Renewable energy sources like solar and wind are often seen as unreliable due to their dependency on natural conditions, causing fluctuating energy production and grid instability. Additionally, the development of these plants faces delays from regulatory hurdles and requires substantial investments. Continuous monitoring is also necessary to prevent outages and ensure consistent power output.

The power transmission and distribution (T&D) industry faces significant challenges, including aging infrastructure, with over 70% of transmission lines in the US over 25 years old, and a 25% increase in electricity demand expected in the next 20 years. Managing the complexity of T&D networks and ensuring grid stability during extreme weather or cyber threats adds to the difficulty.

Airports are facing growing challenges due to increasing air travel demand (expected to rise by 50% in the next 20 years) and the complexities of managing runways, terminals, and ground support systems. Additionally, maintaining safety, security, and operational efficiency, especially during peak periods and evolving security threats, adds pressure on airport operations.
