Last week’s extreme weather is bringing greater focus to how our changing climate can increase risk to the network and the delivery of power to where it’s needed. Our Head of Transmission Verity Watson asks: is our critical grid infrastructure built to withstand increasingly intense storms, and where to from here? #energynetworks #netzero #transmission #ena #storm #infrastructure https://lnkd.in/gpnN337b

As extreme weather and natural disasters increase in both severity and frequency, utilities' electrical #Grids will be especially affected. This is where Itron, Inc.'s intelligent grid edge solutions come into play. Now more than ever before, #Utilities need modernized infrastructure that enables grid resilience in times of need. One way of providing backup power during outages is with energy stored in electric vehicle batteries, which is what Matt Smith, senior director of smart grid management at Itron, and the team had to rely on during #ItronInspire22 when Hurricane Ian hit Florida.

Yesterday's storms and the heat wave in Victoria disrupted the transmission network affecting many including 90,000 customers to a load shedding event and another 500,000 households due local network issues caused by the extreme weather. One of the prime examples that would warn us of the dire impacts of extreme weather events on the energy system. #climaterisk assessments will become essential as we plan for, invest in, and transition towards more resilient #energy assets and grids that are future-proofed. https://lnkd.in/g_fqM4ej

Severe winter storms are becoming more and more common in Texas — Texans need real solutions that reduce demand on the system and keep their lights on. Solar power and backup batteries make a big difference for individuals AND the grid, helping people generate their own electricity, store and use it when needed, and let grid managers deploy that energy elsewhere. That’s what we mean when we say solar helps people live more powerfully. Check out this CBS Austin story about Texas’ recent winter storm and what it says about solar power in Texas: https://lnkd.in/gekbRET7 #txlege #txenergy #solarpower #ERCOT #WinterStormHeather

Power outages can often increase in the heart of winter. Did you know #Microgrids can help reduce this problem? Microgrids are distributed energy resources that have the ability to “island,” or isolate, from the main grid during power emergencies - keeping the lights and heat on, even in the face of extreme winter weather. Check out this article from Siemens to learn more: https://ow.ly/sPhL50QBfhK

Economist, policy theorist, strategist.
6moGood piece - the extreme convective downpours seems like a technical term for a minicyclone or tornado. These are the particular nasty that has emerged from climate change. Good to know the new standard is designed to withstand these and unsurprising that the old standard didn’t. Three actions to improve resilience (1) work with BOM to identify areas that might be at greatest risk from these storms - I suspect they hit on wide open plains. Then put some movement measurement devices on sample towers to monitor wind effects. In areas of high risk strengthen towers. (2) review protection systems to prepare for previously unexpected sudden losses of transmission (3) revise dispatch algorithms to artificially derate at risk transmission lines so there are more alternative resources available (4) start taking seriously the importance of high penetrations of DER.
