How we can make our power grids more stable and resilient paid Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Global energy demand is forecast to rise over the next 20 years, but fossil fuels — currently the principal source of power generation — cannot meet growing needs.from the International Energy Agency . While fossil fuels will remain the primary source of electrical power for the foreseeable future, the increasing use of renewable energy sources like wind and solar needs to complement them.
The expansion held, but unfortunately, the grid’s patchwork quality makes it more vulnerable to the risk of power outages. When one part of the connected grid needs repair, everyone is at risk of losing electricity. Outdated engineering, antiquated transmission lines and alarming increases in catastrophic weather events and cyberattacks also contribute to an increasing number of outages.
Despite growing global concern over the climate-changing effects of greenhouse gas emissions, coal is expected to remain the world’s largest source of electricity. However, projections indicate that coal will only generate 25 percent of the world’s total power supply — a 38 percent decrease in share. Renewable sources of energy that aren’t depleted by use, such as water, wind and solar power, will make up the difference.
Thousands of sensors capture massive volumes of power plant data every second, and MHPS-Tomoni leverages this data to provide insights to operators towards maximizing overall plant performance.
