The objective of this paper is to assess the impact of interconnecting Oman and United Arab Emirates (UAE) through the existing 220kV, 46.7km double circuit transmission line rated 762MVA for each circuit. A model is developed to represent both systems of Oman and UAE based on the EUROSTAG© software. Load flow and contingency studies are presented to evaluate the compliance of the interconnected system for security criteria N and N-1. Calculations are applied to two operating conditions (peak and minimum load) and for three energy exchange cases: no exchange and maximum exchanges in both directions. Short circuit studies are presented …


Steady-State And Dynamic Performance Of Oman Transmission System With Diesel-Engine Driven Distributed Generation, Omar H. Abdalla, Rashid Al-Badwawi, Hilal Al-Hadi, Hisham Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi Sep 2011

Steady-State And Dynamic Performance Of Oman Transmission System With Diesel-Engine Driven Distributed Generation, Omar H. Abdalla, Rashid Al-Badwawi, Hilal Al-Hadi, Hisham Al-Riyami, Ahmed Al-Nadabi

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 …
