Putting Data to Use - How Utilities Can Make Stronger Investment Planning Decisions
November 13, 2023
The electric power industry is undergoing a substantial transformation. As renewable energy sources such as wind and solar are playing a larger role in the overall energy mix, aging infrastructure and a rise in the number of damaging weather events are pressuring utilities to modernize equipment, improve resiliency, and optimize performance.
Case Study: Verifying Switching Operations – Ozarks Electric Cooperative
October 23, 2023
Ozarks Electric Cooperative is a non-profit, member-owned cooperative that provides power to more than 86,000 customers in Northwest Arkansas and Northeast Oklahoma. The cooperative operates a 69kV loop that connects distribution stations. Motor-operated switches allow the loop to be reconfigured to connect to different sources, respond to load problems, or restore power after outages.
Reducing Fugitive Emissions - The Role of Touchless™ Monitoring for Leak Detection and Repair in Oil & Gas
October 9, 2023
The oil & gas industry contributes a significant share of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Much of these emissions are in the form of methane, a highly potent but short-lived GHG that is responsible for as much as 30 percent of the rise in global temperatures.
Using Touchless™ Monitoring For Oil and Gas - The Upstream, Midstream, and Downstream Applications of Thermal and Visual Sensors
September 25, 2023
The oil & gas industry faces increasing public, investor, and regulatory pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improve workplace safety, and mitigate the environmental impact of activities across the production process.
Monitoring Asset Health in Real-Time - Condition-Based Maintenance for Oil & Gas
September 11, 2023
The oil & gas industry faces unique and complex maintenance challenges. Facilities across the production process often operate in extremely difficult conditions that increase the likelihood of equipment degradation and failure.
Case Study: Learn why Iberdrola Australia Chose Systems With Intelligence Touchless™ Monitoring
August 28, 2023
Iberdrola Australia is a leading renewable energy provider that generates and contracts electricity from wind turbines, solar photovoltaic, and other low-emission energy sources. With over 1,100 MW of installed capacity and more than 2,500 MW of planned capacity, the company provides clean and sustainable electricity to individuals, households and businesses throughout Australia.
4 Benefits of Touchless™ Monitoring Solutions for the Oil & Gas Industry
August 14, 2023
The oil & gas industry has long used cameras for security and safety applications. In case of an incident, teams could review the video footage and see what happened. But they had limited capabilities to actually prevent an issue from occurring in the first place. Today, Touchless™ Monitoring solutions allow data from thermal and visual sensors to be used proactively, not just reactively. The explosion-proof sensors provide 24/7 continuous monitoring of upstream, midstream, or downstream facilities for a wide range of applications.
Improving Operations & Maintenance With Touchless™ Monitoring for Oil & Gas Facilities
July 24, 2023
The oil & gas industry plays a significant role in the North American economy. As global energy demand recovers, the North American oil & gas market is expected to grow to more than $356 billion by 2025. Extracting, transporting, refining, and distributing oil & gas requires a complex mix of diverse and geographically dispersed facilities. Each of these sites faces unique challenges, especially when it comes to the operation and maintenance of high-value industrial assets.
The Impact of Electrification on Consumption and Utility Infrastructure
July 10, 2023
The way we use electricity is changing. Electrification of energy-intensive industries and applications, such as transportation, manufacturing, and raw materials processing, is vital to achieving decarbonization targets and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels.
The Complexity of Green Energy - How Utilities Can Maintain Sustainable Generating Technologies
June 19, 2023
Sustainability is top of mind for utilities. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar have moved beyond the pilot stage and have proven to be viable alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. But as these new technologies are introduced to the electrical grid, they add complexity to an already vast and complex system. Unique maintenance requirements, additional equipment and assets, and the need for specialized skills all mean that utilities must consider the way green energy sources will affect their performance when deciding to invest.
