IEEE Tech Talk Protecting the National Grid
Why are the substations an easy target? What does the NESC National Electrical Safety Code and local Utility handbooks state on physical protection of the yards, transmission lines and facilities?
Join us for a session on how to protect the National Grid. How to prevent gun fire at the transformers, insulators, switch cabinets and transmission lines? What some of the penalties if caught? Are the CCTV cameras any deterrant from approaching the remote substations? What are local Utilities doing to prevent such occurances? What is the response time for local police? Is Cybersecurity a deterrant?
