Saudi arabia: Saudi Energy continues to implement an advanced system of technological and digital projects aimed at enhancing the reliability of the electrical grid in the holy sites during the 1447 AH Hajj season, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, and real-time monitoring systems within an integrated operational environment to ensure uninterrupted, highly efficient electricity service for pilgrims.
According to Saudi Press Agency, as part of developing its digital capabilities for the Hajj season, Saudi Energy has adopted advanced AI models to predict electrical grid patterns and performance, supporting proactive operational planning and improving the efficiency of electrical load management.
The company also implemented real-time analysis and monitoring systems for transformer loads using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, enhancing preventive maintenance and improving the readiness of electrical assets.
Saudi Energy launched an interactive digital Hajj platform to monitor operational indicators in real time through smart dashboards covering the electrical grid in Makkah, Madinah, and the holy sites, including Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah.
The platform is linked to control systems, smart meters, and outage management systems, contributing to the unification of data sources, automated reporting, enhanced response speed, and improved operational readiness.
Among the company's key technological projects this season was the Early Fault Detection initiative, which represents a qualitative advancement in monitoring equipment within power stations in the holy sites by shifting from traditional periodic maintenance to a smart digital system based on proactive analysis and real-time monitoring of operational indicators.
Saudi Energy also launched "Musaed," a locally developed AI agent that enables employees to instantly and intelligently access approved operational manuals, procedures, and controls, contributing to faster information retrieval and supporting timely field decision-making.
The initiative is part of an integrated technological system that includes advanced digital and analytical solutions and more than 60 predictive models supported by the management of large volumes of operational data, enhancing the reliability of the electrical grid during the Hajj season and reflecting the Kingdom's leadership in managing major seasonal infrastructure through advanced digital and operational technologies.
