S&C Electric Company: Reliability for Beginners

Join us for S&C's 2-part webinar series. 

Distribution network providers and electric distribution system regulators use several reliability metrics to measure the reliability performance of electrical networks. These metrics include SAIDI SAIFI CAIDI MAIFI CMI and many others. If these sound like Greek to you then this is just the webinar for you! In this webinar you will learn what the definitions of these metrics are, what the significance of each metric is, common practices for improving metrics to improve customer satisfaction with electricity service, and how some of the metrics are used by regulators to penalise or incentivise network service providers to invest in network technology solutions, as well as maintenance and operation practices towards improving the reliability of their networks. In the end, some of the benefits realised by these investments can be passed on to consumers through rate reductions.
