This paper investigates factors which influence the power quality performance of the Dhofar Power Grid, based upon the first 50MW wind farm project connection. The wind farm consists of 20×2.5 MW wind turbines and will be integrated into the 132kV Dhofar network which is connected with the Maim Interconnected System via the Petroleum Development of Oman grid. As this is the first wind farm project...
Overvoltage is a concerning issue among Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations during the winter light load period. This paper presented a review of the recent reactive compensation studies conducted by Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) for the Main Interconnected System (MIS) of the Sultanate of Oman, regarding to its new 400 kV transmission systems. Discussions about challenges and possible...
The paper presents dynamic assessment of voltage and reactive power control in the Main Interconnected Transmission System (MITS) in Oman. Two case studies are considered; namely the MITS with and without temporary diesel generators. Voltage and reactive power control is achieved by optimization process to maximize reactive power margin of generating units to maintain as much as possible reserves...
The paper describes the applications of fault current limiting techniques to Oman electricity transmission system to overcome high short-circuit currents in some parts of the grid. These include splitting busbars at selected grid stations, regrouping generators at power stations, opening transmission lines at critical points, and introducing fault current limiters at strategic places in the network...
