In this interview, Purohit explains why ultrasonic technology is rising as a dominant solution for gas-flow applications and how engineering teams can approach measurement as a tool not just for accountability but also for operational excellence.
Microgrids are no longer niche innovations—they have become a foundational component of modern energy infrastructure. Realizing their full potential will require targeted policy reform, clearer regulatory frameworks, and greater access to innovative financing models.
Tiger Skid, a custom-built cyber-physical training and testing platform, simulates real-world energy systems and industrial processes vulnerable to cyber-physical attacks.
