The rapid growth of inverter-based resources (IBRs) and the rise of sensitive loads such as AI-driven data centers are reshaping grid dynamics, making system strength harder to predict and manage. Traditional models often diverge from reality, creating risks for planning, operations, and protection schemes. This session explores why accurate visibility is essential before vulnerability occurs, and how real-time measurement of system strength delivers that visibility. We will introduce a proven solution already adopted by forward-thinking utilities to complement and recalibrate models, enabling better decisions and reducing costs. Attendees will gain insights into key metrics such as short-circuit ratio, fault levels, and oscillation characteristics, and learn how these measurements transform planning and operational strategies. Through practical use cases shared by industry leaders, discover how real-time data empowers utilities to navigate uncertainty, secure reliability, and optimize grid performance in an increasingly complex environment.
