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

Omar H. Abdalla

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 …


A Review Of Parallel Operation Of Active Power Filters In The Distributed Generation System, Shafiuzzaman Khan Khadem, Malabika Basu, Michael Conlon Sep 2011

A Review Of Parallel Operation Of Active Power Filters In The Distributed Generation System, Shafiuzzaman Khan Khadem, Malabika Basu, Michael Conlon

Conference papers

In this paper a technical review of parallel operation of Active Power Filter (APF) for harmonic power compensation in distributed generation (DG) network has been presented. Controlling methods and connection topologies with their pros and cons are described. Recent improvements in controlling and future trends for the application of APFs in distributed mode are also identified.
