Title: Operating Reserve Management in MIS and Dhofar systems of OETC
Start Date: 2015
End Date: 2018
Client: Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC)
Details:
Oman Electrical Transmission Company (OETC) is comprised of MIS and Dhofar networks which are connected through 132 kV Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) network. Moreover, MIS network has an international interconnection to GCCIA system through Transco of Abdu Dhabi 220 kV. MIS and Dhofar systems must at all times have sufficient operating reserve in order to maintain the security and reliability of power system through economic operation. The goal of this project is to determine appropriate operating reserve for both MIS and Dhofar systems under following conditions:
Operating isolated from PDO.(for MIS and Dhofar separately)
Operating synchronously with MIS through PDO connection
Operating synchronously with MIS through PDO connection in parallel with Transco
Based on the above conditions, the operating reserve requirements are determined and thereafter a comprehensive operating reserve policy and dispatch principles which comply with the standards of safety, security and reliability of the system subjected to economic operation is developed. Implementation of margin policy and dispatch procedures in cooperation with Load Dispatch Center (LDC) over a period of one month is in the scope of this project as well.
