Abstract
Summary:
The objective of this paper is to assess the technical feasibility studies of a new 400 kV interconnection between the following power systems in Oman: (i) the Main Interconnected System (MIS) of the Northern Region of Oman, (ii) the Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) System, (iii) Dhofar system, and (iv) the isolated system in Duqm. Three different options for connecting the MIS, PDO, Dhofar and Duqm systems are presented. The evaluation studies include steady state analyses (load flow, short-circuit, voltage profile, contingency, and power transfer capability) in addition to transient analyses (rotor angle stability, voltage stability and oscillation damping studies). Technical criteria of the Transmission Security Standard and Grid Code are considered. The best option of the 400kV interconnector is identified based on the steady-state and transient studies.
