Interestingly, while weather is the leading cause of power outages in the United States, it is weather—or rather the application of weather analytics – that will help the utility sector better prepare and respond to disruptive weather events.
Interestingly, while weather is the in the United States, it is weather—or rather the application of weather analytics – that will help the utility sector better prepare and respond to disruptive weather events.
There are two things at play with recent utility outages. First are the phenomena of extreme weather events. We are used to power outages caused by winter weather. Frigid temperatures and heavy precipitation cause ice and snow buildup bringing down overhead lines and nearby tree branches that would fall on power structures.
Ahead of any forecasted weather risk, utilities must make decisions on when to secure and mobilize outside contractors, optimize staffing for call centers and command posts, pre-position crews and materials in the areas expected to be hardest hit, and restore services as quickly as possible. If utility companies underestimate the risks, then it does not have the resources available for an adequate response.
Since then, utilities may be compelled to overprepare by bringing in extra crews or pre-staging multiple command centers. While this addresses the concern for prolonged outages, it is a great expense for the utilities and their customers, and not a sustainable solution.
