Integrating real-time weather data for grid impact simulation and forecasting

February 03, 2026
Digitalizing the Grid - Booth #6045
Grid Enhancing Technologies (GET) , Storms and Wildfires , Digitalizing the Grid Knowledge Hub

As extreme weather events grow in frequency and severity, utilities need more than historical averages—they need actionable, real-time intelligence. This session dives into the technical workflows that connect live weather data streams with grid impact simulation models to predict vulnerabilities and optimize operational decisions.

We will demonstrate how high-resolution weather forecasts integrate with grid topology, enabling risk scoring, scenario analysis, and proactive mitigation strategies.

 

What to expect:

  • Technical deep dive: Data ingestion, harmonization, and integration into grid simulation platforms
  • Quantifying risk: Translating weather exposure into asset-level vulnerability metrics
  • Operational impact: How real-time insights drive switching, crew staging, and dynamic ratings
  • Future outlook: Advances in predictive analytics, AI-driven nowcasting, and resilience planning
  • Live demo in the Siemens Energy booth
