WiNUP members are invited to join WiNUP Mid-Atlantic on Friday, May 1, for a technology spotlight event featuring PPL Electric’s Meghan Fonda, Supervising Engineer – Distribution Planning. Fonda will provide education on PPL’s Fault Isolation Service Restoration (FISR) module, part of an Advanced Distribution Management System developed in partnership with GE Digital. 
From POWER magazine, “FISR is facilitated through the deployment of sensors and switches across the grid. These smart devices allow the segmenting of customers into smaller spans. If an outage happens, the system can automatically reroute power around trouble spots to get most customers restored within seconds, keeping the outage contained without any human intervention. PPL Electric was the first utility to centrally integrate GE Digital’s FISR to automate restorations, and that network of smart devices, coupled with an advanced software system, has proven to be a solid investment, creating a self-healing grid that delivers improved reliability and stability.”
