Drones in solar: where can automation deliver the most value? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Solar farms are getting bigger every year, and with them, so are the challenges of design, construction and maintenance. Drones are flying to the rescue to lower costs, improve safety and optimise output. Today, drones are being deployed across the full solar lifecycle, from site surveying and construction monitoring to post-commissioning O&M. In this episode, we explore how drones can deliver the most value for the industry. Joining us to share their insights are Suneil Sastri, VP of product ma
Can digitised colonial records unlock the DRC’s mineral exploration potential? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Democratic Republic of Congo is seeking greater access to historical geological records held in Belgium as the country looks to exert greater control over the information underpinning its mineral wealth. The involvement of US mining company KoBold Metals has added a new dimension to the debate, bringing geological archives into the wider discussion around digital exploration and critical minerals. But how valuable is geological information collected decades ago? We speak with Junior Nsimba B
Electrifying offshore: what is slowing rig electrification? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Offshore oil and gas electrification has proven benefits including lower operational costs and emissions reductions. However, global uptake has remained low and, outside of Norway, most platforms still rely on fossil power. Potential decarbonisation wins have been overshadowed by rising infrastructure costs and long connectivity timelines, but the burgeoning offshore renewables sector could bolster the oil and gas industry’s economic incentive to electrify. Unpacking why upstream electrification
AI in smart grids: how grid tech is navigating challenges and opportunities (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI represents a huge opportunity for the grid sector facing a rapidly changing load landscape. However, for the historically conservative and risk-averse industry, trustworthiness remains a hurdle to mass implementation. Fragmented network data is another challenge – at the same time, it could represent an opportunity for AI to work around the flaws. In this episode, we gather insights directly from three leading grid management tech providers: Ralf Blumenthal, SVP Europe at Siemens Grid Softwar
Underground LDES: turning mines and caverns into energy storage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As intermittent renewables expand, so does the demand for long duration energy storage (LDES). However, different geologies and applications require tailored solutions, and increasingly developers are looking to the subterranean. Underground storage bypasses some limitations of traditional electrochemical batteries, including degradation, thermal runaway and supply chain constraints. However, compressed air energy storage (CAES) and underground gravity energy storage (UGES) bring their own techn
