From the Storm to the Control Room: How Hydro One’s Intelligent Grid Connects Intelligence, Systems, and Teams for Real-Time Action
When major storms hit, utilities can’t afford fragmented responses. Yet in many utilities, storm insights remain siloed — disconnected from control room systems and real-time grid operations. In this session, attendees will learn directly from Hydro One’s experience building an Intelligent Grid — where AI-driven storm predictions are integrated into control room workflows, enabling operators to take proactive grid actions before, during, and after storms.
Learn how Hydro One’s Grid Technologies Group is driving this transformation — by unifying Operating Technology, Engineering, Field Operations, and Asset Management to foster integration, innovation, and cross-team collaboration across grid operations.
Hear directly how this collaborative approach is enabling smarter, connected operations and delivering tangible results: improved grid reliability, productivity gains, increased asset utilization, and optimized vegetation schedules. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights they can apply in their own organizations.
3 session takeaways:
- How Hydro One integrates storm predictions into control room operations to improve grid resilience and storm response
- How Hydro One’s Grid Technologies Group drives cross-team collaboration through shared intelligence and unified operational workflows
- How an Intelligent Grid approach is helping Hydro One achieve productivity gains, asset utilization improvements, and optimized vegetation management — lessons that can be applied by utilities of any size
