With the rise in renewables has come a paradigm shift in the layout of power generation operations. Generators need more variability and versatility, not only to serve increasing demand, but also to hedge against increasingly severe weather and other unpredictable...
One of the exciting improvements coming in Ovation™ 4.0 is a significant overhaul to the human machine interface (HMI). The rise of renewables, and their integration into more and more power generation portfolios has made operations more complex than ever....
Renewables are a primary topic of discussion at Emerson’s 2024 Ovation™ Users Group conference in Pittsburgh, and in a presentation by James Fraser, Brett Benson, Ole Binderup, and Matthew Roberts, attendees could quickly see why. The group shared the many ways the...
We’ve talked a lot in this space about the benefits of Emerson’s Ovation™ Green SCADA—built-for-purpose renewable energy software that provides a top-down approach to view, monitor, control, and optimize a wide variety of renewable energy and storage assets, across a...
One of the key highlights of Emerson’s Ovation Users’ Group is the wealth of outside perspectives users are exposed to across the week in Pittsburgh. Tuesday morning’s Cyber-Informed Engineering session was no exception. Virginia Wright, program manager for the...
The world has come to an interesting intersection. We need more renewable energy just as the aging wind turbine infrastructure, made up of many assets that are decades old, is beginning to underperform. However, replacing turbines is costly and regulations have...
As always, Rick Kephart hit the stage ready to talk about technology, once again focused on Emerson’s Boundless Automation™ vision—from the field to the cloud. While Rick’s entire roadmap for innovation plans for today, tomorrow, and the distant future, his opening...
The Ovation Users’ Group is a conference by and for the users themselves, and that hasn’t changed in the 37 years it has been running. Bob Yeager brought that group together by sharing how those users have made Ovation the leading platform for the power industry...
As we talk more and more about a Boundless Automation vision for the future, one term that comes up frequently is the “edge”. After all, Boundless Automation is focused on seamless movement of contextualized data from the field, through the edge, and into the cloud....
As more and more power generators bring renewables assets into their portfolios, complexity of operations is becoming an increasingly popular theme. In a recent interview with Wind Systems magazine, Emerson’s Matt Roberts dug into that complexity and the tools...
Over the years, I’ve commonly seen organizations view cybersecurity in a siloed way. While everyone recognizes that cybersecurity is necessary, of course, it’s not typically considered core to the organization’s overall strategy and operations. I suggest a different...
As more and more people and companies around the globe seek out renewable energy solutions, wind turbines have become an increasingly popular investment for energy producers. However, many of the assets these producers acquire are decades old, making them hard to...
