Grand Ballroom C&D
DTECH Northeast

Substation and feeder asset management is rapidly moving from reactive asset replacement and maintenance to data-driven, predictive engineering strategies. How are Northeast distribution engineers leveraging asset condition, advanced sensor deployments, transformer telemetry, and high-resolution field data to anticipate critical asset failures before they trigger a widespread outage?

Regional distribution leaders will answer these questions as they share firsthand operational bottlenecks, the challenges of integrating legacy designs & hardware with modern grid analytics, and the unvarnished engineering realities of maintaining grid reliability and resiliency across aging infrastructure.
