Red Sea Project - How to Optimize Renewable Plant Control & Power Systems with ETAP for Vision 2030

21:51 Webinars  

This Red Sea Project is a groundbreaking endeavor in Saudi Arabia under the Saudi Vision 2030 economic development program. The project is powered by a fully renewable energy system, including large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) system and a substantial 1.3 GWh energy storage system, effectively providing 100% clean energy to the development. As the Engineering, Procurement and Construction firm for this project, SEPCOIII has been involved with the design and construction of a wide range of permanent utility assets, including support facilities such as desalination plants, power generation facilities and distribution networks for water, electricity and natural gas. In this presentation, learn how SEPCOIII relied on ETAP's Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) to assist with the technology challenges for the project’s distributed energy power system, and how the solution is being used to manage and supervise the power distribution system to achieve better optimizations and improve system stability.

Drakenstein Municipality's Digital Transformation: ETAP ADMS for Efficient Electrical Network
