Summary
Weather instability and increasing wildfire risks are making it increasingly challenging for utilities to meet their reliability targets. Compounding these challenges are a number of profound changes at the grid edge, including increased electric vehicle adoption and integration of renewable and distributed energy resources.
How are utilities functioning in this bidirectional grid environment given the current climate challenges? Investing in extreme duty products and technology to improve situational awareness at the grid edge.
In this webinar, Eaton experts will provide updates on product advances in the utility segment, as well as insights on how the digital transformation of the utility grid is opening new ways of managing an increasingly complex grid.
Plan to learn about:
- Advances in extreme duty capacitors: How the industry is working to design apparatus to withstand everything from wildlife incidents to extreme cold tolerance and fire-hardening requirements.
- Managing connections throughout the grid: What are Utilities looking for when it comes to critical grid assets such as arresters, fuses and molded rubber products.
- Improving digital connections at the edge: The possibilities for situational awareness at the grid edge, as well as decentralized decision-making are opening up new possibilities for digital technologies to transform how the grid operates.
