Setting The Pace: How Smart-Grid Technology Is Powering The Global Shift To Renewables

Tomas Kellner

Renewables have long been the fastest-growing segment of the power-generation industry. But according to a new report from the International Energy Agency, there is even more dramatic growth ahead.

Between The Lines: This Tech Can Help Protect The Power Grid From Hackers

Amy Kover
March 05, 2020
If Thomas Edison had looked at blueprints for many modern electrical grids as recently as 15 years ago, he may have spotted many similarities to the system he designed. But after more than a century of moving electricity the same way, the industry has begun to change. Today, sensors on transformers can detect if the equipment is at risk of failing and send an alert to operators miles away.

António Guterres did not mince words. “The point of no return is no longer over the horizon,” the United Nations secretary-general said in a speech last month as he kicked off COP25, the U.N.’s much-anticipated climate change conference in Madrid.

The Network Effect: The Internet Of Electricity Is Coming and This Little Device Is Making It Happen

Tomas Kellner

It’s small, aluminum and barely larger than a hardcover book. But just like the dial-up modem a few decades ago, the device is helping revolutionize electrical power in ways we haven’t seen before.

Gear Heads: Smart Tech Helps Repair Crews Restore Power Faster

A mass of electrical cables may look like spaghetti to many people, but Nicolas Godingen has become an expert at picking each strand apart in his mind’s eye.

Nearly every day, the field service manager for GE in Singapore gets messages and calls from engineers who need quick guidance on emergency repairs at, say, a substation supplying electricity to an airport. Or they might ask for help with an issue affecting the national power grid.

The Power Broker: This GE Engineer Is Losing Sleep To Keep Your Lights On

Tomas Kellner
April 22, 2019

When Thomas Edison switched on the first electrical grid in downtown Manhattan in 1882, the project was a great engineering feat as well as a brilliant marketing ploy. Starting small, his grid covered just a few blocks of New York City’s financial district serving some very influential customers. This first step unleashed a tsunami of innovation and growth the same way the Internet would a century later, but years later its evolution slowed to a crawl.

Honey, I Shrunk The Grid: How Digital Technology Is Straightening Out The Power System's ‘Cable Spaghetti’

February 04, 2019

Electrical substations — the clusters of circuit breakers, transformers and switchgears that stick out of the ground like giant cattle prods — aren’t much to look at. What they lack in glamour, they make up for in sheer utility. Substations are the grid’s unsung heroes that toil in obscurity to keep our homes lit and phones charged. You might find one near a power plant, switching up the power generated by, say, a gas-burning facility into electricity that flows in high-voltage transmission cables to towns and cities.

She Has Her Finger On Power’s Pulse: GE’s Vera Silva Talks About Building The Nervous System For Energy And Getting The Electric Grid Truly Ready For The 21st Century

Operating a massive power grid is a bit like riding a bike, says the Swiss national grid operator Swissgrid. It’s easiest if you’re on a level surface, but things get trickier going uphill or downhill — or, in the case of the grid, when there are fluctuations in supply and demand that require power plant operators to either spin their turbines faster or ease off the throttle.
