Reactive Power Compensation in Oman 400kV Transmission System

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to present the challenges, methodological approach and possible solutions for the overvoltage issue during the winter light load period in the Main Interconnected Transmission System (MITS) of Oman after introducing the new 400kV system. Load flow studies of the planned MITS in 2016, including representation of other local and GCC interconnection grids, have shown overvoltage issues at the 400kV substations in Oman during winter off-peak demand. These voltage issues can even lead to difficulties in synchronizing the 400kV circuits. Simulation results are presented to define the size and location of a reactive power compensator which can resolve such overvoltage issues. Many options of the reactive power compensation, including fixed and variable means, have been studied and the best option (fixed shunt reactors) is selected.
