Advanced data analysis: What is it and what is it used for?

Today, data is at the core of modern businesses. Knowing how to use and understand your data will give you a competitive edge and allow you to keep up with today’s fast-paced marketplace. Advanced data analysis (ADA) will help you achieve these goals. This branch of data science spans many disciplines, like computer science, which includes programming, mathematics, statistics and logical reasoning. It consists of collecting, cleaning and arranging raw big-data (unstructured, structured and semi-structured) so new knowledge can be extracted from it. This knowledge will be used to improve decision-making and optimize business performance by increasing efficiency and reducing production losses, among other options. Data science experts carry out these tasks. They use several tools to (1) manipulate data, (2) use or build algorithms to solve complex problems that standard systems cannot solve and (3) generate results (statistics, visualizations) that users can interpret to draw conclusions.

Should liquid rheostat drives be considered obsolete?

Considering the latest technological advancements on variable frequency drives (VFD), some industrial clients could be wondering whether liquid rheostats are still technically and economically viable options for new projects. Others who currently operate using this technology could be debating whether or not they should invest to upgrade their current motor drive systems. Where do we stand?

The challenges of integrating renewable energy sources into off-grid power systems

Off-grid power systems in remote areas generate most of their electricity from fossil fuels. However, these fuels are expensive and have a very negative impact on the environment. Integrating renewable energy sources, like solar and wind power, is an environmentally-friendly solution to the energy needs of remote communities and industrial sites. Ideally, the required power should be generated from renewable energy sources. However, integrating a large amount of renewable energy can pose a few challenges to power systems operation.

Promoting environmental and social compliance of your projects

Proponents and developers often have to obtain environmental approvals before proceeding with project construction or implementation. These approvals, which may come from various levels of government (federal, provincial or municipal), outline the effects of projects on biophysical and social environments.
