In PQ News
Call of the Month for November 2024 Via the EPRI PQ Hotline, a PQ Knowledge funder inquired about the role that grid voltage and current (and PQ) data and expertise can play in helping to manage the risk of wildfire ignition from overhead utility systems. Managing wildfire risk is a complex challenge for many utilities that requires close collaboration across multiple utility operations. Effective system awareness is crucial for wildfire prevention, with many monitoring tools distributed throughout the grid. This PQ Hotline Call of the Month addresses two critical questions: How can power quality (PQ) monitoring help reduce the risk of wildfire ignition? Has grid monitoring evolved to the point where it can recognize and locate issues that could lead to wildfires?
