Podcast: Bridging the Visibility Gap – Proactive Management for a Resilient and Secure Grid
This podcast is brought to you by AEIC, the place where operations leaders come together to share knowledge and provide guidance to the electric utility industry.
Join AEIC's, Dr. Elizabeth Cook, VP of Technical Strategy and Ubicquia's COO, Dave Herlong for a look at how the electric grid has evolved over the past two decades into the world’s largest intelligent machine, connecting diverse systems and enabling unprecedented capabilities. Yet, despite these advancements, many utilities remain reactive, focused on firefighting outages and rapid restoration in the grid’s last-mile infrastructure, often called the “visibility gap.”
In this podcast, Dave Herlong discusses how modernizing the grid’s final frontier can ensure more resilient and secure energy delivery. Drawing from real-world challenges, including recent natural disasters and security risks, Dave highlights the need for data-driven decision-making enabled by digital transformation to close this gap. He’ll explore how real-time monitoring, AI-powered analytics, and sensor technology transform utilities from reactive responders to proactive managers. Learn how these advancements enhance reliability, reduce outages, and fortify national security—all while creating a sustainable energy future.
