LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Join this seminar to explore real-world utilities’ experience with the integration of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) for better managing power outages. Discover the improvements in outage restoration they achieved, and challenges they overcame on the way.
We will discuss strategies and practice-oriented approaches for:
WHY THIS TOPIC?
Whether gearing up for planned maintenance, impacted by extreme weather or suffering unexpected equipment failure, utilities need to manage power outages effectively to ensure regulatory compliance and minimise societal impact. Historically, energy companies have battled fragmented operational systems and disjointed processes, preventing a consistent and efficient outage response.
But times are changing. Customer expectations, cyber threats, complex infrastructures, natural disasters, renewables integration and rising global demands are forcing utilities to rethink how they manage power outages. To deliver the ‘always on’ service levels that customers have come to expect, utilities must look to new solutions to transform their outage lifecycle process.
Novel approaches to outage management are now enabling utilities to move away from reactively dealing with ‘dumb’ network conditions to proactively managing a smart grid. By integrating IT and OT utilities can obtain a real-time view of their network, turning data into actionable intelligence for managing, mitigating and avoiding outages.
