As part of its smart grid programme, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has launched the Big Data and Analytics platform to integrate smart grid applications, and operational technologies, among others. This enables the processing of large amounts of data and provides fact-based analytics and forecasting for current and future projects. The platform contributes to improving the operations and management of assets and smart meters, thus improving the experience of stakeholders and enhancing their happiness. It also launched the Smart Grid Data Governance platform to ensure compliance with all data policies and procedures. This ensures best practices in accountability, decision-making structure, data management and stewardship. The Smart Grid Data Governance platform manages data as an asset, and defines and approves data strategies, policies, standards, procedures and metrics.
