ELECTRIC UTILITY WILDFIRE MITIGATION: OVERCOMING CHALLENGES ACROSS UTILITY DEPARTMENTAL SILOS LEVERAGING REMOTELY SENSED DATA
This month’s Featured Technical Paper is from the Proceedings of the 2024 International Conference of Doble Clients. The paper is titled: Electric Utility Wildfire Mitigation: Overcoming Challenges Across Utility Departmental Silos Leveraging Remotely Sensed Data.
Abstract
The threat of utility-caused catastrophic wildfire ignition has catalyzed a dramatic increase in opportunistic collaboration for utilities across departmental “silos.” Some utilities are scrambling to adapt to the impacts of a changing climate, and a related increase in the frequency and severity of wildfire due to the potential for historically benign electrical events now resulting in catastrophic wildfire. These catastrophic events can have significant financial, reputational, and legal consequences for utilities, up to and including bankruptcy.
