Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Designs Software for Smartization of Power Grid
“We presented the software for smartization of the power grid which is now also used by Tehran Province’s Electricity Distribution Company,” Qassem Derakhshan, a faculty member of the Islamic Azad University’s Damavand branch and the managing director of the company, told ANA on the sidelines of Asr-e Omid event and exhibition in Karaj.
“This product immediately contacts the center of electricity distribution company as soon as a power outage occurs or when the lighting of the street has a problem,” he added.
“Based on the data and artificial intelligence algorithms, the software informs the electricity company what to do to settle the user's problem in the shortest possible time. This home-made system now provides service for 4.5 million customers in the city of Tehran,” Derakhshan said.
