Summary

As the grid faces increasing operational, environmental, and reliability pressures, utilities and grid stakeholders need clearer, faster insight into transmission line conditions. The GridVista™ System delivers precisely that—real‑time line intelligence that empowers utilities to make rapid, data-driven decisions to optimize grid capacity, prevent outages and wildfires, reduce maintenance costs and streamline operations.

In this 60‑minute webinar, attendees will hear:

An overview of why the GridVista™ System was developed, how it works, and the value it delivers for grid operators—highlighting improvements in grid reliability, capacity optimization, anomaly detection, and condition‑based maintenance, along with its implications for compliance and broader grid‑modernization initiatives.

Panelists include CTC executives and independent subject-matter experts who can speak to the GridVista™ System’s functionality and impact:

  • Jay Caspary, Principal at TransGrid Advisors
  • Brent Read, Associate Principal at Charles River Associates
  • John Emery, VP of North America Sales & Business Development at CTC Global
  • David Goekjian, Principal R&D Engineering Manager at CTC Global 

The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A where panelists address common questions about deployment, integration, and practical use cases. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the GridVista System’s role in enabling safer, smarter, more resilient grid operations—and how to access follow‑up resources.
