The greatest risk to any form of a power or manufacturing facility is the power supply. From the standpoint of an electric power system, there are four critical asset classes in that system that are under stress: transformers, cables, breakers, relays and protective equipment.

Alan Ross, of the Smart Grid Reliability Alliance, speaks to Patrick Ryan, executive director of the IEEE Power & Energy Society, about the grid edge, region-specific priorities of different areas of the world, the distinction between “reliability” and “resilience,” and the call for collaboration across the IEEE in this podcast hosted by Energy Central.

At MaintenanceCon, taking place April 15-17, 2019, in Chicago, Ill., Alan Ross will present the unique barriers that must be overcome in order to change the culture from an unreliable power system to a reliable power system in both industrial and commercial applications. Utilizing case examples from metals processing, mining, paper, plastic and pipelines to medical and data centers, he will reveal the common barriers we face that are unique to power system reliability.

SDMyers will be exhibiting in Booth 412 at the 2019 International Conference of Doble Clients from April 9-12, 2019 in Boston, Mass.

Alan Ross, VP of Reliability at SDMyers, spoke with Jeff Rockwood, managing director of On Now Digital, about electric power data management for a new Energy Central podcast series hosted by the Smart Grid Reliability Alliance.
