EPRI Journal recently highlighted how participants in the June Global Forum for Nuclear Innovation plan to apply the tools provided there in their daily work. Kevin Lee (top center in the photo), senior regulatory policy officer at the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission – Commission canadienne de sûreté nucléaire, was inspired to use the toolkit to help his colleagues “think differently about how we can make things better, faster, and lot more efficient using digital solutions.” Although the #GFNI tools were developed with the nuclear industry in mind, they are broadly applicable and can be useful in any work environment.

How are utilities making the most of the potential short- and long-term advantages of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI? And what are the challenges that widespread adoption of AI may create in the energy industry? EPRI Senior Program Manager Robert Eugene Austin, III was one of seven energy industry experts invited to discuss these and other issues in the October broadcast of the United States Energy Association (USEA) Virtual Press Briefing, “The AI Revolution Underway in the Utility Space.” Organized and moderated by Llewellyn King, a veteran Washington D.C.-based news and public affairs host, panelists, including Austin, faced questions from five national and international energy-beat reporters from The Economist, Forbes, PBS, and others.

Piping and pipe fittings make up an enormous portion of critical infrastructure in a power plant. In fact, a typical plant will have miles of piping, and much of this and other infrastructure needs to be assessed regularly for component health. Examining high-pressure piping for wall thinning and assessing the need for repair or replacement conventionally involves the use of established nondestructive evaluation methods such as ultrasonic testing. This testing is normally carried out when a plant is shut down for an outage. But what if there were a way to obtain real-time data about a pipe’s status to enable operators to understand if a flaw was growing or not? Such an advancement could bring valuable improvements to data availability and maintenance economics. Giving operators and engineers that ability is something that Luke Breon, EPRI Senior Technical Leader, and others are researching in EPRI’s laboratories. Using electrical resistance strain gauges, they have demonstrated that the health of piping can be qualitatively evaluated for fitness for continued service. The technology under demonstration, in combination with fiber optics technology and other sensors capable of operating in high-temperature environments, promise the ability to provide real-time feedback on piping status. The team is also looking at how external vibration sources could be used with strain gauges in applications to extend this work to low-pressure components expected to be used in emerging reactor designs.

On September 26th during #ClimateWeekNYC, EPRI launched The Finance-Utility Dialogue on GHG Targets and Low-Carbon Transition Risk. The event was an initial intimate conversation on investor and utility needs, approaches, and challenges with respect to greenhouse gas (#GHG) target setting and the assessment of risk associated with transitioning to low-carbon futures. Thank you to all who engaged in the vibrant, substantive discussion and to our event partners: Con Edison, National Grid, and Edison Electric Institute. This event was part of EPRI’s SMARTargets Initiative: https://lnkd.in/efAvWxes

The growth of Artificial Intelligence is requiring the construction of new data centers, and EPRI is working with hyperscalers and other stakeholders to explore nuclear’s role in meeting the growing need for electricity to help power energy-intensive data applications. EPRI’s research reveals that data centers are projected to consume 5% to 9% of total U.S. electricity generation annually by 2030, up from 4% today. The operators of those data centers want to use carbon-free, firm, dispatchable electricity for power to help meet environmental goals. As outlined in this recent article (https://lnkd.in/ez8JppTc) from Latitude Media, nuclear power is increasingly an option that is being considered by data centers to achieve their goals either by contracting with existing plants, reviving plants that have been shut down in recent years, or constructing new nuclear units. Last week, more than 60 stakeholders from the data center and nuclear power industries met in Washington D. C. at an EPRI-hosted workshop to share insights and better understand each other’s needs and requirements. The workshop included overviews of nuclear technologies and data centers, nuclear siting, regulatory and policy considerations, 24/7 carbon free energy options, and nuclear-data center integration concepts. #industrycollaboration #nuclearenergy #datacenter Learn more about data center energy consumption here: https://lnkd.in/e26aqNpe

Congratulations to Daniel Brooks for being re-appointed as a member of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC)! 🎉 https://lnkd.in/gt82HHq2 The EAC plays a crucial role in advising the DOE's Office of Electricity (OE) on current and future electric grid reliability, resilience, security, and more. With a total of 40 members, the committee is an important component of OE's strategy to improve its electric grid research, development, and demonstration portfolio and program activities. ⚡🔋 #Energy #ElectricGrid #DOE #Innovation #Sustainability
