Traditionally, the customer side of power generation has not received much attention. Today's customers are using rooftop solar, residential wind, fuel cells, microturbines, residential solar and many other energy sources

Underwater network

There are thousands of kilometers of undersea power cables on the seabed, so why not connect the electrical grid there too? The idea has cropped up periodically over the years as oil rigs, gas platforms and wind farms have popped up offshore.

Too many SPPs and WPPs increase the cost of the energy system

If solar panels and wind turbines continue to get cheaper, why build anything else?
As the number of solar panels and wind farms increases, their overall productivity decreases. The cost of an individual solar panel is low, but when there are many of them, the cost of the entire system is quite high.

US Switchgear Market

Since the global electricity market has adopted the AC system rather than the DC system for transmitting and distributing electricity, switchgears serve as the backbone of electrical networks.

Decarbonization with renewable gas

One way to decarbonize the electricity grid is to use renewable hydrogen, that is, hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources. The process involves using wind and solar power intermittently to create hydrogen through electrolysis, and then burning the renewable hydrogen in gas turbines when grid power is needed.

DER platform supports home energy storage

Integrating Sunverge's advanced platform with LG's energy storage system will provide advanced consumer and network services for customers and utilities.

Network management flexibility: batteries

With significant uncertainty about the role batteries will play in power system management, how should grid operators and utilities position themselves to respond to changes in the market?

Utilities are accelerating their move to the cloud

Improving the customer experience has been cited as a key driver for increased investment in cloud technology.

What we don't hear from the media about global climate shocks

Since 1990, greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity and industrial sectors have fallen, while emissions from the transport and residential sectors have increased.

Hydrogen, an important step towards independence from fossil fuels

With hydrogen produced from renewable sources such as wind power, much of today's carbon emissions associated with industry, transport and heating can be avoided.

How Energy Can Manage Risks

Utility leaders must devote time and resources to improving their digital risk management practices.

Switching and durability of low-voltage circuit breakers

The factors of longevity of operation of low-voltage switches (how long the contacts will withstand) in connection with switching operations are considered.

Cross stitch effect

XPE is a recognized abbreviation for cross-linked polyethylene. This, and other cross-linked synthetic materials, of which ethylene propylene rubber (ERP) is the most notable example, are increasingly being used for cable insulation over a wide range of voltages.

When a consumer complains that equipment is damaged due to voltage deviation

While voltage fluctuations and momentary power outages cause the most common power quality problems, there are other causes of equipment failure and disruption.

Electrical Maintenance Management 4

Based on the evaluation of the various factors discussed earlier, and the evaluation of other factors, if any, a decision is made to implement condition monitoring based maintenance. How exactly this program can be practically implemented is discussed below.

The impact of any equipment maintenance initiatives, including condition monitoring, must be predictable and measurable and related to the performance and reliability of the production unit. In addition, it should be remembered that monitoring systems, especially fully integrated technologies, are themselves subject to failures and failures and require maintenance.

Electrical Maintenance Management 2

A predictive maintenance management program is a maintenance program established for electrical equipment based on regular monitoring of its actual physical condition, operating parameters, operational efficiency and other indicators. A condition monitoring-based maintenance management program consists of techniques that attempt to “predict” or diagnose problems in electrical equipment based on the analysis of acquired data.

Electrical Maintenance Management 1

Over the past two decades, the concept of equipment maintenance has taken on different dimensions and has changed significantly, perhaps more than any other management discipline. Electrical equipment, which has a rather complex design, requires new methods of maintenance, and a change in views on the organization of maintenance and the responsibilities associated with it.

What to consider when choosing a location for a substation

At the stage of choosing a location for an electrical substation, it is necessary to determine the location that the future electrical power substation will occupy, including the placement of its main equipment.

The role of medium voltage distribution equipment

Since different levels of high voltage are used for the transmission of electricity and for its regional distribution, the term "medium voltage" has come to be used due to the wide variety of requirements and tasks of distribution equipment and substations.

A locksmith is often tasked with performing a number of work tasks. Throughout the entire work period, the mechanic must be protected from a variety of threats - mechanical shock, excessive humidity, hypothermia and others. When choosing special clothing, the set itself can vary greatly and depend on specific working conditions.

Set of workwear for mechanics

A set of special clothing for a mechanic can consist of several basic elements:
• Overalls;
• Boots;
• Jacket.

The composition of the kit may vary depending on the industry in which the locksmith is employed. The kit can be supplemented with helmets, respirators, safety glasses and other elements. Depending on the field of work, the requirements for fabric also change. In particular, when working in a car service center, the employee must be well protected from sparks, oil and various types of flammable substances. For plumbers, the main requirement for a set of clothing is protection from moisture and condensation.

A high-quality set of clothing must certainly be made of durable, easy-to-clean fabric. Overalls for locksmiths are sewn in such a way as to be as comfortable to wear as possible and not restrict movement.

High-quality special clothing from a trusted manufacturer

Our company offers its customers high-quality, strong and durable special clothing for locksmiths. Tailoring of workwear is carried out by professionals who select the optimal fabrics, tailored specifically for workers in the chosen industry. The catalog is presented as
