EPSS 科技在 2021 年推出後，持續大幅減少可能導致災難性森林大火的起火事件 【加州屋崙訊】太平洋媒電公司（Pacific Gas and Electric Company；簡稱 PG&E）今天表示，其 Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings（EPSS）目前保護了公司服務地區內火災高風險區域約三百萬人，或是說超過一百萬名顧客。 這個安全設定在偵測到故障（例如：樹枝接觸到電線）時，會在十分之一秒內切斷電力。去年在啟用安全設定的 170 個電路上，在火災高風險區（High Fire-Threat District）內可能導致森林大火的 CPUC 通報起火事件比前三年平均值降低了 80%。 EPSS 科技在 2021 年經證實有預防森林大火的良好成效後，PG&E 已擴大本計畫，納入超過 1,000 個電路，涵蓋火災高風險區內超過 25,000 英哩的配電線，以及鄰近部分系統大約 18,000 英哩電線。 2022 年截至 6 月 1 日的成效，就跟 2021 年一樣好，可能導致森林大火的 CPUC 通報起火事件比前三年平均值（2018-2020）降低了 82%。 PG&E 預計會持續在其中 700 到 800 個電路上啟用安全設定，直到森林大火季節結束為止。對於屬於其他約 200 個電路的顧客，這項技術會在發出紅旗警告的日子啟動，並在出現有利天氣狀況（例如：出現海岸濃霧時）時停用。 雖然這些加強安全設定能維護我們顧客安全並預防森林大火，但是卻可能導致停電。PG&E 瞭解到沒電會讓生活非常辛苦，因此採取一些降低停電對顧客與社區造成負擔的步驟。 「當我們阻止起火事件，我們就能阻止森林大火，」本公司的輸電與配電營運副總裁 Mark Quinlan 說。「請相信我們每天都努力避免發生停電，並在發生停電時盡速讓電力復原。」 PG&E 所採取用於降低停電的一些步驟包括： …
