Power Factors

📈 What if you could add new controllable capacity to your renewable portfolio, without building a single new plant? With global data center energy use expected to more than double by 2030, surpassing the total annual consumption of Japan (IEA, Energy and AI, 2025), the pressure is on for grid solutions that can deliver more capacity, faster. 💡 Virtual power plants (VPPs) offer a smart way to bridge that gap, adding flexible, dispatchable power without costly buildouts. Our latest white paper explores: ✅ How VPPs turn distributed assets into single, dispatchable power sources ✅ Design strategies for flexibility, resilience, and stronger returns ✅ Market and technology approaches that minimize penalties and optimize value 🔗 Get the full white paper here: https://lnkd.in/gTfBHD2A

✨Power Factors has reached 20,000 followers!✨ We’re truly grateful for this community. Your passion, curiosity, and the work you do across the renewable energy industry make this space worth showing up for. Thank you for being here, for engaging with us, and for being part of the conversation as we help customers grow their clean energy operations. We appreciate you. 💚

A huge thank you to the organizers and attendees of the Battery Asset Management Summit in San Diego last week! 🔋☀️ It was an honor to serve as a panelist along with Bryce Sullivan, Shyam Srinivasan, and Marci Palmstrom as our moderator. Our conversation ranged from high level portfolio management techniques, all the way into specific analytics that smart EMS can incorporate into BESS operations. I really enjoyed our fluid conversation, and I'm encouraged at the state of the industry today and upcoming innovations in the space around optimization of these dynamic assets.   I left feeling both grateful for the opportunity and optimistic about the future of large scale BESS. Also found the conversations on overbuilding vs. augmentation to be very insightful. My key takeaway: deep integrations will enable optimal asset management at scale. I’m especially hopeful that we can leverage the valuable lessons and operating practices already established by fellow renewable energy developers, owners, and operators while also incorporating ground breaking innovations. Let’s keep the conversation going! #BESS #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy #AssetManagement #BatterySummit

We hear from BESS operators all the time that the biggest blockers in their day-to-day are the gaps between systems, unreliable data, and constantly choosing between performance, health, and compliance. The right software can help reduce these daily frustrations, giving operators more clarity, control, and confidence in their decisions. 📘 Download the eBook 5 Overlooked Gaps in Your BESS Strategy—and What They’re Costing You to see how: https://lnkd.in/gx4g7vKg

What’s on the horizon for renewables operators in 2026? I had the chance to explore that last week as the host of Power Factors’ 2026 outlook webinar. My biggest takeaways: 1. Every basis point matters when returns are getting squeezed, and optimization is more important than ever. We’re seeing Power Factors customers building out centralized performance teams, and making investments in advanced analytics and diagnostics. 2. Leaders are thinking at the portfolio level. Assets now have to be managed as a portfolio to make the most of real-time electricity markets, participate in PPAs, and deliver ancillary services. 3. Data quality is truly a competitive advantage, especially when it comes to M&A. Even if you’re not planning to transact, clean data is the best way to maintain critical intelligence for your operations. 4. AI is a co-pilot, not a tool. AI systems will give operators access to their data, with verifiable and transparent outputs — transforming raw data into actionable insights and synthesizing complex information. ...and so much more – if you didn’t catch it, you can find the recording here: https://lnkd.in/drmAHutu

I have spent my career at the intersection of technology and energy, and the excitement for the industry never ceases to grow! Recently, I had the pleasure of engaging in a discussion with Kenneth Carter from Wind Systems Magazine about my fresh responsibilities at Power Factors. Our conversation delved into the pivotal hurdles and prospects awaiting wind asset owners and operators when it comes to optimizing their performance and technology. It is difficult to such conversations and not take pride in Power Factors pivotal role in ensuring that the assets propelling the #energytransition maintain peak performance over the long haul.

If you’re headed to Battery Asset Management Summit USA, November 11-12, we’d love to connect! Let’s talk about what it takes to keep BESS assets running safely, reliably, and profitably, and how connected data and automated control make the difference. 📅 Book a one-on-one with us: https://lnkd.in/gd7QRbRu #BESS #EnergyStorage #BatteryAssetManagement #BAMUSA Battery Asset Management Summit Series

Renewable portfolios are more complex than they've ever been. Teams are managing more assets across more technologies: wind, solar, and storage, often in hybrid configurations. Operations are spread across multiple sites. Market volatility is real. Compliance requirements keep changing. Operations teams are managing more with the same resources, and standard monitoring simply wasn't built for this. On November 13th, join Power Factors' Deborah Beatty, Chief Strategy Officer, and Pramod Bangalore, Director, Advanced Analytics & Research, for a live webinar: Navigating renewables in 2026: Smarter portfolio intelligence for wind, solar, and storage. They'll walk through the trends shaping 2026 and how analytics is helping operators stay on top of performance across increasingly complex portfolios. 📅 November 13, 2025 | 10am ET | 4pm CET 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/g_dvRquf Can't make it live?
