Ofgem has published a preliminary review of electricity system operations during 22–26 June. It says frequency stayed within statutory limits, although it moved outside normal operating ranges and network constraints were reported.
The authors describe an optical transmitter built around thin-film lithium tantalate, aimed at moving data between computing chips with less reliance on power-hungry electrical links. The design combines multiple wavelengths to raise channel capacity while limiting the number of lasers and fibres.
Serica Energy reported average production of 37,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first nine months of 2026. It said maintenance and an equipment replacement at the Triton FPSO have pushed the expected restart to late November.
Malaysia’s power utility TNB said Port of Tanjung Pelepas has subscribed to 16 GWh a month of certified renewable electricity through the Green Electricity Tariff. The company described it as the largest subscription by a Malaysian port.
X-energy and American Electric Power (AEP) signed a joint development agreement to advance feasibility work for a proposed 960-megawatt small modular reactor project in Indiana. Amazon will provide project development funding.
The US Department of Energy authorized PJM to dispatch generation and backup resources ahead of forecast high demand and planned outages in the Mid-Atlantic.
The 13 October Scientific Reports preview compares SVM and a neural network with a Random Forest baseline for wind-turbine fault detection. Its evaluation concerns simulation conditions.

Researchers affiliated with Laval University evaluated a neural network that estimates power flows with fewer phasor measurement units on the IEEE 30-bus test grid. Results show that where sensors are placed can matter more than using the same number of devices.

A preprint from researchers in Italy and Germany links strain gradients in macroscopic bismuth selenide crystals to a stronger second-harmonic electrical response.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
