Buzz Solutions

Here’s an article that we strongly recommend on POWER magazine by Vikhyat Chaudhry, the CTO/COO and co-founder of Buzz Solutions, who shares thoughts on how utilities can put their data to work. The article points out that utility asset management is increasingly important as 70% of assets in the power grid are over 25 years old. Many utilities have collected data to improve asset management, but for some it is underutilized. In these cases utilities need to “activate the data” to improve decision making and enable predictive analytics. Vik stresses the importance of GIS systems, integrations, and continuous improvement as utilities strive to get full value from their data. Thanks Vik for your thought leadership and intriguing article.

Some regions of the US are showing early signs of spring and the beginning of bird nesting season. It’s common for hawks, eagles, ospreys, crows, and ravens to build nests on transmission towers or power pole crossarms and these nests can be dangerous to the birds and can trigger power system faults. It’s important for utilities to detect nests during their infrastructure inspections, and PowerAI software automates the process with AI-trained models for detecting nests. Check out this short video of PowerAI identifying a nest in a transmission tower. Check out more on Buzz's AI tech here: https://hubs.li/Q035TykK0

In the aftermath of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, many utilities are revisiting their wildfire risk mitigation plans. If you’re in this situation, the NERC Wildfire Mitigation Reference Guide (https://hubs.ly/Q035TjcK0) NERC WF Guide is a valuable resource. The 17-page guide is filled with links to other resources including utility wildfire plans from the US, Canada and Australia, and amazing research from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). The guide also includes a list of the 10 categories that should be in every utility wildfire risk plan: 1. Risk Assessment and Mapping 2. Situational Awareness and Forecasting 3. Grid Design and System Hardening 4. Asset Management and Inspections 5. Vegetation Management and Inspections 6. Grid Operations and Protocols 7. Data Governance 8. Resource Allocation Methodology 9. Emergency Planning and Preparedness 10. Stakeholder Cooperation and Community Engagement Thanks to NERC for compiling this outstanding resource! At Buzz Solutions, we hope that knowledge sharing like this helps utilities build comprehensive plans for reducing wildfire risk.

All AI detection models require some tuning to reach target accuracy levels. That’s why Buzz Solutions software developers enhanced human-in-the-loop capabilities in PowerAI 2.0. The software now includes an enhanced workflow and additional features to enable users to complete human-in-the-loop reviews faster and more easily. And, when PowerAI detections are well-tuned, utilities benefit by finding more infrastructure defects and reducing workloads for image analysis. https://hubs.ly/Q035Ty7j0

If you are interested in modernizing your utility’s inspection program, the T&D World article on Georgia Power Company's drone program results is a great resource. The article includes results from drone image capture vs inspections done “the old way”. In one comparison, drones found 4.5 times more defects, while reducing cost by 60%! To our team at Buzz Solutions, the results are striking and it’s clear that drones for power line inspections are the future. Thanks to Georgia Power and T&D World for sharing such valuable field results.
