ABB has posted a complimentary on-demand webinar on planning for electrical grid stability and reliability.
While weather events like Hurricane Sandy grab national headlines, they aren’t the only threat to transmission grids, ABB says on its website. The shift in generation caused by the integration of renewables and coal plant closures has also created issues with grid stability and reliability. Add in aging infrastructure, and stresses on the transmission grid are only going to get worse.
Preparing the system to withstand and recover from these failures and events requires proper planning and optimization of investments.
