Many producers in the Permian drill primarily for oil, not natural gas, and therefore simply flare off much of the gas that comes up alongside the oil because they deem it not worth the effort or expense to capture and sell. And the accuracy of flare volume data, which is self-reported by operators, has been […]
Google’s Sycamore quantum processor. Image: Google The usefulness of most quantum computers is still significantly limited by the low number of qubits that hardware can support. But simple fiber optic cables – just like the ones used for broadband connections – could be the answer. A team of researchers from the National Institute of Standards […]
There are many safety standards – most have been developed in the age of the fixed autonomous robot – behind a cage – in a factory, for example. Today, these robots are moving. Challenges of Developing a Safety System for an Autonomous Work Site Q&A with Nathan Bivans, CTO | Fort Robotics Tell us about […]
BlueWave Solar, a Boston-based solar developer and community solar service provider, has sold a 4.2 MW, 10-acre agrivoltaic solar project on a wild blueberry farm in Rockport, Maine, to Navisun, a solar power producer that owns and operates distributed and small utility-scale solar projects.

As life drastically changed and businesses were forced to operate in new ways, robots were not only leveraged to adapt to current circumstances, but to prepare for those to come. Source link
The current processes in and between regional transmission organizations (RTOs) are impeding the development of low-cost renewable power, according to a review recently released of regional and interregional transmission planning in the Great Plains, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. The analysis from Concentric Energy Advisors, commissioned by the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) as part of […]
Sierra Wireless, the multinational manufacturer of Internet of Things devices, has resumed production after being hit by a ransomware attack. The Canadian company became the victim of a ransomware attack against its IT systems on March 20, disrupting internal operations and production facilities. But now Sierra Wireless has restored production at its manufacturing sites and […]
5 Considerations for Deploying Industrial Robotics Not every deployment of new robots goes smoothly. There are significant challenges to adopting any new technology, and the complexity of cutting-edge robotics means there is serious room for error when deploying industrial robots Robot HMI for Projects Automation To customize a robot interface, the only thing required is […]
Siemens Energy, a global energy company, says it will supply a reactive power compensation plant to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). The plant will enhance operations at Barren Ridge Switching Station, LADWP’s renewable energy transmission facility in Kern County, Calif., about 80 miles north of Los Angeles. Siemens Energy says the […]
