Today’s power grid has become too complex and resources too distributed to depend on antiquated methods of assessment and repair. Monitoring critical assets via time-consuming and costly truck rollouts to remote locations is no longer enough to keep up with a dynamic grid. 

Enhancing grid resiliency today means deploying maintenance with intelligence gathered through advanced monitoring-and-testing tools for critical assets. These tools should provide condition-based maintenance while ensuring uptime, simplifying compliance, and reducing operational costs. 

This playbook reviews several of the lessons learned from the legendary North American Blackout of August 2003. It will show you how real-time monitoring can help you:

• Make it simple to understand what’s happening on the system 
• Save time and money by scheduling for convenience rather than emergencies
• Easily identify and share the health of critical assets to successfully address abnormal conditions
