How The Latest Technology Is Transforming The Oldest Green Power Plants

Bruce Watson
October 25, 2017
Scandinavian power company Fortum is the top producer of "certified" renewable electricity in Finland and Sweden. Much of it comes from 169 hydroelectric plants, some more than a century old, that use fast-flowing water to spin turbines and generate power. But how do you make sure that something built during the flapper era remains reliable and up to snuff?
Give it a brain.

Electrifying Indonesia: A National Challenge

August 26, 2017
Planning for Electricity.
Indonesia has a population of over 250 million people. Yet as recent as 2005, the nation’s energy demand was less than that of Norway, a country 50 times smaller. Since then, Indonesia has seen a huge economic growth in a decade. With that growth comes a staggering rise in the demand for electricity.

Efficient Steam Power For The Philippines

August 24, 2017
Over two billion people globally lack sufficient power to support social and economic development. Over one billion have no access to power at all. Changing that will require the effort of governments and business in partnership. Delivering the energy that is needed while minimising the environmental impact will require continuing drives for efficiency in power generation. That’s true right here in the Philippines.

A Global Thirst: Water Use In Industry

August 24, 2017
A Global Thirst
Every single day the demand for water grows. It is the most vital of our resources, from our direct need to consume it to the vast quantities required by our agriculture and industry. Where our land was once irrigated by the stately flow of our rivers, now our thirst has driven us underground to the deep reserves below our feet. Yet many of those deep wells of water are being depleted faster than nature can refill them.

Palm Oil in Malaysia: Teck Guan Adds Energy with GE

August 24, 2017
Palm oil was first introduced in Malaysia in the 1870s and now accounts for 39% of world production & 44% of world exports. Since 1960, planted areas have increased at a rapid pace – 49 million hectares of land in Malaysia are under oil palm cultivation. This is equivalent to 79 million football pitches! Yes, you read that right, 79,000,000!
Being one of the biggest producers and exporters of palm oil and palm oil products, Malaysia has an important role to play in fulfilling the growing global energy need –sustainably.

How A Wind Turbine Works

August 24, 2017
As countries grow more populace, the demand for electricity becomes strenuous to meet especially amidst global warming. Vietnam has come up with a master plan to undertake this problem by optimizing their most valuable resource, the wind. The 3,400km stretch of coastline could potentially provide 500-1000 kWh/m2 of wind power per year.
The infographic captures the mechanics of a wind turbine and exemplifies Vietnam’s 7th Power Master Plan to meet the rapidly growing demand for electricity in a sustainable fashion.

Renewable Energy Makes Things Tough On The Grid, But New Software Could Help

Bruce Watson
June 13, 2017
Many energy experts view Europe as a sort of crystal ball for the energy industry — one that’s showing a decidedly mixed future.
On the one hand, renewable sources like wind and sun provide more power than ever. They are also the fastest-growing sources of energy, accounting for 86 percent of all new generation capacity added to the European market in 2016.
