Power Grid Assets don't fail without warning but too often, the warning goes unheard. In this presentation, Len Wessel will emphasize on real-world cases from utility operations to explore why asset owners are collecting more monitoring data than ever, yet critical signals still get missed. With specific examples of misses and successful interventions, he'll break down what separates data collecting from data-driven decision-making, and what that shift looks like in practice. The session concludes with a look at how integrated condition monitoring is changing the way utilities manage transformer assets before problems become failures
