  Dubai Electricity and Water Authority has adopted
• 0:02
  an advanced smart system to strengthen the reliability
• 0:05
  of its electricity distribution networks. The
• 0:08
  system is called the Automatic Smart Grid Restoration
• 0:11
  System, or ASGR, and it is designed to support
• 0:15
  full automation and instant decision -making.
• 0:18
  Yes, this is a significant development because
• 0:21
  the system is being implemented within Dubai
• 0:24
  Electricity and Water Authority's Distribution
• 0:27
  Power Division. and is intended to keep pace
• 0:30
  with Dubai's rapid urban and economic growth.
• 0:33
  It also reinforces Dubai Electricity and Water
• 0:36
  Authority's role in building a smart, resilient
• 0:39
  infrastructure capable of meeting future demand
• 0:42
  and supporting Dubai's position as a leading
• 0:45
  global smart city. From an operational perspective,
• 0:48
  ASGR automatically isolates the interrupted feeder
• 0:52
  and restores service to the remaining customers
• 0:54
  by transferring them to adjacent circuits. That
• 0:58
  means service continuity can be maintained more
• 1:00
  effectively while faulty sections can be located
• 1:03
  with greater accuracy. That is correct. The substations
• 1:07
  along the feeder are equipped with intelligent
• 1:09
  electronic devices and remote terminal units.
• 1:13
  These provide real -time monitoring and clear
• 1:16
  visibility into substation operations, which
• 1:19
  allows faster fault detection and faster restoration.
• 1:22
  In addition, Peer -to -peer modern communication
• 1:25
  protocols are used to ensure reliable data transmission
• 1:29
  between substations along the feeder and the
• 1:32
  distribution control center. This innovation
• 1:35
  is also important because it represents a practical
• 1:37
  application of operational intelligence in distribution
• 1:41
  networks. It contributes to higher reliability,
• 1:44
  better asset utilization efficiency, improved
• 1:47
  safety for technical teams by reducing unnecessary
• 1:50
  field interventions, and stronger decision -making
• 1:53
  based on accurate, real -time data. His Excellency
• 1:57
  Saeed Mohamed Altayar, MD and CEO of Dubai Electricity
• 2:01
  and Water Authority, said, We continue to adopt
• 2:05
  smart and advanced solutions in electricity grid
• 2:07
  management and operation. in line with the vision
• 2:10
  of the wise leadership to make Dubai a city of
• 2:13
  the future and home to some of the most reliable,
• 2:16
  efficient, and sustainable energy networks in
• 2:19
  the world. The automatic smart grid restoration
• 2:22
  system represents a significant advancement in
• 2:25
  grid resilience, enabling immediate fault response,
• 2:28
  minimizing customer impact, and accelerating
• 2:31
  service restoration with high efficiency and
• 2:34
  operational accuracy. supported by real -time
• 2:37
  data and intelligent analytics. This innovation
• 2:41
  also reflects our commitment to strengthening
• 2:43
  business continuity and enhancing the readiness
• 2:46
  of critical infrastructure through a smart energy
• 2:49
  system capable of predicting, adapting to, and
• 2:52
  responding flexibly to a wide range of operational
• 2:55
  challenges, further consolidating Dubai's global
• 2:59
  leadership in smart and sustainable electricity
• 3:02
  grids.
