Distribution utilities face tougher challenges today than ever before – especially with increased renewables and DER penetration, electrification, aging infrastructure, and severe weather. These factors make it immensely difficult for distribution grids to ensure resiliency and reliability.
So what's the best way to address these challenges?
It starts in the team. Engineering and operations teams need AI software solutions that unlock a proactive, prescriptive, and automated approach to grid management, catching issues before they ever become an emergency.
We will examine the essentials of the modern grid intelligence, with specific emphasis on reassessed roles and processes (e.g. automated voltage monitoring, predictive asset health, and AI-assisted workforce training). Takeaways will include:
- The distribution grid's primary challenges and how they’re shaping control room needs
- How AI can help you properly balance the grid, prevent equipment failure, maintain overall reliability and resiliency, and more
- The role of cutting-edge technologies like analytics, machine learning, cloud, edge computing, and more
- How you can create a truly modern control room within your distribution utility
