How AI is Protecting the Power Grid

TODAY’S STORY

A lot of fires are started from trees falling on power lines and vice versa.

The U.S. has over 8 million trees within “striking distance” of 5.5 million miles of power lines.

It’s an almost impossible challenge; the exercise costs utility companies $10B annually.

Enter artificial intelligence (AI). Startups like Pano AI and AiDash are teaming up with utility companies to help them monitor everything at once and evaluate risk in real-time.

• AiDash reported their technology reduced outages by 30% and the duration of outages by 55% for one of its utility customers

AI is keeping the power on.
