Resiliency & Reliability
Forecast and backcast the impact of capital improvements on resiliency metrics in different environmental scenarios.
Get a DemoImprove system-level resiliency, not just individual asset risk
Prioritize mitigation work based on how asset condition and behavior, vegetation proximity, and environmental conditions interact across the network in every scenario.
- Demonstrate why certain feeders require specific hardening activities over others
- Validate that mitigation work improved overall resiliency vs. improving individual operation-level metrics or simply shifted risk elsewhere
- Forecast how risk, investment, and response operations need to change across different scenarios
Most resiliency programs still evaluate constituent risks independently, despite failures arising from interacting behaviors.
Vegetation teams analyze vegetation risks. Engineering teams focus on structure utilization. Emergency response teams focus on response scenarios. But HILF events rarely show up because any single threshold was exceeded in isolation. They emerge from a perfect storm of intersecting conditions across the network, such as:
- Vegetation falling at just the right angle on a pole that is overutilized
- Trimming vegetation in a windy corridor unwittingly increasing wind exposure and materially increasing failure risk on nearby poles
- A hardened pole that ends up shifting mechanical stress to adjacent spans
You can have a perfect lens into vegetation, structure loading, and accessibility risk, and still have a very limited understanding of actual network resiliency. Mitigation work can successfully reduce individual risk vectors while leaving the overall resiliency and reliability risk profile largely unchanged.
