"On the first day of the IEEE PES DAY T&D Conference, standing room only remained for the panel session “3 AM Topics That Keep Our Executives Awake – A Multi-Utility / Multi-Disciplinary Perspective”. Evidently, conference attendees seemed eager to see what issues were atop the priority list of utility decisionmakers, including panelist Alfonso Mugueta, representing Avangrid as Vice President of Planning & Coordination. After this captivating session, Mugueta met with Energy Central to further reflect what he and his fellow panelists had shared, offering a truly panoramic view of the evolving landscape where technological innovation, policy imperatives, and climate resilience intersect. Mugueta shared his perspectives on a range of topics, from the urgent need for grid modernization to the imperative of talent development and collaboration among utilities. Throughout the conversation, several key themes emerged, echoing the broader discourse unfolding at the conference: the growing load and capacity constraints, the imperative to address climate change impacts in real-time, and the delicate balance between short-term reactions and long-term planning."

How can CO2 advance CO2 emissions reductions? It may sound like a trick question, but our reimagination of the problem as part of the solution has been key to the success of our affordable, ultra-low-emissions decarbonization solutions. The need for creative thinking around the potential for CO2 to advance the energy transition (and how we can best accelerate CO2 emissions reductions) is why we’re excited to sponsor this year’s Supercritical sCO2 Power Cycles Symposium in San Antonio, Texas. We’ll highlight the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle, the first new power cycle invented since World War II, which leverages supercritical CO2 to achieve zero-emissions power. We also look forward to learning from our peers during panel sessions, keynotes, and technical presentations. What’s “The Role of sCO2 in the Global Energy Transition?” Come meet us at the conference and find out! Learn more about the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle: https://lnkd.in/d-HTbMqn

THINKING: Ocean Observation and Data Collection Devices: Given the importance of understanding marine ecosystems for climate research and conservation, our concept could involve the development of navigational energy-powered devices for ocean observation. These devices could collect data on parameters like temperature, salinity, and maritime-related life activity. The challenge would be to design them for long-term deployment and resistance to harsh marine conditions, possibly incorporating energy storage solutions for consistent operation. DOE Launches $1.7 Million Prize to Power Offshore Economy with Marine Energy - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today launched the Powering the Blue Economy™: Power at Sea Prize, which will award up to $1.7 million to competitors to advance technologies that use marine energy to power ocean-based activities. The first phase, CONCEPT, will center on developing teams and sound concepts, awarding up to 20 winners from a cash prize pool of up to $200,000. https://lnkd.in/g62TpqEi

During the WNE 2023 we had constructive discussion with colleagues from Czech 🇨🇿 Tomáš Kořínek and Tomáš Jochman. Our main topics to consider in the future cooperation are SMR elaboration and virtual commissioning program aiming to create future shape of the energy efficient generation and using. I wish you both to suceed in your development https://lnkd.in/d3KycAnS

You are right, Michael! Copenhagen Atomics is developing a complex set of solutions to the elements of a super miniature Thorium reactor functioning on molten salt. The question is not if it can be dome, but how to optimize the complex design to realize a flexible energy power-house, by stacking single reactors, each the size of a Maersk Container. These folks are about to revolutionize production of green energy. Remember nuclear energy is green!!!!!!!

Innovation in battery technology is essential for global energy security and tackling the climate emergency. Sounds like a great event. We need many more innovators, technologists and engineers to be addressing the complex problems the planet faces. Perhaps we can encourage some of the young people who achieved good A' level results today in STEM subjects to attend... Good to see strong take-up in maths (c. 97k students); computing - a great growth story with a 16.7% increase to 18,300 entries although not hitting great diversity yet with only around 15% women. But of course we're still struggling with stagnant entries in physics (c. 38k) and the very worrying decline in design & technology (c. 11k). Where will the engineers and technologists we need to tackle the great global challenges come from?

The journey towards achieving energy efficiency savings involves implementing measures to reduce energy consumption and increase resource utilization.
