Abstract

The energy problem in Egypt is one of the biggest strategic challenges faced by decision-makers. It is considered an obstacle affecting environmental sustainability and the sustainability of the energy sector in Egypt. The issue, especially in the electricity networks, lies in management the lack of inclusion of smart management mechanisms in the sector's administration, and the absence of the geographical dimension in linking network assets with statistical analyses that reflect the actual situation. These are considered the biggest obstacles to improving the sector due to their significant impact on resources and poor coordination between supply and demand, as clarified by decision-makers in the current questionnaires which filled by them. With the presence of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, which represents a critical nerve in forming smart management for infrastructure networks, it is imperative to include mechanisms and standards of GIS and its modern applications in managing the energy sector. The current research aims to formulate standards and an executive framework to enable GIS mechanisms to manage the energy sector intelligently, ensuring its sustainability. In conclusion, implementing smart management of energy networks using ArcGIS Pro's “utility networks module" requires adherence to various criteria, which will be presented in detail in this study. These include sustainability, efficiency, maintenance response capabilities, security, integration, Real-time monitoring and controlling, analytical capabilities, and effective communication. By meeting these criteria, organizations can optimize energy network operations, enhance sustainability, and improve overall performance in the era of smart energy management.
