Episode 12: Hvorfor er SCADA systemer essentielle i den grønne omstilling?

Oct 24 2024 18 mins

I dette afsnit skal det handle om SCADA. For på trods af, at vi hos SCADA International beskæftiger os med SCADA-systemer hver eneste dag, så har vi faktisk ikke dykket ned i begrebet her i vores podcast. Og som en ny medarbejder påpegede overfor os, så kunne det måske være en idé at gøre jer lyttere lidt klogere på, hvad SCADA egentlig er, og hvorfor SCADA-systemer er vi

Episode 11: Hvorfor er havet blevet vindindustriens foretrukne legeplads?

Sep 10 2024 37 mins

I dag skal vi snakke om offshore. Og det skal vi, fordi Energistyrelsen tilbage i april offentliggjorde Danmarks hidtil største udbud indenfor havvind, som med sin tilføjelse af minimum 6 GW skal mangedoble Danmarks havvindskapacitet. Og dette nye initiativ testamenterer ikke kun Danmark som en offshorenation, men åbner også for diskussionen om, hvad vi dog skal – og kan gør

Episode 10: Er vedvarende energi en (cyber)sikker vej at gå?

Aug 22 2024 26 mins

Cybersikkerhed. Det er sikkert et ord du har hørt op til flere gange det seneste år. Og det skyldes ikke mindst, at cyberangreb bliver mere og mere noget af et hverdagsfænomen for mange virksomheder og industrier. Og her er energibranchen ikke en undtagelse. Faktisk er energikilder og vores allesammens elnet ofte det, som står for skud i takt med, at flere områder bliver ele

In Short 6: How do we unlock the queue of renewables?

Jul 08 2024 19 mins

In an effort to build new renewable power plants and increase clean energy generation, many projects are being built and are projected to be built in the future. But they are encountering a challenge beyond their reach: grid constraints. And it's not a light one, as these challenges are building up a queue of renewable projects, waiting for a suitable grid, so they can generate ni

In Short 5: How does lack of control affect the control room?

Jun 04 2024 19 mins

As the renewable energy sector continues to expand, ensuring efficient and reliable operation of power plants is more important than ever. This crucial aspect of the energy sector happens behind the scenes, in spaces we don't often see in the news. It's not the new biggest turbine being developed, an alternative use for wind turbine blades, or a flashy technology like PtX (also kno

In Short 4: How can we switch NIMBY off?

Mar 05 2024 16 mins

Renewable energy represents 30% of the global electricity generation. We could think that green energy and the renewable transition are well on their way looking at these numbers. However, every action inspires counteraction, and with a spread in renewable asset installations, some groups appear to resist it. This phenomenon is called NIMBY (Not In My Backyard). But what exactly do

In Short 3: Why do we waste wind?

Feb 15 2024 14 mins

Today, in the efforts to create green energy sources, wind turbines are being installed quickly. But is building as many wind turbines as possible the solution to our climate problems? Because we often see wind turbines that are stopped, even though there is clearly wind. In this episode, we talk about wind turbine capacity factor and the reasons for changes in availability, such

In Short 2: Watt's behind electricity prices?

Nov 30 2023 16 mins

Have you ever looked at your electricity bill and wondered: what am I paying for? In an effort to transition to clean energy, electrification takes place. But electricity prices have risen in the last couple of years, and talking about the price of energy has become common among people. In this episode, we break down the economics behind your electricity costs, exploring the varia

In Short 1: Why are solar and batteries the power couple?

Nov 30 2023 17 mins

With 1,18 GW of cumulative installed solar PV power since 2000-2022, and with a steep prospect for the next years, solar power is rising in popularity, thanks to its cheap, flexible, scalable, and sustainable nature. So in a world hungry for clean energy solutions, the fusion of solar PV and batteries emerges as a game-changer, revolutionizing how we harness and store the sun's abu
