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

Tomas Kellner

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.

New Power Generation: Why America’s Largest Electric Utility Is Adding Renewables To Its Energy Mix

June 28, 2018
Electric power was still a luxury few could afford when American industrialist James Buchanan Duke and his partners decided to build a clever system of lakes and dams on the Catawba River, which runs through the Carolinas. Their first power station, which came online in 1904, used the river’s bottled-up energy to generate a meager 6,600 kilowatts.

The electrical grid is a lot like the human body. Just as we have the heart, brain and veins, the grid has substations, control rooms and transmission lines, all working in concert. But like the body, it can also get sick — and needs the right diagnosis and medicine to get well quickly.

So You Have A Wind Farm, Now What? This Software Will Bring More Renewable Power To People's Homes

June 28, 2016
You know it’s windy when water seemingly violates the law of gravity. That happened in Scotland last February when Storm Henry’s 100-miles-per-hour gale flipped a waterfall on the Isle of Mull on its head, made it cascade up a cliff and turned it into a YouTube sensation. No wonder wind power is big business in the Highlands.
