The electric utility industry is bracing for significant upheaval in the coming decades as the world moves towards decarbonization. Despite abundant renewable resources, they are often not near where electricity demand is most needed. Consequently, the United States must expand its transmission capability two to threefold to bridge this gap. This webinar will explore how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offer transmission operators essential tools to navigate these immense challenges.
Participants will gain insights into how GIS can be applied to standard transmission workflows, witness a real-life example of a GIS-based Digital Twin for a power substation, and observe the efficiency of GIS image analytics in streamlining tasks through machine learning. The webinar will also shed light on the indispensable role of drones in transmission inspections and share success stories of how other transmission operators harness the power of GIS technology.
