The DEWA R&D Centre, at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, aims to become a global platform that develops and tests innovative solutions to enhance the operations and services of DEWA. The Centre’s research areas include solar power, water, smart grid integration, and energy efficiency. These core areas of the R&D are supported by 3 Enablers: Fourth Industrial Revolution (including AI, IoT, Robotics & Drones, 3D Printing & Advanced Materials), Energy System Analyses, and Space. Through Space-D, the Centre develops several niche use-cases for grid and water networks.
