Using advanced computational techniques capable of analyzing streaming data from sensors across the grid in near real-time enable more dynamic monitoring of the entire powersystem across large geographic areas, and offers the potential to reach even higher levels of performance and cost-effectiveness through improved situational awareness.
The authority will shut down power to its signal system if it appears that large amounts of water have entered the tunnels, to prevent the salty water from doing added damage to sensitive electronic relays.
For example, in large hotels, voltage dips and power interruptions of less than a second can result in booking and reservation system failures, which are extremely expensive.
