Why homeowners are choosing standby generators for power outages

❄️When temperatures drop, risks to generation facilities rise. NERC's newly approved EOP-012-3 standard strengthens generator cold weather preparedness - shortening timelines, adding reviews and refining what qualifies as a "Generator Cold Weather Constraint." In our latest regulatory update, we break down the changes and outline what generator owners should do now to stay compliant and keep generation flowing. 👉Read the update: https://okt.to/wDNJX8 #NERC #GeneratorOwner #Power #PowerGrid

Fall outage season is here! Time to get your gas turbines in peak condition for the winter. But have you checked your filtration lately? Some Fall Outage Checklist ideas to keep your units breathing easy: 1. Inspect filters: Check for dust loading, moisture, and corrosion. Don’t let hidden buildup surprise you later. 2. Seal integrity: Ensure filter doors, gaskets, and frames are tight. Air leaks = efficiency leaks. 3. Drain check: Clear out any standing water because corrosion isn't part of the design. 4. Weather hoods & louvers: Clean out leaves, bugs, and debris nature’s version of a prefilter but they should be removed. 5. DP trends: Review differential pressure history; plan your changeouts before the rush. 6. Hardware & coating: Look for rust or worn coatings that could lead to bigger issues down the road. A few simple checks now can keep your turbine humming smoothly through the cold months ahead; and if you need some assistance let Camfil Power Systems know. Whats on your outage checklist this season?   (Photo is from one greatest movies of all-time. Who else has watched it dozens of times?)   #PowerGeneration #GasTurbineOutage #MaintenanceChecklist #IndustrialFiltration #Camfil #CamfilPowerSystems

Why microgrids for Jamaica Microgrids (PV + battery + controller + optional genset) can island during grid collapse and keep critical services powered (hospitals, water pumping, telecoms, shelters). This is the single biggest resilience advantage vs. central thermal plants which rely on long transmission lines and fuel supply chains that often fail during hurricanes.

Power equipment runs long hours in hot environments. But many don’t realize oil degradation accelerates with heat. From the Field, we’re seeing longer drain intervals and fewer breakdowns with the right oil choices. #FromTheField #PowerReliability #ChevronGST #HighTempPerformance

Across the deserts and mountains of the Middle East, thousands of high-voltage towers stand tall, carrying electricity over hundreds of kilometers. But the true safety and reliability of these lines lie underground — in the grounding system. Grounding (or earthing) in Overhead Transmission Lines (OHTL) provides a safe, low-resistance path for lightning strikes and fault currents to flow into the earth. Without it, even minor faults can cause power outages, equipment failure, or.... Read Full Article: https://lnkd.in/dsB_xpjT

Investor‑owned utilities (like Puget Sound Energy) are profit‑driven. Preventive maintenance and modernization cost money, so upgrades are often deferred. They can even profit off rate increases after damage, so there’s little incentive to prevent outages fully. Weather isn’t the true cause, fragility is: When storms aren’t that bad, it’s not the weather, it’s how brittle the system is. The grid wasn’t designed for resilience; it was designed for efficiency & centralized control.
