Live in the Gulf: five faults caught within months at Saudi Electricity Company

The challenge: utility-scale fault prediction in the Gulf

Saudi Electricity Company operates one of the largest and fastest-growing grids in the Middle East, in one of the world’s harshest environments for electrical assets. The goal: catch developing faults before they become interruptions — at utility scale, from day one.

Live fault analytics across 37 bays with EcoPhi

IntelliView® was commissioned with our digitalization partner EcoPhi across three substations and 37 bays, at 33 kV and 69/13.8 kV levels. High-resolution measurement streams feed the analytics continuously, and every warning arrives with predicted cause and likely source.

The results so far

The deployment went live in March 2026 — and within months:

• Five faults predicted in advance, caught before the breaker opened
• Warnings up to two weeks ahead
• Coverage across all 37 monitored bays, day and night

Why it matters for fast-growing grids

This is what the start of a deployment looks like: results within the first months, on a live utility network, delivered together with a hardware partner. It is also proof that the platform travels — from Nordic distribution feeders to Gulf transmission-and-distribution scale.
