Wipro Ltd has announced a multi-year strategic contract from Saudi Electric Company – National Grid SA.
In a release, Wipro said that it will implement a Smart Meter Data Management (MDM) system for the transmission network to modernize the client’s meter data platform, enhance operational efficiencies, and better manage risks.
New MDM system
Wipro will design, develop, implement, and support the infrastructure and smart applications for the new MDM system. Through continuous monitoring, the system will improve grid stability by providing real-time data on power flow, voltage, and equipment data. Wipro will enable National Grid SA to improve its grid planning through intelligent forecasting and reporting. The intelligent integrations will support proactive maintenance, faster fault identification, and enhance visibility of energy usage patterns. This will allow National Grid SA to optimize its power dispatch, reduce operational costs, and minimize outages, leading to optimal experiences for the end user.
