Description

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (Bil) – Project Reform: Resiliency Enhancement for Fire Mitigation and Operational Risk Management the Resiliency Enhancement Fire Mitigation and Operational Risk Management (Reform) Project Will Implement a Holistic Technological Ecosystem Integrating a Diverse Set of Innovative, Scalable Smart Grid Technologies with a Unified Objective of Enhancing Situational Awareness to Reduce or Mitigate Wildfire Occurrences and Improve Grid Reliability, Flexibility, and Resiliency. The Project Will Integrate Advanced Relays, Distribution Resilience Controller (Drc) Lab Proof of Concept, Communicating Faulted Circuit Indicators (Cfci) to Analyze Real-Time System Health Using Disturbance and Fault Data Fed Into a Cfci Sensor Workflow Management System, and to Enhance Situational Awareness Through Advanced Weather Forecasting Models and Wildfire Detection Network (Wdn) Ai-Enabled Cameras. The Project Will Demonstrate Reliability Metrics Improvement, a Reduction in Public Impacts from Public Safety Power Shutoff (Psps) Due to Wildfire Events, and Improvement in Overall Wildfire Risk Management.
