Nuclear Cogeneration for District Heating and Process Steam: Temperature and Distance Decide
Nuclear heat extraction framed as an electricity-for-heat exchange, with criteria on temperature, pipeline distance, and backup boilers.
ESS Container HVAC in Normal Mode: Why Condensation Margin Comes Before Temperature — Split Control Inputs and PCS Power Limiting
In low-load, humid seasons the key variable for ESS container HVAC is condensation margin. Split control inputs, a dew-point cooling floor and PCS derating on HVAC loss.
18.4 GW of AI Data Centers and MW Swings in Milliseconds — Will the Grid Code Treat Load Like a Generator?
Korea’s coming AI data center grid code targets MW swings in milliseconds. What matters is MW and cycles, not kWh, and sharing UPS batteries is risky.
K-BATTERY SHOW 2026 Opens at KINTEX in September: Pre-Registration Opens for ESS and Fire Safety Seminars
K-BATTERY SHOW 2026 runs September 9-11 at KINTEX with ESS & EV TECH. For power systems and ESS readers, the fire safety session and the SFPE international seminar are the most relevant.
Transformer Overload Outages: Replacement First or Load Management First?
Transformer outages during the August 2026 heat wave, and a checklist that uses measured load factor to decide between replacement and load management.
IAEA ATLAS Launches Floating SMR Standardisation: A Grid Connection Safety Interlock Checklist
With the IAEA’s ATLAS project for floating SMRs and nuclear-powered ships under way, a grid connection safety interlock checklist for offshore platforms, from an electrical engineer’s view.
Renewable Monitoring and Control Equipment Extended to 20kW: What Small Generators Need to Prepare
Korea’s Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment has extended mandatory renewable monitoring and control equipment from 90kW to 20kW or more. Ahead of the 2027 start, the communication fail-safe interlocks and I/O configuration small generators should check.
EV Batteries Grow 20% but China Takes 73%: LFP Cost Made the Difference
While the EV battery market grew 20%, the combined share of seven Chinese companies rose to 72.8%. Korea’s three battery makers lost ground instead.
Offshore Wind Subsea Cable and Substation Protection Coordination — Differential Protection and Energization Interlocks When Fault Current Comes from One Side
With converters limiting fault current, differential rather than overcurrent protection leads offshore. Charging current, inrush and energization interlocks together.
Breaker Failure Protection in a Nuclear Switchyard: Review the Trip Map by Offsite Power Paths
Reviewing 50BF in a breaker-and-a-half nuclear switchyard: current and 52a detection, re-trip and DTT, and how a center breaker failure hits offsite power circuits.
