In the ever-evolving energy sector, the latest advancements in technology are critical for enhancing service reliability for customers. Entergy is leading the charge by implementing a groundbreaking artificial intelligence procedure to significantly reduce the frequency and duration of power outages associated with maintenance outages.
The project, which was born from a study to find opportunities for improved reliability, included replacing two transmission line structures outside the substation, and reconfiguring equipment inside of it.
On Saturday, April 13, Entergy New Orleans moved a new high voltage power transformer into the Curran Substation in New Orleans East to improve reliability in the area.
Highest level of winter usage ever recorded across Entergy’s system
The aerial saw provides a safe and efficient tool for crews to maintain vegetation around power transmission and distribution systems.
Entergy Mississippi’s electric transmission system is a lot like a superhero—a sprawling, tireless giant equipped to move massive amounts of power for long distances over land and water at the speed of light.
These high-voltage lines and the structures holding them are a crucial part of the grid, so maintaining them is an essential part of Entergy Mississippi’s work. Wooden poles were once the standard material for transmission structures. However, today steel and concrete poles are preferred for reliability.
When Entergy Mississippi crews installed a high-voltage clean air circuit breaker at one of our Vicksburg, Mississippi substations late last year, two companies reached milestones.
Our crews continue to make steady progress on this important project.
