Description
Managing and successfully monitoring the health of distribution assets such as distribution transformers and utility poles is a challenge for all utilities and represents an oversized share of all service tickets. In this webinar, Florida Power & Light (FPL) will unveil their innovative approach to remote sensing technology as the foundation for the smart grid of the future. Through a combination of vendor partnerships, internal development, and a willingness to iterate, FPL has been able to quickly identify anomalies across its service territory. You’ll walk away with an understanding of how FPL’s approach is driving new analytics for predictive asset failure, superior storm response and enhanced situational awareness.
During this session you will learn:
- How you can focus on four key areas to maximize your smart grid of the future.
- How partnering with a vendor helped create the first sensor used to reduce transformer service tickets.
- How you can use Artificial Intelligence to predict distribution assets health performance.
