In this AEIC (Association of Edison Illuminating Companies) Grid Mod Pod episode, I am excited to be joined by Timothy McHugh, Manager of Electric Service NH Troubleshooters at Eversource Energy. I especially loved this one hearing about innovation occurring from the field and hearing about the alignment of stakeholders within the utility to make this vision a reality. Here’s what you’ll learn when you listen in: -How Eversource enhanced reliability and reduced pole restoration time through rapid mobile technologies -An overview of the Cut and Clear Truck, a mobile robotic tool designed to safely remove downed, de-energized power lines from blocked roadways -Why collaboration across industries and utilities leads to the most innovative solutions -How Eversource's rapid pole technology reduced restoration times from 4 1/2 hours to as little as 20 minutes -How grid planners and inspectors can take advantage of Eversource's rapid pole technology, even without an emergency https://lnkd.in/gNxWb-zH

Listen in as Peak Power's CSO, Matthew Sachs, and Brattle's Principal, Ryan Hledik, candidly discuss Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and how this technology could transform the electric grid as we know it. https://hubs.ly/Q02j0G8G0

In this AEIC (Association of Edison Illuminating Companies) Grid Mod Pod episode, we’re excited to be joined by Rami AlyGad, GISP AlyGad, Manager of Smart Grid and GIS at Arizona Public Service - APS. Here’s what you’ll learn when you listen in: -An overview of the key components of grid modernization road mapping, including the physical infrastructure and supporting technologies -Why distribution automation is the heart of grid modernization and how it has enabled utilities to develop new capabilities -Why it's important for grid planners to consider device readiness and deployment approaches when road mapping -An overview of GIS (geographic information systems) and how it can promote collaboration and unity across utility teams -Why it's important for grid planners to understand stakeholder needs in order to create alignment for the grid https://lnkd.in/eicn-ptW

🎙️ Dive into the latest Grid Mod Pod episode brought to you by AEIC! Join us as we sit down with Elizabeth Cook, PhD and Steve Tyler, Manager of DVI Grid Solutions at Dominion Energy, to explore the dynamic world of power grid modernization. Here's a sneak peek of what you'll discover: 🔍 Uncover how DERs (distributed energy resources) impact the distribution grid and become assets during peak load times. 🌐 Learn why the nationwide deployment of smart meters and AMI was a game-changer for utilities tapping into DERs. ⚡ Gain insights into voltage management and its crucial role in shaping the grid's landscape. 💡 Discover how conservation voltage reduction empowers customers to save energy. 🔄 Explore the world of demand and emergency voltage reduction, helping utilities respond to power supply and demand fluctuations. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that delves into the future of our power grid:
