- ORNL researchers have developed advanced tools to immediately detect abnormal power grid conditions that lead to wildfires, equipment damage and blackouts.
- The approach incorporates artificial intelligence to rapidly analyze grid data and automatically alert a utility to dangerous grid behaviors requiring immediate response.
- ORNL is partnering with utility Southern California Edison (SCE) to validate the technology against five years of field-collected data.
