The IEEE PES Industry Technical Support (ITS) Leadership Committee provides support to and cooperates with governments, regulators, and other industry organizations globally on technical issues related to power, energy, and policy topics.

Technological advances have resulted in a shift from centralized, inflexible power sources running on a unidirectional grid toward decentralized smart grids and microgrids.

Caterpillar Inc. announced the City of Colorado Springs, Colorado, has chosen Cat dealer Wagner Equipment to deliver and install a prime power system for the new 38,000 square-foot Pikes Peak Summit Complex.

Having reliable, consistent energy with no fluctuation in voltage or frequency is critical to the Granjas Carroll pork processing plant. But when the plant was first being built, having reliable power — or any power at all — was an uncertainty.

If a data center is only using a fraction of the available power, then the capital investment that is tied up in inflexible power infrastructure is impotent. The question is, who is paying for that stranded capacity and unused space?

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced PathWave Waveform Analytics, an edge-to-cloud computing application that improves anomaly detection and reduces data storage costs in pre-silicon validation using machine learning algorithms.

Tech-Link allows certified factory engineers and Cat dealer technicians to access Cat switchgear through a password-protected connection and remotely make software changes ranging from simple sensor and dashboard edits to complex adjustments in the sequence of operation.

In a recent interview with Mission Critical, Michael Regelski, senior vice president and chief technology officer for the Electrical Sector at Eaton, discussed a few of the ways the company is contributing to the fight against COVID-19.

These generators provide users with the flexibility to select the appropriate gas fuel source for a specific application — natural gas, liquid propane (LP), or patent-pending dual fuel — and are ideally suited to a variety of settings.

The MegaFlex UPS solution from ABB is targeting the IEC and UL market, with power ranges of up to 1.5 and 1.6 MW, respectively.
