TECHNOLOGY
Electrification of Everything-Digital Circuit Breakers
Support DER Adoption
42
Electrification is a buzzword for the power generation space, as power producers
study the impact an all-electric world will have on the industry. Most
energy experts agree there's a need for new technologies to help bring higher
levels of distributed energy resources to the power grid, and the digital circuit
breaker could be a game-changer.
COAL POWER
Addressing the Increased Need to Decommission Power
Plants in a Sustainable Manner
42
More coal-fired power plants are being decommissioned, and utilities are
finding it's important to have a partner to ensure the success of a decommissioning
project. Reclamation and remediation of a closed site brings opportunities,
both for utilities and the communities they serve.
WATER
Water Intake Reliability in the Age of Environmental Uncertainty
Cooling water is critical for efficient operation of thermal power plants, but
several factors are contributing to an increase in blockages of cooling water
intakes. Power plant operators need to have good programs in place to limit
problems and improve the reliability of their water intake systems.
SHOW PREVIEW
Experience POWER
44
Experience POWER is the only live event in 2021 covering the full energy value
chain for the power industry, delivering the best content, and more relevant
sessions and technology than any other power generation trade show. It will
arm you with tactics to implement immediately to make your facility and infrastructure
more resilient, more reliable, and more profitable. The event will
be held this year at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio,
Texas, Oct. 18-21. A sampling of the exhibitors is highlighted in this preview.
Distributed Energy Conference
The Distributed Energy Conference is the power generation industry's foremost
event about distributed generation, bringing together utility-scale electricity
providers with power generators utilizing distributed energy resources,
including commercial and industrial facilities, cooperatives, and private enterprise.
The conference will be held this year at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention
Center in San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 18-21. A sampling of the exhibitors is
highlighted in this preview.

With the increasing participation of electric vehicles and renewables in the
energy mix, there's a growing need within the power industry to operate the
electrical grid-a highly complex system with billions of end points all influencing
one another-like a piece of electronics. (Visit powermag.com and search

DISTRIBUTED ENERGY
DER Orchestration Helps Utilities with Challenges of
Grid, Decarbonization
Renewables have quickly become the world's second-largest source of electricity
generation, and distributed energy resources (DERs) challenge both
transmission and distribution grid operations. Renewables and DERs can involve
multiple organizations and actors within the electricity ecosystem and
must be orchestrated to ensure grid resiliency and reliability. (Visit powermag.com
