The power grid makes modern life possible, and it is essential to the functioning of all other critical infrastructure like water systems, hospitals, and data centers. Now, a combination of aging equipment, shrinking reserve margins, increasing frequency and severity of weather events as well as an ever-growing demand are challenging grid operators to maintain the flow of power. With a focus on reliability and resilience, grid operators can leverage both long-established and newer technologies to meet this challenge.
With over 100 years of industry knowledge and expertise, solid relationships with channel partners and proven grid innovations, ABB is the name to trust to help deliver reliable and resilient power to your customers.
Key factors
in ensuring reliable and resilient power delivery
Line protection
Increasing power reliability starts with protecting the lines that connect every point of the power distribution system.
Load isolation
The Swiss army knife of power management tools, load isolation contributes to power reliability and resiliency in numerous ways.
Proactive event response
As the world grows more uncertain, advanced technologies are making it easier for utilities to predict, prepare, and respond.
Wildfire mitigation
Wildfire mitigation planning is increasingly a best practice and smart risk-management strategy for utilities serving fire-prone areas.
Storm response
Increased urbanization and unpredictable weather patterns make storm response planning a 21st-century imperative for power utilities.
Demand management
As demand for electricity skyrockets, advanced grid technologies can help utilities make informed investment decisions and implement a faster demand response.
Support for load growth
The increasing demand for electrical power will require utilities to find cost-effective ways to increase capacity and expand existing infrastructure.
