Power Quality: The Quiet Threat to Your Electrical Systems
It was a dark and stormy night – the kind where howling winds and lashing rain threaten electricity lines. Inside a dim factory, the drone of machinery seemed the only normalcy, until the lights flickered briefly. In that instant, a silent domino effect began. A motor sputtered and clunked as it reset. Somewhere, a server…

The Hidden Costs of Energy Loss: What Every Engineer Needs to Know
Energy loss is an integral part of any system that generates, transmits, or uses energy. However, this loss often goes unnoticed or is seen as simply the cost of doing business. For engineers, overlooking or underestimating energy loss can lead to major financial, environmental, and safety issues. By understanding the hidden costs behind energy loss,…

Why "More Data" Doesn't Always Mean Better Energy Management
Somewhere deep in the heart of a control room, screens glow with endless streams of numbers, charts, and blinking alerts. Data flows in torrents—kilowatts, voltage spikes, consumption peaks—flooding every corner of the system. It's hypnotic, almost beautiful, but here's the unsettling truth: all that data might be leading nowhere. Without the right tools, strategies, and…

The Rise of the Buzzword Overlords
Opinion piece The age of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought us many wonders. We've got AI playing chess and Go like a world champion, writing questionable poetry, and even suggesting what meal you might want to eat next (thanks, smart fridge—you really get me). But for all these advances, there's one area where AI has…
