AI-powered technology services and consulting company Wipro has secured a multi-year contract with the Saudi Electric Company – National Grid SA.
Its scope is to implement a smart meter data management (MDM) system for National Grid SA’s transmission network, aimed at modernising the client’s meter data platform, improving operational efficiencies and enhancing risk management.
Wipro will design, develop, implement and provide support for the infrastructure and smart applications associated with the new MDM system.
The system will facilitate continuous monitoring, improving grid stability by delivering real-time data on power flow, voltage levels and equipment status.
Wipro Asia Pacific, India, Middle East and Africa (APMEA) CEO Vinay Firake stated: "We are excited to build a long-standing relationship with National Grid SA and are dedicated to assisting them in navigating the evolving energy landscape.
“With our deep domain expertise in the energy sector, smart solutions and advanced technological capabilities, we are proud to contribute to projects that are essential to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and help the Kingdom realise its innovation and digitalisation ambitions."
Wipro’s efforts will enable National Grid SA to enhance its grid planning by utilising intelligent forecasting and reporting techniques.
The intelligent integrations will enable proactive maintenance, expedite fault identification and provide visibility over energy usage patterns.
This will enable National Grid SA to optimise its power dispatch, lower operational costs and reduce outages, resulting in an enhanced experience for the end user.
Wipro has a comprehensive range of capabilities in consulting, design, engineering, and operations to assist clients in achieving their goals and establishing sustainable, future-ready businesses.
