The paper presents simulation studies of installing a number of diesel-engine driven generating units at selected locations in the main transmission system of Oman. A total of 300MW generator units are proposed on a temporary basis to aid in meeting the peak demand in summer 2011. A digital model is developed to simulate the system including central power plants, transmission system, loads and the proposed Distributed Generation (DG). The model includes representation of governor and excitation systems. The simulation studies are performed by using the DIgSILENT PowerFacrory software package. The objective of the studies is to demonstrate effects of the …
