Webcast: Ensuring Reliability & Resiliency at the Grid Edge
Join us on Thursday, July 11 at 2:00pm ET for a webcast presented by Spencer Gill, Vice President & Executive Lead, Asset Management & Grid Modernization, Hydro One and Eric Young, Director, Grid Management and Distributed Intelligence, Itron. |
Utilities are challenged with maintaining grid reliability and resiliency in the face of extreme capacity growth requirements, environmental challenges, unexpected events, and the addition of DERs to the ever-evolving grid. The need for visibility and control to ensure power quality, reliable power delivery, and accurate forecasting is paramount. It is also critical to ensure reliable connectivity to facilitate quick detection and response to issues and improve system resilience and safety. But how do we, as an industry, evolve the grid and focus on reliability and resiliency amidst this energy transformation?
With edge-computing capabilities, distributed intelligence makes distribution grid support decisions in real time, efficiently and effectively—by effectively bringing the solution closest to the problem. As a result, this drives distribution grid innovation to achieve better reliability and efficiency and enables renewables to be safely connected and active participants in a dynamic grid. How utilities manage the load of the low- and medium-voltage distribution network will play a key role in operating, optimizing, and controlling these resources at the grid’s edge.
Attend this webcast and understand:
- How to address reliability & resiliency challenges by resolving issues such as transformer loading and high impedance.
- How actively monitoring transformer and voltage provides utilities with the visibility to detect transformer load and the control to achieve rightsizing – thereby protecting and preserving these critical components of the distribution system.
- How high impedance detection provides early and real-time identification of low-voltage distribution hot spots which saves time, money and keeps customers safe. In addition, learn how to enhance reliability and efficiency by extending secure grid monitoring and control outside the substation fence.
Utilities are now managing these dynamic challenges by achieving new levels of distribution system visibility and control through real-time grid operations and awareness—thereby increasing grid resiliency and reliability and managing rapidly changing conditions. Learn how you can go beyond the meter and ahead of the curve.
