MANY YEARS AGO THE INTERNET CONNECTED THE WORLD OF INFORMATION. TODAY, NAD GRID IS CONNECTING THE WORLD OF ENERGY.

March 26, 2018

The supply of electricity was historically considered a natural monopoly, and a select few large players were given control. Over time, electricity generation was open to competition, but the infrastructure side of the grid remained monopolistic and managed by public utilities. Because of this, electricity is delivered to end users in a heavily regulated environment. New technologies and the widespread deployment of distributed energy resources (DER) are raising important questions to the way the grid is managed.

Breach Protection For Energy Companies

whitePaper | October 4, 2022

Business Challenge Widely classified as critical infrastructure, energy companies traditionally relied on the inaccessibility of their core technology environment to protect against threats. Today, energy companies are focusing on grid modernization, increasing connectivity between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) to provide myriad operational benefits and efficiencies. The environment has expanded to remote endpoints and networked devices used across the entire supply chain to improve collaboration, access and control. This interconnectedness, however, opens energy companies to considerable risk

Field Force Automation In The Electric Vehicles (Ev) Industry

whitePaper | May 4, 2022

Globally, electric vehicle (EV) sales grew 80% in 2021 and companies like Toyota and Volkswagen announced $170 billion of investment into electrification. Besides eliminating exhaust emissions and tackling part of the 23% of global CO2 emissions contributed by the transportation sector, EVs also provide key flexibility to the grid as we transition to a greater share of Renewable Energy (RE) supply. However, despite this global push, EVs only accounted for 7.2% of global car sales in 2021. The electric revolution still has a long way to go.

Leveraging advanced polyurethane resins and coatings to develop high-performance wind turbine blades

whitePaper | April 1, 2022

Covestro has applied its industrial expertise in high-tech polymer materials to develop innovative polyurethane (PU) solutions for wind turbine applications that offer performance benefits and lower blade costs. To evaluate the impact of our PU solutions for rotor blade applications, Covestro commissioned bewind GmbH, a specialist wind engineering consultancy company, to simulate the costs and benefits of these solutions in terms of production, operational performance, and turbine lifetime. The company evaluated three of our PU products: a pultrusion resin, an infusion resin, and coating raw materials for leading edge protection (LEP). The aim was to quantify the impact of Covestro polyurethane solutions compared to standard alternative products used on a typical offshore wind farm.
