Forecasted to be a $36.89bn market by the end of 2030, robotics are now central to wind turbine inspection and maintenance. Automation is removing much of the sector's danger, as drones and crawlers take over from rope access technicians and AI analyses data, but robots haven't replaced humans yet. We spoke to leaders in the robotic solutions space for wind turbine management to hear whether they expect robotics to replace humans, or whether a collaboration between the two could fill the sector's gaping skill gap, a point made by TNO's project manager for wind energy Janaki Mohanan Nair and programme manager for wind energy Jan Willem Wagenaar. Aerones' CEO, Dainis Kruze and Zeitview 's CTO, Matt Falk, commented on the developing role of AI, while BladeBUG's operations and business development manager James Concannon explained how robotics can offer a level of accuracy beyond human ability. https://lnkd.in/eRJkHmQY

From powering clean energy to strengthening agriculture to disaster response to enabling global connectivity — space technologies are shaping real-world solutions on Earth today. That’s why the upcoming 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2025 Sydney 29 Sept – 3 Oct) is such a pivotal place and point in time. Under the theme “Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth”, IAC 2025 will spotlight how space innovation drives progress in every sector, from building circular economies and climate resilience to securing future supply chains. For leaders in energy, technology, policy, and sustainability, space is the next marketplace.

EU carbon emissions targets have put pressure on automakers and penalties have caused controversy within the industry, but after a difficult 2024, Europe’s EV sales are now on an upward trajectory. https://lnkd.in/etA55YCC

Bringing balance out of blackouts: Where next for grid stability As electricity demand rises and renewable integration deepens, many existing power grids originally designed around centralised, conventional generation are struggling to maintain stability. Solar and wind bring variability, while the retirement of traditional plants removes inertia, making frequency and voltage fluctuations more common. This isn’t just speculation; we’ve seen real consequences. Weak voltage control, decentralized flows from rooftop solar and batteries, and unpredictable demand threaten reliability. Fortunately, there are game-changing solutions: - Rotating Grid Stabilizer conversions (like Siemens Energy’s RGS) bring back inertia by converting old turbines into synchronous condensers. - Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) and HVDC tech help manage voltage and enable efficient long-distance transmission. - Digital automation, including smart meters and SCADA systems, empowers operators with real-time visibility and control for better demand-side management. By integrating these tools, grid operators can restore balance, improve resilience, and support the continued clean energy transition.

"The last mile of decarbonisation will be thermal", argues Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' green transformation expert Emmanouil Kakaras, with CCS-equipped gas turbines as one of the most realistic tools to reach net zero while maintaining system stability. Find out how CCS in gas power can power the transition on Power Technology & Future Power Technology and MPS (Modern Power Systems). https://lnkd.in/eQQ9_iHh
