TRANSMISSION OPERATIONS & PLANNING

Real Time Operations

Optimizing information flow from the field to operations helps them recognize increased risks and react before the risks become reality.  

Control Center

Research and Development Challenges

While grid data is increasing, tools to interpret and use the data are lacking. Optimizing information flow from the field to operations helps them recognize increased risks and react before the risks become reality.
