Together, these dual-country expansions highlight a decisive push by large-scale manufacturers to address critical domestic supply bottlenecks and modernize the performance capabilities of legacy utility transformers across the continent.
Each year, SAIDI including major events ticks upward, and the gap between “blue-sky” and storm-day performance widens. Caught in that resilience gap are customers who depend on reliable power. With up to 80% of faults occurring on overhead distribution circuits, utilities incorporating single-phase reclosers into their protection strategies are successfully reducing outages to narrow the gap.
Birds, including robins, morning doves, and raptors, find safe nesting spots on utility poles and structures, highlighting efforts to balance wildlife conservation with reliable power delivery.
As companies like Washington-based Itron and Singapore-based firm EDMI accelerate AMI 2.0 deployments, unifying customer engagement with advanced next-gen metering serves as a vital strategy.
Focusing on ComEd’s deployment of HTS technology within existing substations, the piece discusses the benefits of superconducting cables, including fault current limiting and enhanced redundancy, while addressing challenges related to cooling systems...
