spare transformer increases substation resiliency | Rapid
recovery transformer advancements boost reliability |
| Rapid recovery transformer advancements – as well as new
assessment, monitoring, hardening and rapid repair capabilities – can help
utilities boost grid reliability and minimize exposure to potential attacks and
outages. The advantages and potential of these rapid recovery transformers,
coupled with wider access to spare large power transformers and the ability of
utilities to quickly assess, monitor, harden and replace this equipment, will
better prepare our power grid for any emergency situation in the coming years. | >> Read more |

| Microgrids: more than remote power | Deployment in grid-connected areas | Recent years have seen a significant growth in interest in
microgrids as a way of providing access to electricity in off-grid locations
like remote villages, mines and islands. Now, they are increasingly being
deployed as a way to improve local power resilience, reduce reliance on fossil
fuel and defer large-scale grid investments. | >> Read more |

| Break free | Intelligent fault handling | As well as inconveniencing customers, unplanned outages can
cost utilities several million dollars a year in regulator fines. In recent
years, outage frequency has increased with the rise in grid-connected renewable
energy. By putting in place better management of faults and outages, utilities
can improve their performances on these measures, reduce fines and improve
their profitability. | >> Learn how | |
