Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the power transmission industry by improving design accuracy, reducing engineering time, minimizing costs, and enhancing asset reliability. In modern transmission projects, particularly large-scale projects in Saudi Arabia such as 380kV and HVDC networks, AI is becoming an essential engineering tool rather than a futuristic concept. Artificial Intelligence (AI) fundamentally…

380kV BSP Projects Winners in 2025 in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s power transmission sector continues to expand rapidly, driven by large-scale PV and wind generation projects and the need for robust 380kV Bulk Supply Points (BSPs). In 2025, a total of 20 major 380kV BSP projects were announced and opened, offering a clear picture of how EPC contracts are distributed among leading contractors. Some…
The Electrical Power System in Data Centers
In today’s digital era, our daily lives depend heavily on the cloud. Financial transactions, communications, and business operations all rely on data centers. These facilities are the hidden engines of the modern world. However, they are now under intense scrutiny. Data centers frequently make headlines for their massive power consumption and their impact on the…
Autotransformers in EHV Power Systems: Theory, Maths & Practice
Autotransformers are among the most misunderstood yet critically important assets in modern power systems. While they appear deceptively simple at low voltages, at EHV levels (380–500 kV) they become system-defining components that directly influence fault levels, insulation coordination, grounding, and grid stability. This article provides a complete, utility-grade explanation of autotransformers, covering theory, mathematics, IEC…
The Rise of SF6-Free Switchgear: Alternatives, Advantages, and the Road Ahead
SF₆-free switchgear is no longer a future concept. Manufacturers have already begun mass-producing equipment without SF₆, and many installations worldwide are operating successfully today. In this post, we will discuss the following: The End of SF6? Why the Electrical Industry is Going SF6-Free For over 50 years, Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) has been the backbone of the electrical…
Classification of Lightning Protection Systems
In this post we are providing you an overview of Classification of Lightning Protection Systems (LPS). Lightning Protection Systems (LPS) are categorized into four classes (I, II, III, and IV). This classification is based on the level of lightning protection required. These classes are defined in IEC 62305 (Protection Against Lightning). The higher the class…
