How Honeywell uses ETAP Grid to build the smart city infrastructure of Egypt鈥檚 new administrative capital (ACUD)

The ETAP ADMS system promotes true digital transformation at every project stage. The process starts with design thinking by providing the necessary tools for digitization of the design, moving into the creation of the hybrid model, then the asset repository, and the creation of the digital twin model for digital automation and visualization.
by Mr. Mohamed Moselhy, Global Smart Cities Leader, Honeywell Dubai

Honeywell, serving as the Master Systems Integrator (MSI) for the project, partnered with ETAP to deliver the city鈥檚 smart electrical grid platform powered by ETAP Grid鈩�, an advanced distribution management solution. This partnership enables true digital transformation across design, engineering, operations, and maintenance for one of the largest smart cities ever built.

ACUD, the Administrative Capital for Urban Development, oversees the New Administrative Capital of Egypt, located near Cairo. It is an ambitious project to create a new city that is familiar, environmentally friendly, technologically advanced, lively, and well-connected with the world.

Honeywell International Inc. is an American publicly-traded multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It primarily operates in four business areas: aerospace, building automation, industrial automation, and energy and sustainability solutions (ESS).

Location: New Administrative Capital, Cairo, Arab Republic of Egypt, Africa

Year: 2022

The Smart City concept

Challenges

  • Creating a fully digitized electrical grid model capable of supporting ACUD’s rapid expansion and long-term scalability.
  • Integrating thousands of smart devices - from smart meters to substations, sensors, and IoT gateways - into one unified electrical operations platform.
  • Leveraging data from multiple systems (SCADA, AMI, GIS, IoT, asset management, workforce management, CRM) while ensuring interoperability.
  • Coordinating multi-utility services (electricity, water, gas) and ensuring seamless visualization in the city operations center.
  • Supporting operational resilience, including switching management, outage response, and incident coordination.
  • Developing a digital twin to support forecasting, planning, simulation, analysis, and operator training.

Selected applications

 

ETAP Grid™ distribution management system

Honeywell deployed this solution as the core smart grid platform. Key capabilities include:
  • Unified SCADA data acquisition from substations, smart meters, feeders, and distributed assets
  • Hybrid model creation, combining GIS, SCADA, AMI, and asset-management data
  • Digital twin automation for forecasting, state estimation, load allocation, switching sequence management, and outage analysis
  • OMS integration, enabling load profiling, outage prediction, and incident management
  • GIS integration, automatically onboarding the entire city’s geospatial electrical network into ETAP
  • IoT platform interoperability using MQTT and enterprise APIs

ETAP design digitization tools

  • Replacement of conventional CAD workflows
  • Auto-generation and completion of digital single-line diagrams
  • Creation of a unified asset repository for the entire city grid

OTC / City operations center integration

Real-time multi-utility monitoring
Unified dashboards, alarms, events, and alerts
Cross-domain correlation between grid, water, gas, mobility, and safety systems

 

Why do they use ETAP?

Main customer benefits

  • Digitization of classical design workflows, enabling consultants to onboard models digitally and complete SLDs automatically with far greater accuracy.
  • Creation of a single electrical hybrid model linked to geospatial GIS, smart metering (AMI), and SCADA data - forming the backbone of the city’s digital twin.
  • Scalable and modular platform, allowing the smart grid to expand seamlessly through future phases of ACUD development.
  • Real-time situational awareness for city operators, who can now monitor electrical performance alongside traffic, water, gas, safety, and environmental data in a unified dashboard.
  • Advanced analytics, including playback of past events to investigate root causes and prevent recurrence.
  • High-quality switching management, including interlock validation and secure operational workflows.
  • Faster outage response and improved service continuity through OMS integration and automated workforce dispatch.
  • Operator Training Simulator (OTS) enabling teams to train on real scenarios, run “what-if” studies, and practice system operations safely before deployment.
  • Future-proof urban infrastructure, driven by a resilient smart grid architecture that supports economic growth and smart services delivery.

Conclusion

With ETAP Grid™ at the core of its smart grid architecture, Egypt’s New Administrative Capital is setting a global benchmark for digital cities. Honeywell and ETAP together provide an integrated, scalable, and resilient platform that enables advanced design, analytics, operational coordination, outage management, and multi-utility situational awareness - paving the way for a smarter, more efficient, and future-ready urban environment.
