🌦️⚡ Weather Intelligence Solutions for Electricity Distribution: Powering Up Resilience! Did you know? Between 2000 and 2021, about 83% of reported significant outages in the U.S. were attributed to weather-related events. According to Climate Central’s report, the average annual number of weather-related power outages increased by roughly 78% during 2011-2021, compared to 2000-2010. At Buluttan Weather Intelligence, we're on a mission to equip you with cutting-edge tools to tackle surging weather-related power outages head-on. ☔🌩️ Imagine a world where your operations run seamlessly, resilient for the fiercest weather conditions. That's the future we envision, and we're here to help you achieve it. 💪 🌍 The Climate Challenge: Extreme weather events are rising, with hurricanes, wildfires, ice storms, floods, and heatwaves wreaking havoc. Your aging electrical infrastructure is at risk, and power outages are becoming all too common. 😰 Discover how Buluttan can revolutionize your electricity distribution operations 👇 For more info and contact: contact@buluttanwx.com #electricitydistribution

New blog post on the heatwave. Portland could reach low 100s Sun-Tue. Redding hit 117 today and could hit 119-120 tomorrow (all-time record is 118). Palm Springs hit 124 today, breaking their all-time record of 123. Also, have a significant discussion on planning the future power grid to be more resilient to severe weather events. Much of this involves inputting higher-quality weather data into capacity expansion models and is a research area of mine at Iowa State. Different parts of the country have different weather hazards (in Iowa, it is extreme wind due to derechos), but in the Western U.S., it's often capacity shortages during high demand/low wind events (like heat waves).

Imagine this 🌩️ A sudden storm rolls through, causing unexpected power outages across your entire grid, scrambling to restore power while ensuring the safety of your crew in hazardous conditions. This scenario, unfortunately, is a harsh reality for many large national energy providers. Unforecasted weather events can break hell on your operations, leading to: 1️⃣ Increased Downtime: Power outages translate to lost revenue and frustrated customers. 2️⃣ Reduced Efficiency: Reactive maintenance due to weather events disrupts planned schedules and increases costs. 3️⃣ Safety Concerns: Harsh weather conditions put your crews at risk during repairs. Why is this happening? Traditional weather forecasting often lacks the GRANUALITY and REAL-TIME UPDATES needed to proactively manage energy infrastructure in the face of ever-changing weather patterns. Here's how WeatherXM can help: 1️⃣ Actionable Insights: Get hyper-local, real-time weather data and forecasts specific to your infrastructure's location. 2️⃣ Proactive Planning: Anticipate weather events and optimize your operations, minimizing downtime and ensuring crew safety. 3️⃣ Data-Driven Decisions: Use weather data to streamline maintenance schedules and resource allocation. Our goal with WeatherXM is to empower you to achieve: ⚡ Improved Operational Efficiency ⚡ Reduced Weather-Related Downtime ⚡ Enhanced Safety Standards for your Crews Ready to take control and make the weather your friend, not your enemy? Let's chat! DM me to learn how WeatherXM can transform your approach to weather and elevate your energy operations.

🌬 The United Kingdom is in the middle of two quite big storms- Isha and Joselyn- bring strong winds and power failures affecting millions of people. High-risk weather patterns related to power system failures can be forecast reliably with valuable lead time, clear links between specific patterns and transitions can significantly improve the preparedness of the United Kingdom and broader European distribution network operators for adverse weather conditions. #windstorm #poweroutage #Storms #weatherforecast #unitedkingdom #weatherpatterns 🔗 Check out the timely study here:
