The 2026 NEC® and the Future of Electrical Systems: Controlling Power and Managing Energy using PCS and EMS

Electrical system design has been rooted in a fundamental principle for a long time: calculate the theoretical, worst-case-scenario load, then build a system robust enough to handle it. Traditional load calculations are based on estimations, assumptions, nameplate ratings, and demand factors. But in an era of distributed generation, energy storage, and heavy but controllable loads… Read more
