In winter, power line support heightened their alert for power outage occurrences. This is due to increase of power line issues that take place during frigid weather. More particularly to old electrical infrastructures that are drastically vulnerable to a freezing climate.
Aside from that, it is expected that energy consumption do spike in winter due to almost non-stop use of heating systems in both residential and commercial setting. This makes it rather difficult to measure the accurate amount of energy required to produce in response to the increased demand. When load forecasting is not precised, power interruptions or rotating blackouts are imminent in widespread areas just to deal with tremendous overloads.
Power system malfunction can be somehow mitigated by reinforcing or upgrading old infrastructures. Meanwhile, upgrading the load forecasting system to a more advanced technology can be beneficial in the distribution level.
