cleaning are presented, and their effects on tube condition examined.

Join us to learn how you can teach your old plant new tricks as we dive deeper into the industry drivers, the operational challenges that face us all, and how you can redefine performance for a more efficient, secure, and profitable future of your business.

Hydrogen poses significant challenges to owners, operators, and maintenance personnel from the standpoint of safety, risk mitigation, and demands for increasing efficiency. As such, the Generator Hydrogen Auxiliary System demands close attention, requiring proper maintenance, monitoring, and upkeep to ensure safe plant operation. Recent catastrophic events have reinforced the critical importance of safety and risk mitigation strategies in power plants worldwide.
