Power Grid Operations: Crisis to Solution in Seconds
Picture a control room during a live outage. Alerts are firing across substations, and the data needed to make sense of it all is scattered across a dozen disconnected systems. That moment defines whether an outage stays contained or cascades, and it’s what Row64 is designed to solve. Row64 is a live operational intelligence platform built for operators in fluid settings (like grid operations), giving them a unified view of all critical data and the ability to act on it quickly, without switching between tools.
Scattered Data. Slow Response.
In 2024, U.S. outage restoration times (CAIDI) averaged roughly 7.4 hours — a 10-year high, driven largely by Hurricanes Beryl, Helene, and Milton. (EIA Form 861). The grid is getting harder to manage, which makes faster detection and response not a nice-to-have, but a necessity.
For many grid operators, the issue isn’t data volume — it’s fragmentation. SCADA, outage data, weather feeds and maps, and asset telemetry are scattered across different systems. Understanding it in a crisis depends on how quickly an operator can stitch it together and make sense of it. Those moments are rarely static. A single event can cascade to neighboring stations within minutes, and the longer it remains unsolved, the more customers it affects. We call that lag between event and action the Detection Gap, and closing it is the difference between an outage that stays contained and one that cascades.
One View. Instant Action.
Minimizing the time to action means speeding detection and understanding from minutes (or worse, hours) to seconds.
Row64 pulls live data from SCADA, outage management systems, weather feeds, and asset telemetry into a single GPU-accelerated view — with live telemetry overlaid on your service territory and one-line diagrams, not buried in rows of tables — while also connecting directly to the downstream tools operators need to take action. Instead of switching between systems, operators see the full picture and respond from one place. When a fault occurs, operators instantly see which assets are affected, which customers are impacted, and which systems to engage. Because Row64 also connects via APIs to downstream systems, operators can instantly act to resolve issues from one place, without switching tabs or displays.
