Review Of Normal And Infrequent In-Feed Loss Risks In The Transmission System Of Oman, Omar H. Abdalla, Adil Al-Busaidi, Hilal Al-Hadi, Hisham A. Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi Nov 2014

Review Of Normal And Infrequent In-Feed Loss Risks In The Transmission System Of Oman, Omar H. Abdalla, Adil Al-Busaidi, Hilal Al-Hadi, Hisham A. Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi

Omar H. Abdalla

The paper presents technical studies performed to review the values of the Normal Infeed Loss Risk (NILR) and Infrequent Infeed Loss Risk (IILR) in the Transmission System Security Standard (TSSS). The objective is to facilitate the connection of the largest power station in Oman, which is Sur 2000 MW IPP, to the Main Interconnected Transmission System (MITS), while complying with the requirements of the TSSS. The full output of 2000 MW of Sur power plant is expected to available in 2015; therefore the MITS model of 2015 is used in the studies using the DIgSILENT professional software. The model includes …


Voltge & Reactive Power Control In Oman Transmission System, Omar H. Abdalla, Rashid Al-Badwawi, Hilal Al-Hadi, Hisham Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi, Karim Karoui, Ariadne Szekut Jun 2013

Voltge & Reactive Power Control In Oman Transmission System, Omar H. Abdalla, Rashid Al-Badwawi, Hilal Al-Hadi, Hisham Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi, Karim Karoui, Ariadne Szekut

Omar H. Abdalla

The paper presents voltage and reactive power control in the Main Interconnected Transmission System (MITS) in the Sultanate of Oman. The objective is to improve voltage profile at substations supplying distribution companies and directly connected bulk customer. An objective function is used to maximize reactive power margin of generating units to maintain as much as possible reserves on different generators. The control parameters include existing voltage and reactive power control means, e.g. settings of generators’ excitation/AVR, transformer tap-changing, and capacitor bank switching. The constraints include operational limits of the above control devices in addition to allowable limits of busbar voltages, …
