The rapid development and widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is posing new challenges for electricity consumption. This is because most AI systems rely on data centers, facilities hosting several computing servers that store and process large amounts of data.

Integrating distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar, wind, batteries, and electric vehicles into the power grid is an important part of the energy transition. Utilities and transmission system operators know they need more flexibility when it comes to power generation and delivery,

Steps engineers can take to help mitigate power outage impacts. Paths to PLC redundancy. Paths to PAC redundancy. How can a dual Ethernet ring help with resilience? Power outages are becoming more frequent in the U.S. One research group states that from ...

The modern United States runs on an invisible machine of wires, transformers, data centers, and control rooms. If that machine failed all at once, life would not simply get less convenient, it would reorganize around scarcity,

MacLean Power Systems (“MPS”) and Power Grid Components (“PGC”), two leading manufacturers of engineered components and solutions for electrical transmission, distribution, substation and communication infrastructure, announced today the signing of ...

Modernizing the electric grid involves more than upgrading control systems with sophisticated software—it requires embedding sensors and automated controls across the entire system. It’s not only the digital brains that manage the network but also the ...

A historic legacy now translates to pioneering capabilities in electric grid technology at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The secure electrical infrastructure that enabled World War II nuclear advances under the Manhattan Project has evolved into the ideal test bed for modernizing the nation's grid for the 21st century.
