Ensuring Reliability & Resiliency at the Grid Edge
Aug. 8, 2024
Download this summary to learn about the role of edge-computing and distributed intelligence in real-time grid support and so much more.
In a recent webinar with T&D World, we discussed the challenges utilities are facing with maintaining grid reliability and resiliency. In the face of extreme capacity growth requirements, environmental challenges, 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. 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. 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.
In this Webinar Executive Summary you will learn:
How to address reliability & resiliency challenges by resolving issues such as transformer loading and high impedance.
How actively monitoring transformers 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.
