What Is a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS)?

A PSPS is when an electric utility temporarily shuts off power to reduce the risk of its equipment causing a fire. Fire weather conditions — including strong winds, dry vegetation and low humidity — drive the decision to call for a PSPS.

SCE saib xyuas huab cua thiab tej yam kev pheej hmoo hluav taws tas li. Thaum tej yam kev mob yuav ua rau Kev Kaw Hluav Taws Xob Kom Muaj Kev Nyab Xeeb Rau Pej Xeem (PSPS), peb pib xa cov ntawv ceeb toom txog peb hnub ua ntej.

Vim tias kev kwv yees tuaj yeem hloov pauv, lub sij hawm ntawm cov ntawv ceeb toom thiab thaj chaw cuam tshuam kuj tseem yuav hloov pauv. SCE muab cov xov xwm tshiab ua ntej, thaum lub sij hawm thiab tom qab qhov xwm txheej PSPS kom koj thiaj li paub txog thiab npaj tau.

Nov yog yam uas yuav tau xav txog:

Lub sijhawm ceeb toom ib txwm muaj xws li:

4-7 Hnub Tom Ntej

Thaum kev kwv yees qhia tias huab cua muaj kev pheej hmoo hluav taws, peb pib ua tus qauv kev kwv yees los ntsuas qhov muaj feem cuam tshuam. Cov neeg siv khoom tuaj yeem mus saib peb lub Daim kab da qhia txog huab cua PSPS kom pom tias cov nroog hauv peb thaj chaw pabcuam yuav raug cuam tshuam li cas los ntawm huab cua hluav taws - txog li xya hnub ua ntej.

Ntawv Ceeb Toom 3 Hnub Ua Ntej 

Thaum muaj kev kwv yees huab cua kub hnyiab, SCE sib koom tes nrog cov koom haum tswj xwm txheej ceev, cov neeg teb thawj zaug thiab tsoom fwv hauv zos.

SCE ceeb toom rau cov neeg siv khoom uas yuav raug cuam tshuam thiab qhia cov cheeb tsam uas yuav muaj kev cuam tshuam rau ntawm Daim Ntawv Qhia Txog Kev Kaw Hluav Taws Xob. Cov cheeb tsam no zoo li cov duab ntau sab uas qhia txog cov kev sib txuas hluav taws xob uas yuav raug cuam tshuam.

2 Hnub Tom Ntej Ceeb Toom 

Thaum qhov kev kwv yees ua kom meej dua, peb kho cov npe ntawm cov kev sib txuas hluav taws xob uas yuav raug cuam tshuam. Yog tias cov xwm txheej tseem muaj, cov neeg siv khoom uas yuav raug kev cuam tshuam thiab cov neeg koom tes kev nyab xeeb rau pej xeem yuav tau txais kev ceeb toom lees paub PSPS thiab lub sijhawm xav tau.  

1-Hnub Ceeb Toom Ua Ntej 

Thaum muaj xwm txheej hluav taws kub yuav tshwm sim, SCE txuas ntxiv hloov kho cov ntaub ntawv txog cov kev sib txuas hluav taws xob raug cuam tshuam thiab lub sij hawm kwv yees kev kaw hluav taws xob.

1-4 teev ua ntej kev ceeb toom kaw 

Yog tias peb kwv yees tias hluav taws xob yuav raug kaw hauv ib mus rau plaub teev, SCE xa ib daim ntawv ceeb toom rau cov neeg siv khoom thiab cov neeg koom tes kev nyab xeeb rau pej xeem, thaum twg ua tau. Tom qab daim ntawv ceeb toom no, kev kaw hluav taws xob yuav tshwm sim txhua lub sij hawm thaum muaj xwm txheej PSPS.

Ceeb toom kaws 

Thaum cua hlob thiab hluav taws kub yuav txog lossis tshaj qhov tau teem tseg, peb ceeb toom rau cov neeg koom tes thiab cov neeg siv khoom txog kev nyab xeeb rau pej xeem thaum peb kaw hluav taws xob.  

Ceeb tom ua ntej thaum hluav taw xob rov tuaj 

Thaum cov xwm txheej zoo dua thiab tsis xav tau PSPS lawm, cov pab pawg yuav tshuaj xyuas cov xov hluav taws xob kom paub tseeb tias nws muaj kev nyab xeeb los rov qab ua hauj lwm tau.

SCE ceeb toom rau cov neeg siv khoom thaum pib tshuaj xyuas. Feem ntau kev tshuaj xyuas yuav siv sijhawm txog yim teev tab sis yuav siv sij hawm ntev dua yog tias xav tau nruab hnub rau kev saib xyuas hauv av los sis saum huab cua (helicopter los sis drone).

Ceeb tom thaum hluav taw xob rov tuaj 

Txhua tus neeg siv khoom uas tau ceeb toom txog PSPS yuav tau txais tsab ntawv ceeb toom zaum kawg thaum lawv lub zog tau rov qab los sis thaum qhov kev tshwm sim tau xaus.

Lwm cov kev ceeb toom tej zaum yuav tshwm sim kom cov neeg siv hluav taws xob paub txog.

Tsis lees paub: Peb qhov kev kwv yees ua ntej yuav tsis ntes lub sij hawm pib ntawm cua daj cua dub los sis lwm yam xwm txheej kub ntxhov txaus ntshai. Hauv cov xwm txheej no, tej zaum yuav muaj me rau tsis muaj ntawv ceeb toom ua ntej lub hwj chim raug kaw rau PSPS. Tom qab kaw, cov neeg siv khoom yuav raug ceeb toom sai li sai tau thiab tuaj yeem tshawb xyuas Daim Ntawv Qhia kom paub meej tias nws yog vim PSPS.

During dangerous fire weather conditions, when strong winds, dry vegetation and low humidity are forecast, we start considering a PSPS. Under these conditions, a fire could spread rapidly, posing a significant safety risk. PSPS reduces the risk of utility equipment starting a fire when winds blow branches or other debris into power lines.  

PSPS decisions are based on real-time weather reports from pole-top weather stations on or adjacent to PSPS circuits. We primarily consider these factors and conditions when deenergizing a circuit or circuit segment:  

  • Strong winds
  • Low humidity
  • Dry vegetation that could serve as fuel 

Siv peb cov cuab yeej saib xyuas huab cua thiab hluav taws kom paub meej. 

Cov neeg siv khoom uas nyob hauv thaj chaw muaj kev pheej hmoo siab txog hluav taws yuav muaj feem ntau ntsib PSPS. Txawm li cas los xij, cov neeg siv khoom uas nyob ze thaj chaw muaj kev pheej hmoo hluav taws kub kuj tseem yuav raug cuam tshuam vim lawv txuas nrog cov kab hluav taws xob uas khiav los ntawm los sis ze rau thaj chaw muaj hluav taws kub siab. 

Sau koj qhov chaw nyob rau hauv peb Kev Kaw Hluav Taws Xob Map.

Txawm hais tias qee tus neeg siv khoom yuav tsis ntsib cua hlob heev hauv lawv lub tsev los sis chaw ua lag luam, lawv yuav tau txais kev pabcuam los ntawm lub kev sib txuas hluav taws xob uas hla thaj chaw cua hlob thiab muaj kev pheej hmoo hluav taws kub ua ntej mus txog lawv qhov chaw nyob. Yog li ntawd, ib qho thaiv los sis ib puag ncig yuav muaj hluav tawm xob thaum lwm tus tsis ua. Peb ua qhov zoo tshaj plaws los txo qhov cuam tshuam los ntawm kev hloov ib ntus ntawm cov zej zog mus rau cov chaw nyob ze, tab sis qhov no tsis yog ib txwm ua tau. Thaum kawg ntawm qhov xwm txheej PSPS, vim tias txhua lub kev sib txuas hluav taws xob yuav tsum tau kuaj xyuas los ntawm cov pab pawg ua ntej kho dua tshiab, tsis yog txhua lub kev sib txuas hluav taws xob yuav raug kho dua tib lub sij hawm.

SCE tab tom nce nws txoj kev siv drones thaum lub sij hawm PSPS kuaj los pab txheeb xyuas kev puas tsuaj thiab kev phom sij uas muaj peev xwm, xws li cov xaim hluav taws xob poob los sis cov nroj tsuag sib cuag, thiab nrawm rau kev soj ntsuam kev sib txuas hluav taws xob kom muaj kev nyab xeeb rov qab lub zog sai dua. Drone patrols yuav tshwm sim thaum nruab hnub los sis hmo ntuj.

Tej zaum koj yuav pom cov teeb dawb los sis teeb xim ntawm lub drone thaum nws ya mus raws txoj xov hluav taws xob — cov teeb no pom tau tshaj thaum hmo ntuj. Tej zaum koj kuj tseem yuav hnov suab nrov luv, qis.  

Drones tsuas ya hla cov kab hluav taws xob xwb, yog li koj feem ntau yuav pom los sis hnov lawv ib ntus luv xwb. Qee zaum, ib lub drone yuav tau siv sij hawm ntxiv saum ib thaj chaw kom pom tau ze zog los sis thaij duab txog tej kev puas tsuaj.

Yog. Txhua lub dav hlau drone ua raws li cov txheej txheem kev nyab xeeb nruj thiab ua raws li Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cov cai. Tu tsav drone ntawm SCE tau kev tso cai lo ntawm FAA. Cov kws tsav dav SCE drone tau kawm tshwj xeeb rau kev ya ze ntawm cov xov hluav taws xob thiab thaum hmo ntuj kom ua hauj lwm nyab xeeb. 

Cov drone uas mus tsom hwm tej zaum yuav thaij duab. Peb siv cov ntaub ntawv no tsuas yog rau kev xav tau hluav taws xob thiab kev nyab xeeb ntawm pej xeem uas tau pom zoo. Yog xav paub txog peb tiv thaiv koj tus kheej li cas, thov mus saib sce.com/privacy.
