Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) will significantly impact roles within the regional power sector according to the newly-released Middle East Electricity A.I. & Energy Report, which forecasts major adjustments to jobs in power generation plant operations and maintenance as sensors, digitisation and machine learning are increasingly adopted.<\/p>\n

Released a mere two weeks before the 2019 edition of Middle East Electricity, the leading international trade event for the power industry, the report says A.I. adoption will result in data analytics which will \u201cimprove plant efficiencies via improved systems for asset management, control and monitoring, and automation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Produced by Middle East Electricity organisers, Informa Exhibitions, the report cites electricity generation and street lighting management as key examples of where A.I. can boost production of large energy-consuming systems, with real time decision-making enabling operators to quickly identify efficiencies and investment requirements.<\/p>\n

And with lighting in the vanguard of A.I. transformation, Informa Exhibitions has introduced a one-day conference focusing on IoT lighting \u2013 the first of its kind in the region \u2013 as part of Middle East Electricity\u2019s extensive CPD accredited knowledge programme. Smart street lighting is a central conference theme with speakers predicting its impact across the MENA region will evolve lighting\u2019s role from merely illuminating highways to providing social, environmental and operational cost benefits.<\/p>\n

Disruptive 4th<\/sup> Industrial Revolution technology underscores this year\u2019s Middle East Electricity, which runs at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) from March 5-7, as well as its expansive, three-day education programme, which provides 94 hours of free conferences and seminars.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to providing the cornerstone of our education programme, advanced technology solutions are prominent throughout the displays of the 1,600 leading manufacturers and suppliers exhibiting at the show,\u201d explained Claudia Konieczna, Exhibition Director \u2013 Informa Industrial Group. \u201cThis is an acknowledgement that the industry is at a tipping point and will shortly be unrecognisable to the sector of today.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough analysts have been unable to drill down into precisely how much of 2025\u2019s forecasted $3.06 trillion global A.I. market will be linked to the energy sector, the benefits for electricity generation and supply are becoming clear with digitised generation and energy retailing being major beneficiaries.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report points to the emergence of new platforms which allow generator fleet connection easing the sector\u2019s entry into the IoT era. \u201cEventually, resultant insights could result in further innovation, no matter what the generation source,\u201d says the report.<\/p>\n

Advances identified in the report include smarter wind turbines and grids, as well as A.I. and monitoring systems to detect solar output falls. \u201cThe need for more complete data is also driving the industry, which in turn is driving requirements for autonomous surveillance drones, better sensors, cybersecurity protocols, and supply chain optimisation,\u201d says the report. Beneficial outputs identified include more efficient demand response and load aggregation, reduced operation and asset management costs, lower generation capacity needs, as well as greater billing, loading profiling, forecasting and asset loading.<\/p>\n

And although A.I. is currently employed for routine tasks, the report predicts its scope is likely to grow as systems improve with new technologies creeping into professional services.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are reaching a point where almost everything can be connected and, eventually, will be,\u201d explained Konieczna. \u201cPerhaps more than any other Middle East Electricity in the show\u2019s 44-year history, disruption is in sharp focus throughout all five of the show\u2019s dedicated sub-sectors, whether it be power generation, transmission and distribution, lighting, solar or energy storage and management. The 60,000-plus power sector professionals expected to visit the show will discover thousands of products and innovative technologies energising this essential industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other transformative technology and practices evolving the power industry will be covered in the two-day \u2018Revolutionising Power Generation Conference\u2019, running across both day two and day three (March 6-7) of the event.<\/p>\n

Middle East Electricity is held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Deputy Ruler and is hosted by the UAE Ministry of Energy. The event will be open daily from 10-6pm.<\/p>\n
