Introduction Distributed energy resources (DERs) refer to small-scale power generation and storage systems that are located close to the point of consumption, typically at the distribution level of the electrical grid. DERs include—but are not limited to—renewable energy sources such as solar panels and wind turbines, energy storage systems such as electric vehicles and batteries, […]

At the close of COP27 last year, there were five crucial takeaways that charted the course for collective climate action, a defining challenge of our generation. These conclusions ranged from establishing a groundbreaking fund for loss and damage, a vital step in supporting countries battered by climate catastrophes, to setting a firm course towards maintaining […]

Compliance and security are increasingly important in a world full of ever-evolving security threats. This need for security is particularly apparent in the energy and utilities industry, where infrastructure is highly regulated by various parts of government. For gas distribution company SGN Ltd. (SGN), this made migrating its gas control infrastructure to the cloud a […]

The energy sector is increasingly recognizing the vital importance of women and diversity in driving innovation, enhancing decision-making, and fostering sustainable growth. In an era where global energy challenges are complex and multifaceted, the inclusion of diverse perspectives, particularly from women, is not just a moral imperative but a strategic necessity. By embracing diversity, the […]

Seismic Interpretation is the extraction of subsurface geologic information from seismic data. Due to the large data volumes and a move to 3D seismic interpretation, end users typically require high-spec workstations with 3D graphics cards and large, high-resolution monitors to make the most efficient use of the expensive data and machines. High latency in the […]
