Satellite-based vegetation management in Massachusetts
AiDASH reported a 43% average improvement in customer minutes interrupted on National Grid's worked circuits
Problem
National Grid used a fixed trimming cycle in Massachusetts. Deferred work and storm-related outages prompted a reassessment of how it prioritized vegetation work.
Approach
National Grid adopted AiDASH's Intelligent Vegetation Management System across its Massachusetts network. The model first ran in October 2020 and produced a work plan for the following fiscal year. Teams prioritized work using vegetation conditions and reliability risk.
Results
Takeaway
The reported reliability gains applied to circuits where work had been completed. They did not represent a network-wide controlled comparison.
