Power and Water Corporation’s Post

We often talk about #resilience in relation to backup power solutions, but the #Houston community has also shown incredible resilience as the post-storm cleanup continues. Many thanks go out to the utility workers, first responders, and volunteers who are working tirelessly to restore power and normalcy across the area. Our #microgrid systems and Microgrid Network Operations Center (mNOC) have remained fully operational, providing over 1,000 hours of coverage for more than 75 storm-related outages across Texas and Louisiana. But we aren’t done yet. We are still powering 10 facilities for our customers – some of them have now been on our natural gas generators for more than 100 hours straight, and we will continue to do so until the power is restored. No refueling, no downtime, no lost revenue. We’re proud to assist our customers in the Texas region and beyond. If you would like to know how our Resiliency-as-a-Service offering can keep you up and running during the next unplanned outage, take a moment to read our Insights article about a Houston-area senior living facility that trusts Enchanted Rock for their full-facility backup power.

Northern California utility Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) announced Tuesday that it will expand its remote grid program, adding six new installations in 2024. Remote grids, also known as remote microgrids, operate independently from the larger electric grid. They provide stand-alone local energy resources to defined areas, allowing the utility to remove long overhead electric distribution lines, reducing wildfire risk and service interruptions for remote customers. Remote grids often use low-carbon energy sources, such as solar, to provide reliable electricity to customers while also minimizing emissions. PG&E currently has five remote grids in operation, with a sixth expected to come online in the coming months. The six new systems announced today will each serve a single customer and eliminate a total of six miles of overhead lines. PG&E said in a statement that the expansion of its remote grid fleet is ongoing with additional sites in Butte, Glenn and Tehama counties either in development or being assessed.

In most electrical utilities, a significant share of the overall operations and maintenance (O&M) budget is allocated to conducting inspections, maintenance, and repairs at substations. Keeping this critical infrastructure up and running is vital but challenging work, as utilities must ensure that high-value assets are operating correctly in remote locations that are difficult to access. Touchless™ Monitoring can help utilities to overcome these challenges by providing a continuous, real-time view of the substation.  https://bit.ly/3dm2Y12 #utilities #remotesubstation #substationmonitoring
