On June 27, Pacific Gas and Electric Company held a #wildfiresafety open house in #BoulderCreek to inform customers about Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS), outages in their #community, #reliability improvements, #affordability and customer resources. PG&E is listening to #customer feedback across our service area to help understand how we can continue to improve #wildfireprevention efforts, including EPSS and the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) Program. PG&E Vice President Teresa Alvarado, South Bay & Central Coast Region, and PG&E subject matter experts were on hand to answer questions from 29 customers who were mainly interested in backup power solutions. Customers were informed of the backup power programs available to help keep the power on when hazards impact electric service in their community.

A very comprehensive investigation & report. The summary video is well worth a 20 min viewing. IMO All the usual traps appear as though they were unpredictable however with the power of hindsight could have been anticipated if the basics were always followed thoroughly (ETTO Efficiency Thoroughness Trade Off): 1. Avoid Common mode failure, 2. Avoid “eggs in one basket”, 3. Avoid modifications/temporary measures on the run, 4. Maintain redundancy 5. Protecting operation output over protecting vulnerability. IMO Once this failure was set up, shut down of the grid became unavoidable but the loss of the plant & danger to personnel could have been avoided if the whole C4 plant was isolated from the grid shutting down all power stations. A BIG emergency shutdown decision difficult to make. IMO This event has similarity with other disasters however by following emergency procedures, loss of life was avoided. Well done to the plant operators in seemingly impossible circumstances.

When it comes to Arc flash and shock labeling and accolated signage in the offshore wind industry, issues have been identified surrounding regional differences in approach. The framework in this guidance aims to act as recommended good practice for the performance of arc flash hazard control, by defining timelines and responsibilities to produce arc flash analysis data and, following the production of such data, details on the format, style, and application positioning of the required warning labeling. The latest Draft Good Practice Guide by G+ aims to support electrical safety and the associated arc flash, arc blast and shock risks more effectively in offshore wind energy projects. 📣 If you are involved in electrical safety for offshore wind energy projects, we would love your thoughts on this DRAFT GPG! 📝 Please review the attached document "G+ Good Practice Guidelines (GPG) for Arc flash and shock labeling and accolated signage in the offshore wind industry". Follow this link (https://lnkd.in/eU_-9fv9) to access our feedback form to record your comments. 📨 Email your feedback to [email protected] by February 16, 2024.

A different type of pig… used for in-line-inspection of gas pipelines
Pacific Gas and Electric Company teams just completed a safety inspection project for a 300-mile span of natural gas transmission pipeline, which extends from #Oregon to #Antioch, California. The incredible journey of a specialized inspection tool called a pipeline inspection gauge or “pig” navigated through forests, under rivers, between farms and ranchland but all within the confines of a 36-diameter pipeline. Pipeline inspection projects are one of the many ways PG&E ensures the #safe and #reliable delivery of #naturalgas to #customers and #hometowns. Read more about this incredible 10-year, 300-mile journey to the finish line here: https://lnkd.in/eNQ6aGJz

Safety checks are so important, it gives assurance that all will be good. Most part of my early career days were of quality assurance. My observation was people didn't like Quality checks and wanted the acceptance of product and services. Its due to human nature that we think questioning as our rejection. however, questioning is for quality improvement. Errors are meant to happen during creation, because even perfection is not perfect. The drawbacks of not doing quality check are, the day things go bad a very heavy price has to be paid. Governance and assurance are both vital parts of creativity. Governance works on studying the impact and implementing good solutions and quality ensures it will be done rightly and correctly. The meaning of words defines the purpose.
