Storage is becoming a standard part of industrial energy strategy. But a BESS only delivers its value when measurement and control work together, across equipment from different vendors. Here is how that looks in a real plastics plant. Why storage is moving into the factory For years, battery storage [...]
The industry is having the right conversation, starting from the wrong point. For years, the standard approach has been: install, then correct the distortion with filters, reactors, redesigned transformers. It works, but it depends on equipment that has to keep working for the life of the installation — if [...]
A recent Bloomberg report highlights a striking reality: Europe could waste around 40 TWh of solar electricity this year — enough to power Greater London for an entire year — simply because grids cannot absorb the renewable energy being generated. This is no longer just a generation challenge. 👉 [...]
.. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is reshaping how energy-intensive industries compete in the global market. By putting a carbon price on imported goods, the EU is sending a clear signal: 👉 Emissions transparency and control are no longer optional — they are strategic. 📊 But what [...]
.. The role of the Plant Central Controller (CCI) is rapidly evolving. While Resolution 385/2025/R/EEL mandates its adoption for power modulation, implementing an advanced solution like the Electrex Libra CCI UPS PQ enables operators to move well beyond compliance. Rather than being just a regulatory requirement, the Libra [...]
.. From October 11, 2027, EU companies with an average annual energy consumption exceeding 85 TJ will be required to obtain ISO 50001 certification. This marks a significant regulatory shift, particularly for energy-intensive industries, transforming energy management from a periodic obligation into a continuous, structured process. But what [...]
.. The IEA Electricity 2026 report highlights a defining trend: global electricity demand is set to grow rapidly through 2030 as electrification accelerates across industry, transport and buildings — with data centres, EV fleets and heat pumps all playing a role. At the same time, renewable generation is [...]
.. The LIBRA CCI UPS is a Power Plant Controller (PPC) / Central Controller (CCI) that not only complies with the new requirements of ARERA Resolution 385/2025, but also incorporates additional functionalities and unique features, making it a multifunctional and strategic device. Libra CCI UPS: The System Engine [...]
.. The latest ENTSO-E technical report on instability detection in power-electronics-dominated systems delivers a clear message: ➡️ As power systems become increasingly converter-based, traditional monitoring is no longer sufficient. Modern instabilities are faster, more complex, and often invisible to basic RMS measurements. Harmonic resonance, control-loop interactions, and phase-angle [...]
.. For the first time, wind and solar generate more electricity in the EU than fossil fuels, according to Ember. This is a major achievement. It is also a structural shift in how electricity behaves. The energy transition is happening at grid level — but it will be [...]
