BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 19. For the first time, 35/0.4 kilovolt power networks are being built in Karabakh, Araz Mammadzade, Director of the Training and Innovation Center of "Azerishig" OJSC, told Trend on the sidelines of WUF13.
He noted that certain changes and improvements are being made to the management system to achieve this.
"We are primarily developing a special digital system for the integration of renewable energy sources in Karabakh," Mammadzade said. "We intend to introduce the same concept for the Nakhchivan power networks as well. On the other hand, to protect energy efficiency and increase operational flexibility for the newly resettled population in Karabakh, we have created artificial intelligence-based platforms in our dedicated call center. Through these channels, we aim to utilize the predictive capabilities of AI."
The "Azerishig" official stated that these 35/0.4 kilovolt networks are being established exclusively in Karabakh.
"There will be no 6-10 kilovolt networks there," he added.
