  announced strong results from its in -house developed
• 0:04
  Optimum Management System for the life of distribution
• 0:07
  cables. The system, protected under intellectual
• 0:11
  property rights in the UAE, has been operational
• 0:14
  within the distribution power division since
• 0:16
  2022 and has helped reduce cable failure rates
• 0:20
  while delivering major operational and financial
• 0:23
  benefits. A key achievement is that the system
• 0:27
  received a five -star rating at the International
• 0:29
  Best Practice Competition, where it was recognised
• 0:32
  as a global standard for network reliability
• 0:34
  and asset management. It analyses cable and circuit
• 0:38
  data to identify components most at risk of age
• 0:42
  -related deterioration. Since the project's inception,
• 0:46
  the system has identified and isolated more than
• 0:49
  500 affected components, supporting more proactive
• 0:52
  inspection, Maintenance and Replacement Planning

  proactive approach to managing critical assets
• 1:30
  by leveraging big data and advanced analytics
• 1:33
  to support decision -making and improve maintenance
• 1:36
  and operational efficiency. The system also enhances
• 1:41
  the reliability and sustainability of the distribution
• 1:43
  network, keeping pace with Dubai's rapid growth
• 1:46
  and supporting the Emirates' sustainable development
• 1:49
  goals. His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al -Tayr,
• 1:54
  MD and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority,
• 1:58

  traditional maintenance practices to an intelligent
• 2:04
  approach based on predictive analytics and risk
• 2:07
  assessment, supporting more accurate and effective
• 2:10
  decision -making for inspection, maintenance
• 2:12
  and replacement activities. This enhances the
• 2:16
  operational readiness of the distribution network.
• 2:19
  improves asset management performance, and helps
• 2:22
  ensure the continuity of electricity supply according
• 2:25
  to the highest standards of reliability and efficiency.

  Rashid bin Humayden, Executive Vice President
• 2:31
  of Distribution Power at Dubai Electricity and
• 2:34
  Water Authority, said the system uses an intelligent
• 2:37
  model to analyze technical and operational data
• 2:40
  from distribution cables, calculate precise aging
• 2:44
  indicators, assess age -related risks and help
• 2:48
  teams prioritise inspection, maintenance and
• 2:51
  replacement based on operational importance and
• 2:54
  asset condition. This innovation reflects the
• 2:57
  Dubai Electricity and Water Authority's broader
• 2:59
  commitment to smart, sustainable infrastructure
• 3:02
  and reinforces its global leadership in advanced
• 3:05
  digital asset management, while supporting efficiency,
