Engineers are studying ways to monitor power lines for faults and failures to correct those conditions before an outage or fire occurs.

The geomagnetic disturbances behind the northern lights can also hurt communication and power systems, but Texas A&M researchers are studying ways to mitigate their impact.

Researchers are exploring the use of generative AI to help electrical and power engineers with daily tasks.

The director of Texas A&M’s Smart Grid Center says he’s optimistic about the grid’s reliability as temperatures rise, but says we need to stay diligent to changing conditions.
