The Energy Exchange explores the complex and critical intersection of energy, money and technology. Experts will use their insights and forecasts to outline what energy is available to us, the costs associated with that energy production and its use, and the technological innovations changing the way we utilize Earth’s resources to power our way of life.

The Energy Exchange and host David Hidinger have already had an insightful and varied ride in a mere 11 episodes, with guests from varied industries and locations spread throughout the globe joining the show to share their front-line insights into the ever-changing energy landscape.

With that in mind, Hidinger took this episode of the show to look back on those episodes and hit the high points, offering a quick tour through the educational and engaging conversations to this point.

In episodes one through 11, he and his guests have covered:

-Improved Battery Technologies

-Disputes over Pipelines

-The Shale Revolution & Power Grids

-Expanding Electric Transmission Lines

-Designing Sustainable Cities

-Simulating Vertical Windmills

-Protecting America’s Cyber Infrastructure

-How to Use IoT to Manage the Energy Grid

-What Will The Home of The Future Look Like?

-How to Get Perfect Power in the Home

-Could New Technology Pioneer an Entirely New Era of Seawater Mining?

That’s quite the tour around the industry. Even so, Hidinger has identified several common trends, including new technology’s mark on the overall landscape and the acceleration of innovation, the role decreasing sensor costs have played in the industry, the impact of increases in computing power, and more.

In upcoming episodes, Hidinger and his guests will expand their lens even further, tackling what the world’s largest enterprises are doing in terms of energy and other forward-looking subjects.

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.
