While discussions on solar energy usually focus on how to efficiently capture the sun’s rays and convert that to usable electricity, the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi has his sights set on developing solar energy storage capability.

At the World Government Summit in Dubai, the Prime Minister expressed his dedication to technology as a driving force in human advancement. In his keynote speech, the Premier stated that India aims to generate 175 gigawatts of power from renewable sources by as early as 2022.

He also announced India’s creation of a “solar alliance” to allow less-developed countries the opportunity to benefit from solar power’s emergence.

The Prime Minister made a point of emphasizing the historic relationship between India and the Sun.

He praised the forward-looking vision of his country’s leaders, citing the creation of the post of Minister of the Future in the UAE, as well as the appointment of a Minister of Happiness and Quality of Life.

The Premier reinforced the idea that technology can, and should, change the future of governance.

Sami Alnuaim's new book pushes oil fields toward making their own decisions

Sami Alnuaim's new book pushes oil fields toward making their own decisions

Intelligent oil field plans run into a scale problem. Roughly 70% of oil and gas digital initiatives never get past the pilot stage, so the payoff depends on funding, data ownership and engineering skills.

  • 01Roughly 70% of oil and gas digital initiatives never make it out of the pilot stage.
  • 02A sharper procurement question: which decisions can the system be trusted to make?
  • 03Emissions monitoring and safety data are the likeliest first places for intelligent workflows to scale, because sharing that data has historically drawn less resistance.

Drax Power Station could host a £20 billion AI data centre under a new Brookfield and Radiant deal

Drax Power Station could host a £20 billion AI data centre under a new Brookfield and Radiant deal

Drax Group has signed an agreement with Brookfield and Radiant to develop a data centre at Drax Power Station in North Yorkshire that could eventually exceed 1 GW of computing capacity, with total investment Brookfield estimates could exceed £20 billion including chips and equipment. The first phase targets up to 100 MW with commercial operations targeted for early 2028, subject to planning, regulatory and network approvals, customer commitments and final investment decisions; no final investment decision has been announced. Later phases of about 500 MW with behind-the-meter supply are described by Drax as ambitions rather than committed developments.

  • 01First phase of 100 MW targeted for early 2028 commercial operations, drawing power from the national grid through existing infrastructure
  • 02Second phase of approximately 500 MW envisioned for 2028 to 2031 with behind-the-meter supply from Drax's own generators under a long-term power purchase agreement
  • 03Drax's 4 GW grid access and 2.6 GW dispatchable generation support a colocated data-centre model at the site

Siemens moves microgrid wiring and testing from the jobsite to the factory

Siemens moves microgrid wiring and testing from the jobsite to the factory

Projects that fit Siemens' standard configurations skip much of the on-site integration. Anything else needs custom engineering.

  • 01A microgrid's controller, protective relays and switchboard can now ship as one factory-tested lineup, which moves much of the integration and protection testing off the jobsite.
  • 02The speed in MIS comes from standardization, so what it does for any one project depends on whether that project fits Siemens' standard configurations. Unusual ratings, controls or protection schemes go to custom engineering.
  • 03"Vendor-agnostic" applies to the energy assets: solar, batteries and generators from other suppliers can connect. The control and protection layer is Siemens' SICAM and SIPROTEC.
