Pandemic

This is the homepage of the EPRI supplemental project - Pandemic-Resilient and Sustainable Transmission and Distribution Systems. For more details on the project please visit the website on EPRI.com HERE to download the supplemental project notice.

The project was developed by EPRI and funded by members with a focus on eight workstreams:

• WS1: Health and Disinfection
• WS2: Control Center Strategies
• WS3: Field Crew Strategies
• WS4: Operator and Field Crew Training
• WS5: Demand and Operations Impacts
• WS6: Deferred Work and Resource Adequacy
• WS7: Long-Term Demand and Sustainability
• WS8: Asset Management Strartegies

EPRI project managers will work on developing the research and will release deliverables associated with the tasks in each workstream in 2021 and 2022. EPRI project managers will regularly host meetings and calls with members to discuss findings and transfer knowledge and learnings.

WS2 Control Center Design project

The deliverables associated with workstream 2 - control center strategies are in the format of regularly updated web pages. The aim is to keep these web pages updated as regularly as possible and at a minimum once every quarter as new information emerges about the pandemic, strategies are formulated and tested and new control center designs emerge.
