Protecting grid infrastructure, managing joint-use attachments, ensuring all regulations and standards are complied with, and adopting to the grid’s modernization while delivering safe, reliable power to the public are just a few of the jobs facing utilities and their partners today.
In this hour long webinar, IKE’s Malcolm Young and Spencer Hankin along with Nebraska Public Power District’s Patrick Hanrahan will discuss how acquiring accurate data in the field allows for better analysis in the office, resulting in a stronger electric grid infrastructure.
Topics to be discussed include:
Why it’s as important as ever to protect grid infrastructure:
- Real-world experiences on data workflow from seasoned professionals in the utility, engineering, and communications industries
- The role accurate data plays in an efficient joint-use process and successful broadband expansion
- Challenges utilities and engineering firms face in assessing and protecting the grid
There will also be a live Q&A with the expert presenters.
