    Proactive event response

    As the world grows more uncertain, advanced technologies are making it easier for utilities to predict, prepare, and respond.

    These days, utilities need to be ready for just about anything: Fluctuating demand. An unexpected heat wave or cold snap. Severe storms. Equipment failure. Squirrels. Both major and minor events have a substantial impact on power outages. Ensuring power reliability and resiliency means predicting events before they happen, preventing what you can, and responding to what you can’t predict or prevent.

    Key takeaways

    Proactive event response is about more than just planning your response to the next big weather event.
    Fault prevention and containment strategies can help prevent minor events from turning into major disasters.
    Advanced technologies that leverage AI and machine learning can even predict line faults with 90%+ certainty.
