Khalifa University and EWEC Partner to Develop State-of-the-Art Grid Technologies

February 9, 2026

Khalifa University and the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) have signed an agreement to jointly develop advanced energy system tools that will contribute to the stability and resilience of the UAE’s rapidly decarbonizing energy sector. Together, Khalifa University and EWEC will develop intelligent software modules that enhance critical grid functions and support the integration of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems with energy storage into the power grid. The collaboration will also help develop machine learning–based tools for estimating system inertia and forecasting frequency deviations, accompanied by recommendations to mitigate potential risks to grid stability.
