Power Factors

Every day at Power Factors, we FIGHT climate change with CODE. However, we also recognize that around the world, as we strive to make a difference, humanity continues to be affected by changing weather patterns and climate-related disasters. As we close out 2024, Power Factors came together for Giving Wednesday, a one-day fundraiser dedicated to raising money for the Global Giving Foundation's Spain Flood Relief Fund. In October, massive floods invaded Valencia, Spain. 220 people were killed, 75,000 homes were flooded and 325,000 were affected. Water and gas supplies are intermittent and the economic fiber of the communities have been destroyed. Many people are still out of work and dependent on NGOs for food. We raised thousands of dollars to contribute to the overall goal of this fund to raise $1M. If you are so inclined, join in! This is the link to the Global Giving general donations page: https://lnkd.in/gx9vPAkX Join in to support the vision of a cleaner, greener, more sustainable world for future generations! #energytransition #renewableenergy

May your holiday season be filled with joy, peace, and renewal. Warm wishes from all of us at Power Factors!

Balancing the performance of wind, solar, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) can feel like an intense juggling act. But the right tools can make all the difference in streamlining operations, improving reliability, and driving profitability. Join our VP of Global Sales, Ioannis Grammatikakis in our "SCADA Uncovered" series as he breaks down the fundamentals of SCADA, explores how advanced control systems unlock the full potential of renewable energy assets, and highlights the key factors to consider when choosing the right SCADA solution.

Recently, Will Troppe, our Director of Product, and Robert Johnson, our Strategic Advisor, took part in a Reuters Events Energy Transition webinar 💻, "Powering the Future: Optimize Renewable Performance and Boost Energy Storage ROI for Rapid Growth." They were joined by Robert Pharris of Longroad Energy and Patrick DiCesare of Pattern Energy Group to discuss how industry leaders are leveraging adaptable solutions to drive scalable portfolio management, reduce risks, and enhance operational flexibility 📈. The session sparked incredible engagement 🔥—so much so that we couldn’t address all the questions live! Missed the discussion? Sign up to watch the recording here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gwTKRapr ⬅️

Renewable energy is reshaping how we manage the electrical grid. As the adoption of wind and solar power increases, the variability of these resources makes maintaining grid stability more challenging. In a recent article featured in Battery Technology, our Strategic Advisor, Robert Johnson, explores how battery energy storage systems (BESS) and grid-forming (GFM) inverters are addressing these challenges. From preventing blackouts to supporting microgrids, these technologies are laying the foundation for a more resilient and reliable energy grid.

SCADA systems are more than just a control tool—they’re the bridge between operational data and big-picture decisions. In the third and final video of our SCADA Uncovered series, Ioannis Grammatikakis shares how integrating SCADA data with business systems can improve real-time decision-making, optimize energy trading, and enhance grid stability. He also discusses how BESS and hybrid projects are creating new opportunities for profitability. Watch part three of SCADA Uncovered below 👇 #RenewableEnergy #SCADA #SCADASystems

Power Factors is a Remote-First company.🏡 For us, Remote-First means that we embrace flexibility in where our employees choose to work. It also means that we make intentional and purposeful efforts to come together in-person for collaboration and inspiration.  We hire across seven Centers of Excellence across the globe, using these as the hubs for our teams to gather and create. This week, we hosted our first “live” Town Hall since pre-COVID and, I have to tell you, it felt great!👌  The energy in the room was really motivating and, frankly, it was fun. Our IT team did an amazing job making it a unified experience for the large number of people in the room and our people dialing in from nine different countries. As my colleague said, “You know, we spent over 100 years developing office culture and we have had only four years to develop Remote-First culture.”  So true. However, I felt our team at Power Factors did a heck of a job cracking the code on hybrid mode this past week. Kudos!!🎉 If you are excited by 1) Creating a cleaner, greener, more sustainable world for future generations, and 2) working at a company that does Remote-First right, check us out!! #PowerFactors #RenewableEnergy #GreenTeam

As clean energy businesses prepare for a future filled with possibilities, agility and resilience have become the foundation of successful operations. Choosing the right SCADA system isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a strategic one. The right system ensures your renewable energy assets are equipped to adapt, evolve, and scale. In the second video of our SCADA Uncovered series, Ioannis Grammatikakis, our VP of Global Sales, explores what businesses should prioritize when selecting a SCADA and control system. From vendor-agnostic flexibility to robust cybersecurity, this video offers actionable insights to help you make SCADA decisions that set your operations up for long-term success.

Do you love SCADA like I love SCADA? How does one wake up one day and realize they are a SCADA engineer? It's not really something they teach as a discipline in college. Yet sure enough, before you know it, there you are scanning networks, troubleshooting frame errors, drawing byzantine diagrams with labeled boxes connected with colored arrows, and sitting in a substation control building running a RIG test while the wind drives the rain diagonally through the door you have propped open to improve the cell reception...And you love all of it. At Power Factors, we love SCADA. But we do it a little differently as well. Check out below some of the factors you should be considering as you select your SCADA solution and vendor. And reach out to me if you'd like to discuss in more depth.
