Acireale, December 18, 2025 - BaxEnergy, a Yokogawa Company, announces today the global release of the new BaxEnergy’s Power Plant Controller (PPC) - Core, marking a significant evolution of the company’s legacy control technology for renewable power plants. As renewable penetration accelerates and grid codes become more demanding worldwide, power producers
Cybersecurity in the global power sector has reached an inflection point. While renewable energy capacity accelerates, so do the attacks targeting the infrastructure that supports it. Europe alone experienced 48 successful cyberattacks on energy infrastructure in 2022, and the trend has only intensified since then. Globally, the energy sector now faces an
Most of the world’s largest energy companies experienced a cybersecurity incident in 2023. Critical infrastructure has become a priority target for both state-aligned actors and organized cybercrime, and the sector’s accelerating dependence on digital systems—SCADA, PPC, remote access, cloud analytics—has widened the attack surface. When an attack lands, the impact
When a new solar or wind farm comes online, the first question from the grid operator isn’t “How much energy will it generate?” but “Will it comply with the grid code?”Grid code compliance is the invisible passport every power plant needs to connect to the electricity network. Without it, projects
For renewable asset managers, success depends on tracking the right performance metrics. From wind farms to solar PV plants, each site generates vast amounts of data—but not all KPIs are equally visible.There are 4 KPIs every asset manager should track to understand efficiency, availability, and reliability. And then there is
What Are Hybrid Power Plants? A hybrid power plant combines different renewable generation technologies—such as wind turbines or photovoltaic (PV) solar—with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) or other storage technologies. Unlike single-technology plants, hybrid facilities are designed to operate as an integrated system, where energy is produced, stored, and dispatched to
Days Hours Minutes 17-19thSeptember 2025Japan’s premier renewable energy showcase will bring together the visionaries, innovators, and decision-makers shaping the region’s energy transition, for three days of high-impact networking, knowledge sharing, and collaboration.Why attendUnrivalled value-chain access – Smart Energy Week 2025 unites the complete renewable energy ecosystem—IPPs, utilities, EPCs, investors, technology
Summer is the peak season for solar power — but it’s also the time when high temperatures, dust, and seasonal weather patterns can quietly erode photovoltaic (PV) performance. While longer daylight hours increase potential yield, thermal derating, soiling losses, and inverter clipping can quickly eat into your profits.In this article,
The global renewable energy sector is undergoing a pivotal transformation. As the sector evolves to meet growing demand and the production of clean assets continues to scale, industries must also brace themselves for the underlying challenges. Chief among these is the issue of grid instability and integration. With greater reliance
