The electric grid is facing an absolute tidal wave of new demand from massive data centers and rapid electrification. To keep the lights on and power our future, the industry is completely rewriting the rules of grid modernization.
This month, PUF brings you four innovators who are changing the game from the digital perimeter to the physical edge. We kick things off with Dragos to look at how a rock-solid cybersecurity baseline protects our most automated systems. Next, Rhizome takes us into the world of artificial intelligence to predict macro climate risks before they strike.
Then, TS Conductor drops some serious materials science to show how new wires can double line capacity on existing towers. After that, Osmose shows how to save millions by giving older poles a full second lifespan. Get ready to meet the teams reshaping the modern power grid.
PUF: We have talked to Dragos about the need for internal network security monitoring, Rhizome about how to use applied artificial intelligence to map climate risks, and TS Conductor about how high-performance conductors can double the capacity of existing corridors.
