Harvesting electricity under pressure Materials are capable of some pretty remarkable things when they are under pressure; they may even produce electricity. More...

Energy produced from empty mines Mine shafts about to shut down do not have to be a burden; they may be able to provide geothermal energy to towns. More...

A pinch of salt brings cleaner air Flue gas from a coal-fired power plant can be a very dirty environment for the environment, but by separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from its polluting source, it may soon become cleaner and more efficient. More...

University gets solar power boost Newly installed solar panels that automatically track the sun as it crosses the daytime sky and concentrates sunlight onto hundreds of electricity-producing solar cells, each smaller than a shirt button, is now producing electricity at the University of California at San Diego. More...

Energy feature: Cutting energy consumption While engineers specialize in specific manufacturing processes, few seem to focus on the overall efficiency of the plant, particularly in the use of energy. Whether it is a car plant in Detroit or a calcium carbonate plant in Malaysia, being smart about how a manufacturer uses energy is such an important factor for any company these days. More...

Advanced Energy Solutions suite
Advanced Energy Solutions, a suite of process control, monitoring, and optimization applications, is designed specifically for industrial power generation facilities. The suite allows industrial power and cogeneration plants to balance electricity generation demands with operational efficiencies and regulatory constraints.

MC4 documenting process calibrator
The MC4 is a new compact-sized documenting process calibrator. Being a multifunction calibrator, the MC4 is suitable for calibrating various process parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and electrical signals. Calibration results are automatically stored in the MC4's memory.
