“…e power quality assessment is imperative as part of the license obligation for a transmission operator and is paramount to the wind farm developers in Oman for filter design and compensation sizing. In [33], the authors expanded the study carried out in [29] to a 1700 MW Sohar-3 power station in the Oman power grid.…”

Recently, the authority for electricity regulations in Oman introduced a new regulation for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. One of the main concerns is how the penetration of the grid-connected PV systems would affect the Mazoon Electricity Company’s (MZEC) load behavior, especially at peak times. This paper presents the behavior of grid-connected loads considering the MZEC, which is one of the power distribution companies in Oman. The Al Bashir primary substation load distribution network was used as a case study. The MZEC peak load pattern was considered with respect to solar PV connection regulations in Oman. Furthermore, the various timings for electricity billing and the expected incentives were also used in evaluating the economical benefits of integrating the solar PV systems into the power grid. Data were collected for two years for the feeder and distribution transformers in the power grid. The export and import average power generation within the period of the study were also investigated. The behavior of the grid loads was investigated before and after installing the PV systems. The variables of the average power, load import, and export for different periods were used to evaluate the system performance. The obtained results reflect that with proper synchronization of the solar PV systems in the power grid, the maximum load of the primary substation decreased from 80% to 40%, considerably saving cost. Consequently, more consumers could be fed with the excess solar power, with less distribution transformers in the power grid.

“…Climate change has resulted in a need for a rapid transition from fossil fuels to clean energy. Therefore, high penetration of RES with thermal resources becomes an essential requirement to maintain a sustainable future low carbon energy 12,13 . However, the intermittent nature of RES has introduced a significant impact of uncertainties 14 .…”

The proper optimal generation expansion planning (GEP) should meet the reliability criteria requirements over a planning horizon under the presence of uncertainties. The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (RES) introduces an enormous uncertainties impact within the planning model. A simulation model for RES uncertainty is developed using the capacity factor (CF) of the RES historical data. The RES simulation model is handled via the probability density function (PDF). The uncertainty parameter of different RES is described as a flexible polyhedral uncertainty set and incorporated within the proposed GEP model. The influence of different uncertainty scenarios for each RES uncertainty on the GEP model can be analyzed separately. The RES uncertainty scenarios are predefined and incorporated within the proposed GEP model through a proposed parameter named as a confidence level. The proposed confidence level parameter is beneficial to the power system planner to control the degree of robustness. Different GEP results are presented for various RES uncertainty scenarios. Three methods are proposed as appropriate solutions to deal with the RES uncertainty impact. The most economical method among the three proposed methods is determined by developing an objective function tailored to achieve the optimality of the economic factor.
