About this listen

 In the latest episode of Forerunner: Powering the Edge, key discussions center around the importance of high-resolution outage and flood modeling in identifying the weaknesses in our utility infrastructure before they develop into critical issues. The podcast also highlights the fragility of our current energy infrastructure, plagued by aging systems and based on assumptions that may no longer hold true today, including the invulnerability of oil pipelines to extreme weather conditions and the unreliability of our electric grid during peak demand. It underscores the urgent need for modernizing our infrastructures, re-evaluating old assumptions, and the value of advanced modeling techniques for tactical energy planning, disaster response, and improving overall preparedness. The call to action for operators and planners is clear: invest in new technologies and maintenance protocols for a resilient energy future.
