In advance:

Leverage GridOS Visual Intelligence throughout the year to identify and trim the exact spots where hazardous vegetation threatens your assets, maximizing efficiency and precision. Then call on Disruption Prepare up to 72 hours before an event to assess its likely impact on your network – giving you time to mobilize recovery resources, protect vulnerable infrastructure, and other key preparations.

In the moment:

As a disruptive event unfolds, GridOS ADMS and its built-in, storm-proven Enterprise OMS (Outage Management System) help assess, dispatch, report, and restore power from outages caused by moderate and severe weather events. Inside the Enterprise OMS system lies a critical tool for restoration, Outage Assist, ensuring crews are dispatched to the right areas for fast restoration times.

In the aftermath:

Storm Manager streamlines the complex logistics associated with disruption recovery. It connects all emergency response operators, from line crews and support staff, to insurance adjusters and firefighters, to FEMA agents and DoT workers. With Storm Manager, users can can acquire and activate recovery crews, track workers’ time and expenses, directly communicate with the field, and more.

FAQs

What causes power grid disruptions?
There is a clear link between power grid disruption and climate change, with severe weather affecting power grids. Thunderstorms, wildfires, floods, tornados, hurricanes, blizzards, and droughts are all driving the number of power grid disruptions utilities face every year.

How can utilities prevent power grid disruptions during storms with GE Vernova’s GridOS Disruption Preparation and Recovery Solutions?
While no solution can completely eliminate power grid disruptions, GridOS Disruption Preparation and Recovery Solutions can help minimize their frequency, duration, and impact. GridOS Visual Intelligence increases the efficiency and effectiveness of year-round utility vegetation management. Disruption Prepare provides impact assessments up to 72 hours before an event occurs. Outage Management System is a power grid outage solution that improves grid resilience during severe weather. And Storm Manager streamlines the logistics associated with power grid recovery, from contracting crews to expediting invoicing.

How can I increase my utility power grid disruption preparedness?
GE Vernova offers two solutions that help utilities unlock proactive planning for power grid disruptions. Both solutions play a role in long-term and short-term grid disruption preparation. GridOS Visual Intelligence pinpoints the precise locations where vegetation is growing too close to power grid assets and must be trimmed to avoid damages. It can be used throughout the year, even when nothing is on the radar. Disruption Prepare can help electric utilities predict the impact of an impending event up to three days before it arrives. This advance notice enables utilities to begin preparing for recovery efforts, such as staging crews safely out of harm’s way, acquiring necessary materials (for example, ordering backup generators if critical infrastructure is expected to take a direct hit), and other preventative measures.

How can utilities recover from power grid disruptions faster?
Utilities can recover from power grid disruptions faster by applying smart grid solutions for severe weather that reduce the risk of damage and accelerate recovery efforts. GridOS Disruption Preparation and Recovery Solutions include several solutions that improve operations before, during, and after a disruptive event. These include Visual Intelligence, the Outage Management System of ADMS, and others.
