Description

Bipartisan infrastructure law (BIL) - strategic distribution system modernization for resilience and wildfire safety the strategic distribution system modernization for resilience and wildfire safety project seeks to build an intelligent network of high-voltage overcurrent devices that can be operated remotely based on data gathered by an array of weather monitoring devices strategically located throughout the recipient's service territory. Once complete, reclosers can be reconfigured from normal operation to non-reclose during periods of elevated fire risk with the goal of preventing utility-caused fire starts from vegetation contact with high voltage lines. Currently, all reclosers are switched to non-reclose when fire danger is first elevated, and they remain in this condition until fire season ends. The ability to change recloser settings guided by data from the daily situational awareness tool (dsat) will reduce unintended outages as different areas of the recipient's distribution system goes on and off periods of high fire danger.
