Scenario Clustering translates massive volumes of volatile climate, wildfire, and load data into a handful of distinct grid stress-test models. Learn how utilities are using this methodology to move from reactive emergency operations to proactive strategies that ensure long-term grid resilience.
Core Concepts Discussed
- Extreme Scenario Generation
- Distribution-Driven Clustering
- Decision-Based Clustering
- Congestion Mapping
- Temporal Resource-Load Modeling
- Predictive Outage & Spatial Damage Simulation
- Risk Clustering
- PSPS Modeling
- Load Restoration Modeling
- Unserved Load Evaluation
- Cost-Benefit Modeling
- Affordability Allocation
- Scenario Downscaling

Redefining the utility playbook with PG&E’s Sumeet Singh
In this episode of the Factor This podcast, Sumeet Singh, CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric, details how utility leaders can balance cultural shifts with the economic imperative to maximize underutilized grid capacity and lower customer rates. He breaks down how PG&E processes billions of pieces of data to help predict wildfire risks in advance, and how AI-enabled camera networks can shave critical minutes off emergency response times.
