Speakers
Description
We understand. Localized fires caused by the interference of animals and vegetation with overhead lines and substations — and the uncontrolled wildfires that can result on the ground below — is an increasingly common problem for electric utilities and industrial power-distribution systems all over the world. Minimizing wildfire risk is especially critical in the face of aging infrastructures, extreme weather events and growing energy demand. In this presentation we plan to introduce you to real life solutions that can minimize ignition risk and help improve grid reliability for 40+ years or more.
Learn from our Fire Mitigation Expert:
- How identifying high risk ignition sources in distribution and transmission networks can reduce ignition by 25%
- How to resolve the challenges of an aging infrastructure with retrofittable insulating components like Wildlife Covers.
- How to assess materials to avoid ignition risk and the importance of materials testing
