AI for Grid Topology-Aware Outage Prediction

Predict outages using AI that understands feeders, switches, and weather to prioritize maintenance and response.

Outages depend on topology, assets, and weather. AI fuses GIS, SCADA/AMI, and storms to forecast failures at segment level, improving reliability planning and storm readiness.

Hardening and undergrounding prioritization

DER/FLISR coordination for resilience.

Pre-staging crews/materials for forecasted hotspots.

Frequently asked questions

What APIs are available for integrating with OMS and WMS systems regarding tickets and plans?

APIs to OMS/WMS for tickets and plans.

Can I generate reports for regulatory compliance and storm readiness purposes?

The platform allows you to create detailed reports tailored for both regulatory agencies and internal storm preparedness teams, providing crucial data visualizations and summaries.

How can I verify the topology of my simulation models and import data from OMS, SCADA systems, and weather history sources?

You can validate the accuracy of your simulated network topology by importing data from various sources like Operational Management Systems (OMS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and historical weather records to ensure realistic simulations.

How do I train topology-aware models and conduct backtesting against past storm events?

Users can develop and train sophisticated simulation models that account for network topology while rigorously testing their performance by backtesting on recorded data from previous storms, allowing for robust validation and predictive capabilities.
