Hydropower digital twins can record and simulate changes made to the dam over many years, helping future operators make decisions. | | | | | | | | | | | Bentley commissioned a global survey of industry experts to understand condition monitoring trends and practices for dams. They learned that collecting data for monitoring dam conditions is now mostly automated. That shift provides some unexpected benefits, with dam owners reporting that automation enables them to penetrate new markets and execute more projects—often with leaner teams. Learn more about the state of the industry and what leaders are doing to gain a competitive advantage. | | | | | | | | | | President-elect Donald Trump has selected Chris Wright, a campaign donor and fossil fuel executive, to serve as energy secretary in his upcoming, second administration. | | | | | | | | | Your experiences matter.
