But what do we actually mean when we talk about utility reliability? Today, though, challenges related to extreme weather as well as ever-increasing demand growth are forcing a fundamental rewrite of reliability and resiliency. That shift directly informs how Zerdin defines the evolution of reliability and resiliency. “The biggest challenge is the integration of the multitude of systems in order to work seamlessly together to address capacity, reliability, and resiliency,” Zerdin told Factor This. Exactly how different utility teams and project stakeholders are approaching the integration of multiple systems to enable reliability is the baseline of every presentation and every conversation that will take place at DTECH Reliability & Resiliency.
