PCI at ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit: AMPLIFY Methane Abatement

Yesterday the Net Zero Technology Centre Tech X Cohort 8 were taken for a fascinating visit to the National Decommissioning Centre. Pride of place amongst their many facilities is a 9m diameter simulator that allows complex marine operations to be simulated in a 300 degree immersive environment. Running the physics of waves, boats, cranes and the like it allows costly operations to be de-risked from the comfort and safety of dry land. One thing is for sure: after my attempt to (virtually) land a module on the back of a service vessel I will not be allowed anywhere near an offshore crane any time soon. Whilst waves and boats are not directly relevant to our development of concentrated solar technology at Orchid Solar it did get me thinking. How can we make better use of simulation tools to accelerate and de-risk our technology. #SolarThermal #IndustrialHeat

Transforming the Solar Industry with AI-Driven Lifecycle Management ☀️🤖 The future of renewable energy isn't just about hardware; it’s about intelligence. Integrating AI into the rooftop solar lifecycle is a game-changer for efficiency and long-term ROI. This video visualizes how an AI-native approach optimizes every stage—from the first satellite image to real-time grid stabilization: Remote Pre-Assessment: Using HD imagery and LiDAR to create 3D models and irradiance heat maps without even stepping on a roof. Design Optimization: Comparing manual layouts against AI-optimized designs to boost energy yield—sometimes by as much as 12%. Smart Operations: Leveraging digital twins for predictive maintenance, soiling detection, and dynamic load shifting. Continuous Feedback: A performance loop that ensures hardware gets smarter over time, improving accuracy and grid reliability. By moving away from manual "Scenario A" thinking and toward "Scenario B" AI agents, we can prioritize EV charging and solar consumption while stabilizing the grid. 🚗🔋 #SolarEnergy #RenewableEnergy #AI #SmartGrid #CleanTech #SustainableFuture

During a recent customer event, I got a great question from a fellow wave geek: “What’s better – time series or spectrum-based wave measurements?” It’s a classic discussion. Both approaches have their pros and cons, and we could easily spend hours debating accuracy, resolution, and applications. But this plot tells a more important story 👇 Even within a relatively small wind farm, significant wave height varies materially between sensors at the same moment in time. So the real question isn’t just how you measure waves… It’s where you measure them. Because if your data isn’t representative of the actual conditions where decisions are made, the method becomes secondary. 👉 Imagine making operational decisions based on: - a single measurement point - or worse, a model with coarse grid resolution In cases like this, that can lead to meaningful deviations from reality. Better decisions start with better data — and better coverage. Curious to hear others’ views: Where do you see the biggest gaps today — measurement technology or spatial representation?

Let’s talk LFP In the latest episode of MPI Studio, industry leaders Jun Sup Shin (CEO, Blue Nova Energy) and Michael Sirard (CTO, MPI Narada) break down what’s really happening in the evolution of battery technology and why it matters now more than ever for data centers. From the shift away from VRLA to the rise of LFP, this conversation goes beyond the basics. It’s a deep dive into safety, performance, and the real world challenges of educating the market on the next generation of energy solutions. What you’ll take away: • Why LFP is leading the conversation in modern battery deployments • How advanced monitoring and controls are redefining safety standards • The role of rigorous testing and validation in ensuring reliability • What’s next, a look at solid state to hybrid energy storage solutions BLUE NOVA ENERGY LLC and MPI Narada are driving the conversation forward, helping the industry navigate change with confidence. Ready to rethink battery strategy? Tune in and let’s chat LFP. #PTC26, #MissionCritical #EnergyStorage #DataCenter #VRLA #LFP

A couple of months ago at PTC'26, I had an unscripted and frank chat with Mike Sirard (CTO, MPI Narada), a recognized leader in LFP BESS deployment for mission-critical data centers.   It is encouraging to see MPI Narada blazing a trail by conducting full-spectrum cell and battery characterization—going well beyond the safety bars set by industry standards like UL and IEC, which are often mistakenly accepted as PROOF that a battery system is absolutely safe.   While safety regulations are vital for setting a baseline, there are currently no universal standards for operational performance. In a market rushing to meet under-budget, timely deployments, many hyper-scalers and utility companies are forced to rely on OEM claims with limited characterization data and full scale modeling. This has led to a "Mandarin vs. Orange" comparison—they may look the same on the shelf, but the internal performance and risk profiles are vastly different.   At Blue Nova Energy LLC, we believe that "good enough" isn't enough for critical infrastructure. We are here to bridge that gap, providing the guidance and data-vetting and economics assessment needed to ensure our partners aren't just buying a battery, but a high-performing asset. #BESS #DataCenters #EnergyStorage #LFP #BlueNovaEnergy #RenewableEnergy #DueDiligence #SupplyChain #EnergyTransition #Hyperscale #CleanTech #BatteryPerformance #ProjectManagement #Charaterization

It’s hard to fix what you can’t see. We talk with operators all the time working off ad-hoc datasets, without a clear view across their assets. That’s where things get messy: missed issues, slow decisions, guesswork. At Horizonview, we focus on that first layer: Clean, consistent visibility across large areas. Fixed-wing capture. Thermal, RGB, LiDAR. Outputs that are ready to use. Solar, oil and gas, and anything where change over time actually matters. If getting a clearer read on your assets is on the list this year, happy to show what we’re seeing. — Horizonview Technologies
