Interconnection: 3 things renewable developers should know

If you’ve been hibernating for the last two years, you’re waking up to a shockingly different renewable price environment. In your mind, PPAs for wind energy under $40/MWh in North America were forecasted for 2030 and beyond. I understand your confusion. If you want your renewable projects that are currently under development to stand a chance in this new era, you must master all aspects of your project development process and consider the interconnection aspects right from the origination. The key mindsets are: be frugal, be strategic and be shrewd. Interconnection is now considered by developers’ community to be as important as resources, financing and social and environmental licensing.

Off-grid hybrid systems through adaptive power setpoints

Generating electricity using off-grid systems in remote areas is expensive and involves significant procurement and operational challenges. Optimizing the use of energy sources reduces fuel consumption, which has a direct impact on the environment.

Combustible dust: controlling the risk of explosion – Part 1

To read part 2 of our blog article about managing explosion hazards of combustible dust more effectively, click here. Few people are aware of fires and explosions caused by combustible dust, yet they occur regularly in the industrial sector. These types of accidents have caused more than 119 deaths and 700 injuries in the U.S. since 1990 (1). In 2012, two explosions occurred within a few weeks of each other at two British Columbian sawmills, resulting in four dead and 40 injured. On August 2, there was an explosion at a car parts factory, a subcontractor of General Motors located in Kunshan in the Chinese province of Jiangsu. This explosion killed 75 and injured 200.

Tonnage control under maximum and instantaneous power constraints

This paper presents a control solution to optimize ore transportation on a transfer conveyor belt fed by variable speed feeders. The purpose of this advanced regulatory control is to always operate at mechanical and electric constraints rather than at a sub-optimal average throughput.
