Innovation and durability can go together. In the 1980s, a heat pump by Atlas Copco Group began turning wastewater into energy, to provide heating for the Swedish city of Gothenburg. The solution still runs today and is a perfect example of innovation that stands the test of time.

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing is reshaping power system validation by enabling realistic, system-level assessments under dynamic grid conditions. In this interview, Fabian Renzo of KEMA Labs explains how HIL enhances resilience, supports renewables integration, improves interoperability, and helps utilities and manufacturers reduce risks before deployment.

Quanta Technology empowers US utilities to shift from legacy tools to optimisation-driven planning using Gurobi. Its AI-based solution enhances grid reliability and resilience by solving complex system models at full scale – improving performance, reducing outages, and enabling smarter, faster decision-making for a more sustainable and efficient energy future.

At this year’s INTERSOLAR Europe solar photovoltaics (PV) exhibition in Munich, a company from Italy named WiseGlow became a focal point of the industry.
