Lighting the Way

An Australian Approach to Energy Innovation and Collaboration

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Just as global demand for energy is steadily increasing, so too, are the recognized costs of power generation. A recent report about the possibility of creating a low-emissions future by Australia's Treasury noted that electricity production currently accounts for 34 percent of the nation's net greenhouse gas emissions, and that it was the fastest-growing contributor to … [Read more...]

Be a People Person

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

I have to admit it. Despite all the exciting new technologies out there, I am finding myself to be a people person when it comes to building smarter grids and more intelligent utilities. Granted, technology is rapidly developing and the utility industry is finding itself in the middle of more and more automation. However, people - from linemen to consumers - will remain … [Read more...]

Power and Patience

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

The U.S. utility industry - particularly the electric-producing branch of it, there also are natural gas and water utilities - has found itself in a new, and very uncomfortable, position. Throughout the first quarter of 2009 it was front and center in the political arena. Politics has been involved in the U.S. electric generation and distribution industry since its founding in … [Read more...]

Managing the Plant Data Lifecycle

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Intelligent Plant Lifecycle Management (iPLM) is the process of managing a generation facility's data and information throughout its lifetime - from initial design through to decommissioning. This paper will look at results from the application of this process in other industries such as shipbuilding, and show how those results are directly applicable to the design, … [Read more...]

Surviving the Turmoil

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

With the new administration talking about a trillion dollars of infrastructure investment, the time for the intelligent utility of the future is now. Political pressure and climate change are going to drive massive investments in renewable and clean energy and smart grid technology. These investments will empower customers through the launch and adoption of demand response and … [Read more...]

Business Process Improvement

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

In the past, the utility industry could consider itself exempt from market drivers like those listed above. However, today's utilities are immersed in a sea of change. Customers demand reliable power in unlimited supply, generated in environmentally friendly ways without increased cost. All the while regulators are telling consumers to "change the way they are using energy or … [Read more...]

Future of Learning

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

The nuclear power industry is facing significant employee turnover, which may be exacerbated by the need to staff new nuclear units. To maintain a highly skilled workforce to safely operate U.S. nuclear plants, the industry must find ways to expedite training and qualification, enhance knowledge transfer to the next generation of workers, and develop leadership talent to … [Read more...]

Modeling Distribution Demand Reduction

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

In the past, distribution demand reduction was a technique used only in emergency situations a few times a year - if that. It was an all-or-nothing capability that you turned on, and hoped for the best until the emergency was over. Few utilities could measure the effectiveness, let alone the potential of any solutions that were devised. Now, demand reduction is evolving to … [Read more...]

Measuring Smart Metering’s Progress

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Smart or advanced electricity metering, using a fixed network communications path, has been with us since pioneering installations in the US Midwest in the mid-1980s. That's 25 years ago, during which time we have seen incredible advancements in information and communication technologies. Remember the technologies of 1985? The very first mobile phones were just being … [Read more...]

New technologies such as intelligent networks or smart grids, distribution automation or smart metering are being considered. The communications network is becoming the key enabler for … [Read more...]

Online Transient Stability Controls

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

For the last few decades the growth of the world's population and its corresponding increased demand for electrical energy has created a huge increase in the supply of electrical power. However, for logistical, environmental, political and social reasons, this power generation is rarely near its consumers, necessitating the growth of very large and complex transmission … [Read more...]

PHEVs Are on a Roll

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

The electric vehicle first made its appearance about a century ago, but it is only in recent years - months, to be more precise - that it has achieved breakthrough status as, quite possibly, the single-most important technological development having a positive impact on society today. Climate change, over-dependence on fossil fuels, and the current economic crisis have combined … [Read more...]

Successful Smart Grid Architecture

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

The smart grid is progressing well on several fronts. Groups such as the Grid Wise Alliance, events such as Grid Week, and national policy citations such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in the U.S., for example, have all brought more positive attention to this opportunity. The boom in distributed renewable energy and its demands for a bidirectional grid are … [Read more...]

A Smart Strategy for a Smart Grid

January 1, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Every year, utilities are faced with the critical decision of where to invest capital. These decisions are guided by several factors, such as regulatory requirements, market conditions and business strategies. Given their magnitude, decisions are not made hastily. Careful consideration is given to the financial and operational prudence of large capital projects, such as power … [Read more...]
