If there’s one thing power system professionals know, it’s balance. Balance is the essence of all that we do: balancing supply and demand, and creating innovative solutions that balance the three aspects of the energy trilemma: affordability, sustainability, and reliability.Read More

The evolution of Distribution System Operators (DSOs) is transforming the way energy is distributed and managed, with a significant focus on enhancing customer interfaces to achieve more efficient system operations. Internationally, DSOs are adopting innovative technologies such as smart meters and real-time data analytics to facilitate bi-directional communication with consumers, enabling them to monitor and manage their energy consumption more effectively. This shift towards a more interactive and responsive energy distribution model is driven by the integration of renewable energy sources and decentralized energy resources (DERs), which require flexible and dynamic network management.Read More

Low-impedance arc faults within insulating fluid-filled power transformers and reactors pose a critical threat, marked by a sudden surge in pressure, to the main tank and associated components like bushings and tap-changers. Such faults can lead to the rupture of these integral elements, resulting in catastrophic outcomes such as fires, oil spills, part ejections, substantial downtime, and potential safety hazards for both utility personnel and the public.Read More
