Five-Year Annual Transmission Capability Statement (2020 - 2024)
Preface
This Transmission Capability Statement is provided by the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC)
according to the Transmission and Dispatch Licence Condition number 27 and the Grid Code (Planning Code). The
Statement describes in detail the Main Interconnected System (MIS) and Dhofar Transmission System capability
over the coming five years 2020-2024. The Statement provides up-to-date transmission system data in order to
identify those parts of the system, which offer opportunities for future development of existing and potential users
of the system. In this Capability Statement, the results of load flow and short circuit analyses are presented based
on the planned system expansion reinforcement to meet the generation plan provided by Oman Power and Water
Procurement Company (OPWP) and the demand forecast provided by the Distribution Companies (MEDC, MJEC,
MZEC, DPC and RAEC). OETC grid model has been updated to include new projects schedule, demand forecast,
generation data and transmission system data. Thirty transmission projects at MIS and Dhofar System are planned
over the coming five-year period. Most of the projects designed to increase the transmission system capacity so that
it can meet future growth in demand, connect new generation and satisfy the security criteria.
The existing and planned development in the generation and transmission systems are described, including the
completion of projects in different voltage levels. The first 50 MW Wind Farm project in the Sultanate of Oman
commissioned in Dhofar transmission system in Q3 2019. Moreover, the transmission project of connecting the
first 500 MW Solar PV IPP in the Sultanate of Oman to the 220kV system at Ibri will be completed by Q4 2020.
In addition, transmission project of connecting 1000 MW Solar IPP in Manah is expected to be completed by Q2
2022. Each 500MW Solar plant at Manah will be connected to the transmission grid by Q2 2023 and Q2 2024.
Furthermore, a new generation connection to the Waste to Energy Plant (maximum capacity of 160MW) is
estimated to be completed by Q2 2024. Further, OPWP is proposing a 300MW of Wind plants to be connected to
the transmission system by Q2 2024. The proposed plants sites that considered by OETC and according to OPWP
sites selection are Jalan Bani Bu Ali and Duqm (maximum capacity of 100MW and 200MW respectively) to be
connected to the grid by Q2 2024. Moreover, RAEC has submitted two connection applications on 6th of January
2019 requesting for new grid stations at Mahout and Duqm areas. Further, PDO has submitted two connection
applications for Barik and Suwaihat sites on 12th of June 2019 requesting for 500MW export and import power at
each grid station. In addition, the new 400kV interconnection project will facilitate the connection to PDO system,
Duqm and Mahout Systems. Currently the project is in the design stage. The execution of the project will be in two
phases: the first phase will include constructing Suwaihat, Duqm and Mahout grid stations in order to displace the
diesel generation in Duqm and Mahout areas by Q2 2023. The second phase will be required for completing the
400kV OHL from Nahadah to Suwaihat with the construction of a new 400/132kV grid station at Barik area and
the expected completion date will be end of Q4 2024. Currently, OETC is carrying out a long term study (Master
Plan 2020-2040) to evaluate the future plan which includes transmission system reinforcements, connecting future
Renewable Energy Sources and future 400kV North – South Interconnector with Dhofar System. It is one of
OETC’s strategic planning concepts to introduce the 400kV system as a backbone to allow the power evacuation
from the centralized power plants and future Renewable Energy Resources. Major developments in the MIS include
the installation and operation of new 400kV transmission lines with associated new 400/132kV, 400/132/33kV and
400/33kV grid stations. In addition, the developments include the installation of 220kV and 132kV transmission
lines with associated new 220/132kV and 132/33kV grid stations at MIS and Dhofar system. OETC’s strategy is to
operate the 400kV system as a backbone, 220kV as a transmission system and 132kV as sub-transmission system.

1. Executive Summary
This Capability Statement presents the Oman Electricity Transmission Company’s development plans for the
400kV, 220kV and 132kV transmission systems for the years 2020 to 2024 in both Main Interconnected
Transmission System (MITS) and Dhofar Transmission System (DTS). DTS has been transferred to Oman
Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) on 1st of January 2014. This document describes the development plans
for both MITS and DTS.
The Statement includes data for the generators, loads, overhead lines, cables, transformers, reactive power
compensators and capacitor banks used in the development of transmission system models. In addition, the
Statement includes the demand and generation forecast. The power system studies undertaken by OETC’s
DIgSILENT Power Factory software, version 17.0.4, in preparation of this Capability Statement. The Statement
also includes the results of power system analysis of the transmission system that defines system performance when
operating under the extreme system peak (summer season) and system off peak (winter season) in each of the five
years. From this analysis, assessment has been made of the opportunities for the connection of new generation, new
demand and reinforcement on the system.
Table 1 lists the schedule for committed and planned system development projects on the 400kV, 220kV and 132kV
transmission systems, although it should be noted that not all of the planned projects listed have full authorisation
at this time. The 400kV system development in MITS, includes the installation of 400kV systems to the existing
220/132kV and 132/33kV grid stations. Furthermore, one 400/132/33kV, five 400/132kV and one 400/33kV grid
station will be installed during the period of this Capability Statement. In addition, two 220/132kV and seven
132/33kV grid stations in MITS will be energized during the period of this Capability Statement.The total number
of both MITS and DTS of 400kV, 220kV and 132kV grid stations will also increase from ninety nine by the end of
2020 to hundred and fifteen by the peak of 2024.
It is one of OETC’s strategic planning concepts to introduce the 400kV system as a backbone to allow the power
evacuation from the centralized power plants towards the demand. Furthermore, OETC has installed 220kV double
circuit lines around northern Oman to supply and support the 132kV system. In 2010, the 220kV connections
between Sohar Interconnector Station (SIS) and Mahadha (Al-Wasit) were completed to support linking Oman
(OETC) network with the GCCIA Grid through UAE (Transco Abu Dhabi) network. In addition, Khaborah
Interconnection Station (KIS) is expected to be completed by August 2020 to increase the system reliability within
Al Batinah North region. Eventually, Nizwa 220/132kV grid station will be connected via 220kV OHL to New Izki
grid station by peak 2024. The purpose of this project is to maintain transmission security standard requirements
and to increase the system reliability within Al Dhakilyah region.
OETC has introduced the first 400kV system including 400kV connection between Jahloot grid station and Sur
power station and line between Sur power station and New Izki grid stations in 2016. In 2018, OETC introduced a
new 400kV OHL from Ibri IPP to New Izki grid stations and a new 400/220kV grid station at Ibri. Furthermore,
400kV transmission lines have been installed in 2019, between Sohar Free Zone – Shinas (operated as 132kV) and
Sohar Free Zone-SIS, Sohar Free Zone-Mahadha (operated as 220kV). In the same year, 400kV connections of
Sohar-3 IPP and Sohar Free Zone 400kV grid station were energised. Moreover, a LILO connection from Sur-New
Izki 400kV line at Qabel area with introduction of a new 400/132kV grid station. Furthermore, New Izki-Misfah
400kV OHL is expected to be completed by peak 2021. In peak 2022, the connection of Manah Solar IPP through
LILO Ibri IPP – New Izki 400kV OHL will be completed. Construction of Al Jefnen 400/132kV and New Rustaq
Page | 10
400/132kV grid stations will be completed by peak 2023 and 2024 respectively. In addition, the North – South
interconnection project (part 1 until Duqm and Mahout) will include new 400kV grid stations at Suwaihat, Mahout
and Duqm area with associated lines for phase-1. Whereas, phase 2 will include construction of Barik grid station
and the connection of it to Nahadah and Suwaihat 400kV grid stations and this phase is expected to be completed
by December 2024. Accordingly, the MITS will have sixteen 400kV grid stations at Sur, Jahloot, New Izki, Misfah,
Ibri IPP, Sohar III IPP, Sohar Free Zone, SIS, Qabel, Al Jefnen, Manah Solar IPP, New Rustaq, Suwaihat, Nahadah,
Mahout and Duqm by peak 2024. The total installed capacity of 400kV grid stations will be around 20,250 MVA
in peak 2024. In accordance with Condition 27 of OETC’s Transmission and Dispatch Licence, the power flow
studies presented in this Capability Statement are based on updated demand forecast data provided by Distribution
Companies (DISCOs) and the updated generation forecast by Oman Power and Water Procurement Company
(OPWP).
To be able to perform the studies and produce the results presented in this Statement, the deadlines to receive data
from the various parties (OPWP and DISCOs) are as per the Grid Code requirements. For the demand forecast,
DISCOs have an obligation to submit the data by end of September. Regarding the generation data, OPWP has an
obligation to submit the data by end of October. Any information received after the deadlines will be included in
the next Five-Year Annual Transmission Capability Statement (2021-2025).
The introduction of Cost Reflective Tariff (CRT) in 2017 has affected the major customer’s consumptions and
expected to have more influence in the coming years on the demand forecast. “The Authority’s view is that Cost
Reflective Tariffs are required to moderate and help in managing expected increases in electricity subsidy as a result
of: significant growth in electricity demand and the investment needed to supply it, increasing electricity intensity
of consumption, the requirement to use more expensive alternatives to local natural gas, and certain technical
deficiencies of existing Permitted Tariffs”. The forecast average annual growth in the system demand is about 5%
for MITS and 9.7% for DTS, which drives many of the planned grid station reinforcements over the period from
2020 to 2024. The high growth DTS is due to operation of Salalah Methanol plant and increasing in suppling bulky
customers in 33kV level as well as extending the DTS to supply Saih Al Khairat load (which was supplied by
RAEC previously). To meet security of supply requirements and provide load relief to the loaded grid stations, it
will be necessary to transfer excess load to the new or existing grid stations.
Moreover, RAEC has submitted a connection application dated 25th of December 2014 for the first Wind Farm
Plant to be connected to DTS with 50 MW installed capacity and it was energised in Q3 2019. OPWP has submitted
a connection application dated 20th of November 2017 for the first Solar PV IPP to MITS with a 500 MW installed
capacity in Ibri and it will be in service by peak 2022. In addition, OETC also has received an application from
OPWP regarding the connection of 1000 MW Solar IPP in Manah, which is expected to be in service by peak 2023
for phase 1 and peak 2024 for phase 2. Furthermore, OPWP has proposed a new type of generation plant (Waste to
Energy Plant) which is expected to be in service by peak 2024. Eventually, OPWP has mentioned two wind projects
in their generation plan (2020-2024) with a total capacity of 300 MW in Duqm and JBB Ali (expected to be in
service by peak 2024).
As the demand grows, there is a greater need to extend the transmission system and to establish new 400kV network
as a backbone to transmit the bulk power from power plants. This will reduce the overload at the 220kV and 132kV
networks and subsequently improve voltages and reduce power losses. Consequently, the 220kV will be operated
as a transmission system and the 132kV as a sub-transmission system.
Page | 11
Table 1 shows thirty transmission projects that are planned over the five-year period. Most of the projects are
designed to increase the transmission system capacity. This is a major programme of capital investment that will
be spread across the whole network to improve transmission system performance in northern and southern Oma n.
Power system studies presented in this Statement confirmed that the planned investment in 400kV, 220kV and
132kV grid stations and transmission circuits will provide substantial spare capacity on the transmission systems.
From 2020 to 2024, the fault levels across the transmission system are within the corresponding switchgear short
circuit ratings. The major technical issue identified in the studies was the high short circuit fault levels on the 132kV
busbars at six grid stations in Muscat area from 2020 to 2024. The grid stations are Mobella, Seeb Main, Rusail,
Airport Heights, Mawalleh South and Madinat Sultan Qaboos (MSQ). During the period from 2020 to 2024, OETC
will address this problem in the short–term by splitting the 132kV bus bars or opening some of the 132kV lines at
Muscat region without affecting the security requirements. Therefore, there will be a need for 132kV busbars
splitting to reduce the short circuit level at Seeb Main grid station from 2020 to 2023, Ghala Heights grid station in
2020 and Mawalleh South grid station in 2021 and 2023 due to the network development and reconfiguration works.
In addition, some of the 132kV lines will still be opened to reduce the infeed short circuit contribution and this is a
part of OETC long-term strategy to operate 400kV and 220kV as the main transmission system. The strategy is
implemented with zero cost and risk. There will be no investment required to reduce the fault level as system can
be operated safely and meeting the Transmission Security Standard requirements.
Load flow studies have confirmed that the voltage levels across the transmission system will be maintained within
the limits. The 400kV voltage will be maintained in the system within the allowable limit ±5%. In addition, as
defined in the Grid Code, the 220kV and 132kV will be maintained within ±10% and the 33kV will be maintained
within ±6%. Furthermore, the load flow has presented the issue of overvoltage during the winter peak time due to
the 400kV lines. Accordingly, OETC has initiated a number of projects to install shunt reactors in the 400kV lines
to overcome the overvoltage issue during winter peak time. All shunt reactors at the 400kV circuits have been
installed and working efficiently to absorb the MVAr from the network during the winter and off peak time.
The Statement has reviewed the opportunities for the connection of new generation and new demand and therefore
identified those grid stations with substantial spare capacity where it should be possible to connect new demand to
the system.
Section 2 of the Statement provides an introduction to the document, identifying the main related documentation
and the key changes that have taken place on the transmission system since the previous issue of the Statement.
Section 3 identifies the technical requirements of the Grid Code and the Transmission Licence with specific
attention to system voltage, frequency and security of supply.
Section 4 describes the main engineering standards used by OETC in its planning and design of the transmission
system.
Section 5 describes the existing transmission system and summarises the planned developments in each year over
the period from 2020 to 2024.
Section 6 identifies the existing and planned developments in generation and describes the interconnections both
inside Oman and internationally, i.e. PDO, RAEC and the GCCIA respectively.
Section 7 presents the comparison of demand forecast with the generation capacity available.
Page | 12
Section 8 discusses transmission systems performance and presents the results of load flow and short circuits studies
that show the performance of the transmission system at both peak and off peak demand in each year from 2020 to
2024.
Section 9 identifies the development opportunities for the connection of new demand and new generating plants to
the transmission systems.
Section 10 presents the areas of the network that will be operating above the firm capacity and non-compliance
with Transmission Security Standard in 2020.

2. Introduction
2.1 Licence conditions, Codes and Standards

This Five-Year Annual Transmission Capability Statement covers the period from 2020 to 2024 that is
prepared by the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC). The Statement is prepared in
accordance with the requirements set down under Licence Condition 27 of the Electricity Transmission and
Dispatch Licence granted to the Company on 1st of May 2005 by the Authority of Electricity Regulation,
Oman (AER). The Licence has been granted under the power invested in the Authority by Article (2) of
the Law for the Regulation and Privatisation of the Electricity and Related Water Sector promulgated by
Royal Decree 78/2004.
The purpose of the Statement is to provide up-to-date transmission system data for potential and existing
users of the transmission system so they can identify those parts of the transmission system that offer the
opportunity for future development. The Statement should be updated annually so that existing and new
users of the transmission system are furnished with the latest information.
New users of the transmission system should be aware of the following main documents that influence the
planning and future development of the transmission system infrastructure:
i) The Electricity Transmission and Dispatch Licence granted to OETC by the AER.
ii) The Grid Code for the Sultanate of Oman (PC.4.5).
iii) The approved Transmission Security Standards prepared in accordance with

Condition 26 of OETC’s Transmission and Dispatch Licence, which defines the
requirements for the Security Standards and maintaining of an efficient and economic
Transmission System.
iv) The Statement of Charges for Connection and Use of System to OETC Electricity
Transmission System (Condition 25 of OETC’s Transmission and Dispatch Licence).
2.2 2020 System Development since the 2019-2023 Statement

Since the issue of the previous Capability Statement, covering the period 2019-2023, the following projects
have been or will be completed and energized in time to meet 2020 system peak demand:
1. Security of SIA grid station.
2. 400kV line connections between Sohar Free Zone – Mahadha and Sohar Free Zone – SIS grid
stations.
3. Birkat Al Mouz 132/33kV grid station.
4. Sumail Industrial 132/33kV grid station.
5. Construction of a new 400kV OHL from Sohar Free Zone GS to Shinas GS.
6. Adding third & fourth transformers 132/33kV at Airport Heights grid station.
Page | 24
2.3 Improvements in the preparation of the Statement

Since the issue of the Transmission System Capability Statement for 2019-2023 there have been a number
of improvements in the data and the power system modelling upon which the studies that discussed in the
Statement are based. The most significant of these are:
i. Updating the demand forecast data according to the received information from the DISCOs.
ii. Updating the generation plan according to the received information from the OPWP.
iii. Updating the operational limits of generating units according to the received information
from the OPWP.
iv. Updating the transmission system data for the new projects as per the actual parameters.
v. Updating the new generating units data as per the actual parameters.
vi. Introducing a new 400kV OHL which is part of North-South Interconnector that connects
PDO and RAEC areas.
vii. Introducing results for the losses per voltage level and voltage profile for all grid stations.
viii. Introducing a new section regarding potential generation connection (section 9.3).
ix. Introducing PDO network in OETC system models of the northern part.
x. Modelling of Renewable Energy Resources that includes Solar, Wind and Waste to Energy
plants.
The improvements in the demand forecast and the power system modelling should result in similar
improvements being achieved in the accuracy of the power system studies upon which network
development planning is based.

3. Technical requirements for compliance with the Grid Code and Licence
The Grid Code is designed to permit the development, maintenance and operation of an efficient,
economical and coordinated electricity transmission system. It facilitates competition in the generation and
supply of electricity and promotes the security and efficiency of the system as a whole.
The Transmission Security Standard required the capacity of the Transmission System to transmit
electricity and shall not be reduced in the event that a single electric line, transformer or breaker and/or
associated plant is not in service. The operating voltage of the Transmission System shall be maintained
within the limit specified in the Grid Code and TSS.
In order to comply with Condition 26 of the Electricity Transmission and Dispatch Licence the transmission
system must be planned, designed and operated to provide a secure, efficient and economic supply of
electricity that is of an acceptable quality to its users. Subject as provided in the Grid Code, OETC shall
ensure that the Electricity Transmission System complies with the following technical, design and
operational criteria in relation to the part of the Electricity Transmission System at the Connection Site with
a User (unless otherwise specified in the Grid Code). Although in relation to operational criteria, OETC
may not be able to comply with this obligation to the extent that others parties are not complying with the
Grid Code. Each User shall ensure compliance with the criteria set out in the Grid Code (CC.6.1.5). Whilst
Condition 26 specifically sets out the Security of Supply requirements, the most important characteristics
that determine the quality of supply are frequency and voltage. The requirements for maintaining
transmission system frequency and voltage within specified operating limits are set out in the Grid Code,
and most clearly defined under conditions CC.6.1.1 and CC.6.1.2 respectively of the Connection Conditions
Code.
Grid Code establishes the historic frequency and voltage performances of the transmission system,
specifically in relation to operation at abnormal voltages and frequencies. It considers how future generation
and demand changes may affect transmission system performance in these areas. It establishes the relevant
generation design criteria and standards, and the impacts of operation at abnormal voltages and frequencies
on generating units. It considers whether the current Grid Code frequency and voltage requirements are
appropriate, taking into account of the system security requirements, the capabilities of generating units,
and the industry costs and benefits of implementing them.
For the purposes of the TSS and in respect of frequency and voltage, four conditions are identified for
determining system parameter values, as follows:
 Normal conditions – being conditions that apply on a continuous basis; these are the preferred
conditions of the OETC licensed transmission system
 Disturbed conditions – being conditions in which the voltages are the same as for normal
conditions, but the frequency limits have been changed and include, as a lower limit, the Normal
Infeed Loss Risk frequency limit
 Stretched Conditions – being conditions that have two parts:
Page | 26
 Continuous Stretched Conditions that are not time dependant
 Time limited Stretched Conditions that may only be experienced for no more than sixty
continuous seconds
 Unacceptable Conditions – being conditions that are never allowed in planning, design or operation
Transient frequency deviations that occur outside the limits of continuous operation Stretched Conditions
and last less than sixty seconds shall only occur at reasonably infrequent intervals. This governs all relevant
TSS criteria. Table 2 sets out the required values for the system parameters.

During some system’s disturbances, such as where short circuits occur, the voltage could collapse
transiently to zero at the point of fault until the fault is cleared. Voltage regulation requires both active and
reactive power flows across the transmission system to be carefully controlled. The physical characteristics
of the plant on the transmission system also give rise to the generation and absorption of reactive power.
Reactive power flows across the transmission system can give rise to substantial voltage differences and it
is therefore necessary to maintain reactive power balances between sources of capacity and demand on a
“zone” basis.
Unlike frequency, which is consistent across an interconnected transmission system, voltages at different
points on an interconnected system are determined by the local sources of demand and capacity, by the
prevailing network configuration and the reactive power flows across the network. The management of
voltage requires control of reactive power that can be provided by generation units, transformer tap-
changers, capacitor banks at 33kV or below, shunt reactors, series capacitor or by means of static VAR
compensator (SVC).

3.1 Security of Supply

In accordance with Condition 26 of OETC Transmission and Dispatch Licence, the capacity of the
Transmission System to transmit electricity shall not be reduced in the event that a single electric line,
cable, transformer, circuit breaker and/or associated plant is not in service. During a period of which such
equipment is out of service, the operating voltage of the Transmission System may reduce to any level
specified for such purposes in the Grid Code. In fact, the transmission system should be planned and
operated to meet the Transmission Security Standard requirements. Table 3 from the Transmission Security
Standard document shows Demand Connections, Demand Class definition and supply restoration times.
The table illustrates and explains boundaries of each demand classes and the security level requirements
during the outage for restricted and a maintenance period.

4. OETC System Design and Planning Standards
In addition to the technical requirements of the Transmission Licence and the Grid Code, the principal
electrical standards used by OETC in its planning and design of the 400kV, 220kV and 132kV transmission
systems are:
4.1 Oman Electrical Standard OES 11

The standard covers the topic “General Specifications for Electrical Materials and Equipment” and defines
the worst-case conditions for system design purposes by the following parameters:
a) Maximum ambient temperature (50˚C)

b) Maximum surface temperature for metal surfaces (80˚C)
c) altitude (between sea level and 300 metres above sea level)
d) Maximum wind velocity (125km per hour)
e) Average annual rainfall (117mm)
f) Maximum relative humidity (100%)
The standard also defines the design parameters for the 132kV systems in terms of highest voltage, design
fault level and the requirement that the system be solidly earthed. Currently it does not specify
corresponding figures for the 400kV and 220kV systems where OETC has developed its own technical
standards for 220kV and 400kV systems based on best practice and international standards.
4.2 Oman Electrical Standard OES 25A and 25B

These standards define the requirements for Aluminium conductor steel reinforced and Aluminium alloy
conductor overhead lines and Aluminium alloy stranded conductor overhead lines.

Volume 1 of the standard covers the design requirements for a 132/33kV, 2x125 MVA substation with
132kV gas insulated switchgear, including the 33kV switchgear. Volume 2 covers similar requirements
for the 132/33kV, 2x63 MVA substation with 132kV outdoor SF6 switchgear.

The standard covers the design requirements for 132kV double circuit overhead transmission lines with
400mm2 All Aluminium Alloy Twin-Yew Conductors (AAAC) on lattice steel towers that are deployed
across much of the 132kV transmission system.
4.5 OETC Standard Specifications

In cases where an Oman Electrical Standard is not applicable it is usual OETC practice to adopt the
appropriate related standards. This applies to the design of the 400kV, 220kV and 132kV transmission
systems. The internal OETC standard specifications include all others design requirements that are currently
not exist in above Oman Electrical Standard.
Page | 29
The standard covers the operation parameters of outdoor transmission assets and defines the worst-case
conditions for system design purposes by the following:
a) Average Minimum ambient temperature 12º C

5. OETC Transmission System
5.1 Existing Transmission System

The Oman Electricity Transmission Company is authorized to undertake all regulated activities of
electricity transmission and dispatch in northern Oman and Dhofar at voltages of 132kV and above. The
existing transmission system in northern Oman has three operating voltages, i.e. 400kV, 220kV and 132kV
while in Dhofar it has only one operating voltage which is 132kV. The existing transmission system extends
across the whole north of Oman and interconnects bulk consumers and generators of electricity located in
the Governorates of Muscat, Batinah South, Batinah North, Dhahirah, Buraimi, Dakhliyah, Sharquiya
South and Sharqiya North.
The transmission system was first established under the Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW) in 1983
and underwent rapid expansion during the 1990s. Consequently, most of it has less than 15 years of service
experience. After the electrical sector was unbundled, the OETC took over the operation of the MITS on
1st of May 2005 and Dhofar Transmission System on 1st of January 2014.
Figure 2 to Figure 5 show the OETC transmission system at MITS by the end of 2019 while Figure 6 shows
the transmission system at Dhofar.

OETC transmission system at MITS is interconnected with the transmission system of GCCIA Grid through
UAE (Transco Abu Dhabi) at Mahadha (Al Wasit) grid station through 220kV system. The interconnection
links the electricity supply systems of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE and Oman. This should
increase the security of supply and benefits to the members’ countries in the form of cost savings from the
sharing of reserve capacity and energy resources. The 220kV interconnector between OETC and GCCIA
has been energized and brought into service on 14th of November 2011. Oman has signed officially the
agreement with the GCCIA in November 2014 and became a member of GCCIA Grid.
The OETC transmission system at MITS is also interconnected with the Sohar Aluminium system at 220kV
via a double circuit cable that run between SPS-1 on the OETC system and Sohar Aluminium 220kV busbar.
The import or export schedule will vary on a yearly basis as per OPWP and Sohar Aluminium Company
agreement and this can reach up to 300MW.
The OETC transmission system at MITS is also interconnected with the PDO transmission network at
132kV via a single circuit overhead line that runs between Nizwa on the OETC system and Nahadah on the
PDO system. This single circuit is owned, operated and maintained by PDO. In addition, OETC
transmission system at Dhofar is also interconnected with the PDO transmission network at 132kV via a
single circuit overhead line that runs between Dhofar Wind Farm at OETC system and Harweel at PDO
system. This single circuit is owned, operated and maintained by OETC. Under normal conditions, the
power transfer across the PDO interconnection is forecasted to be negligible, but in the event of an
emergency on either network, the interconnection can facilitate a power transfer to address the shortfall.

The transmission system at MITS area is supplied with electricity generated from eleven gas-based power
stations located at Rusail IPP, Manah IPP, Al Kamil IPP, Barka I Power & Desalination Plant (ACWA),
Barka II IPP (SMN), Barka III IPP, Sohar I Power & Desalination Plant, Sohar II IPP, Sohar III IPP, Sur
IPP and Ibri IPP. In addition, the transmission system may be supplied from direct customers, such as Sohar
Aluminium. The transmission system at Dhofar area is supplied with electricity generated from three gas-
based power stations located at NPS, Salalah Power & Desalination Plant and Salalah II IPP and new wind
farm located at Harweel area with a capacity of 50MW.
Four Distribution and Supply License holders, i.e. Muscat Electricity Distribution Company (MEDC),
Mazoon Electricity Company (MZEC), Majan Electricity Company (MJEC) and Dhofar Power Company
(DPC), take the bulk of the power transmitted through the main grid stations to supply the Distribution
system. In the near future, OETC will also transmit the power to RAEC in order to supply some of their
areas.
In addition to the four Distribution Companies, large private customers are directly connected to the
transmission system. The existing private customers with 220kV Connections are as shown in Figure 7
while Figure 8 shows the customers with 132kV Connections.

6.4 Non-Contracted Generating Capacity

There are a number of private industrial customers that are directly connected to the transmission system
and they are either operating or planning to operate their own on-site generation. The largest generating
plant among these is Sohar Aluminium, which may export up to 300 MW during the summer period and
import the same during the winter time. The interconnected system and the private customer generating
plants can be made available with the customer’s agreement to support the contracted generation under
emergency conditions in order to avoid power cuts in northern Oman. These generators are termed as “non-
contracted” generating plants. Table 6 shows the non-contracted generating capacity for the period from
2020 to 2024.

6.5 Interconnections
6.5.1 Interconnection with the GCCIA Grid through UAE (Transco Abu Dhabi)
The 220kV transmission interconnection with the United Arab Emirates (Transco Abu Dhabi) was
completed in the first quarter of 2007. The interconnection connects Mahadha grid station in Oman
(Al Wasit) to Al oha grid station in Al Ain in the UAE. In the longer term, the principal technical benefit
to be obtained from connecting Oman to the GCCIA Grid is in the reduction of spinning reserve
requirement, which will be shared between the members of the GCCIA Grid and will help to reduce the
installed capacity from the generation. However, operation of the interconnection will allow Oman to
import/export power from the GCCIA Grid to meet any potential generation shortfall. Oman has signed
officially the agreement with the GCCIA in November 2014 and became a part of the state members.
6.5.2 Interconnection with PDO
OETC transmission system is interconnected with the transmission system of the Petroleum Development
Oman (PDO), which provides electricity to its concession areas across the central region of Oman for the
purpose of oil exploration and development. The interconnection is made at 132kV between Nizwa grid
station on the MIS and Nahadah 132kV station on the PDO 132kV network by 67 km overhead line. The
overhead line is owned by PDO. Under normal conditions, the power transfer between the two networks
is allowed to float around zero MW, with power transfers balanced out over a period.
In addition, Dhofar transmission system is interconnected with the transmission system of the PDO. The
interconnection is made at 132kV between Thumrait grid station on the Dhofar system, Dhofar Wind Farm
and Harweel 132kV grid station on the PDO network (132kV OHL Thurmrait-Wind Farm 76.5 km &
132kV OHL Wind Farm-Harweel 30 km). The interconnection essentially allows OETC and PDO to supply
limited power to each other in emergency conditions on either system.
OETC has received a new connection application from PDO on 3rd of July 2018. OETC has studied the
connection application and it was found that a new 400kV injection point at Nahadah 132kV station via
LILO the existing Ibri – New Izki 400kV OHL is the preferred option. In addition, there will be two new
injection points in PDO system at Barik and Suwaihat. Having new interconnection points via the 400kV
system between OETC and PDO will enhance the security of supply of both networks as well as maximizing
other benefits such as capacity saving and reducing the spinning reserve etc.
6.5.3 400kV North-South Interconnection
The feasibility study for the 400kV North to South Interconnection was completed by mid of 2018. The
objective of this project is to assess the technical and economic feasibility of a new 400kV interconnection
between MIS-PDO-Dhofar and the isolated region of Duqm. This study has assessed different options and
highlighted the benefits of this project. The feasibility study has concluded that the interconnection project
has a positive economic Net Present Value (NPV) considering all main objectives that were identified by
Page | 60
OETC, OPWP, PDO and RAEC. The expected benefits include fuel savings due to improved dispatch
coordination among the power systems, access to areas with renewable energy potential, sharing of spinning
reserves (reducing operating costs), and improved grid security.
RAEC has submitted two connection applications on 6th of January 2019 for constructing two grid stations
at Mahout and Duqm. Further, PDO has submitted two connection applications for Barik and Suwaihat on
12th of June 2019 requesting for 500 MW export and import power at each grid station. In addition, the new
400kV interconnection project will facilitate the connection to PDO system, Duqm and Mahout Systems
and currently the project is in the design stage. The execution of the project will be in two phases: the first
phase will include constructing Suwaihat, Duqm and Mahout grid stations in order to displace the diesel
generation in Duqm and Mahout areas by Q2 2023. The second phase will be completing the 400kV
backbone from Nahadah to Barik and Suwaihat grid stations and the expected completion date will be end
of Q4 2024.
6.6 Economic Dispatch

The Load Dispatch Centre (LDC) of OETC dispatches generation based on its availability as stated by the
Generator on a day-ahead basis, and its price is as listed by the Oman Power and Water Procurement
Company (OPWP). Under circumstances where the system frequency is seen to stray outside the specified
limits, LDC will issue dispatch instructions to Generators based on Merit Order to rectify the situation.
6.7 Spinning Reserve

The new spinning reserve mechanism has been approved by AER in Price Control-5. The target spinning
reserve is 250MW with 130MW up margin. Therefore, Load Dispatch Centre has to maintain the acceptable
spinning reserve which is between 250 MW to 380 MW. OETC has to be in the acceptable range for 67%
of total hours of the year in order to maintain compliance with AER mechanism.
Page | 61
7. Demand Forecast and Generation Availability
7.1 System Demand

Maximum demand usually occurs on the OETC transmission system on weekdays in the summer months
(May, June or July), during a period of particularly high temperature and humidity. The growth in air
conditioning equipment in domestic and commercial premises in Oman has ensured that peak demand
usually occurs during the early morning or afternoon. Figure 22 and Figure 23 show the 24-hour demand
profile for the transmission system on the day of the 2019 system gross peak demand (i.e. 30/06/2019 MIS
System and 14/06/2019 Dhofar System). The 2019 MIS system gross peak demand of 6539.75 MW was
recorded at 14:55 hours and 2019 Dhofar system gross peak demand of 594.48 MW was recorded at 04:04
hours by OETC Load Dispatch Centre. The historic growth in system gross peak demand over the period
(2003-2019) is shown in Table 8.

Minimum demand generally occurs on the transmission system during night-time in winter months
(December/January) when electricity consumption in all major load categories is reduced. In 2019, the MIS
system minimum demand was 1735.57 MW and this occurred on 27/12/2019 at 03:40 AM while 2019
Dhofar system minimum demand was 216.7 MW and this occurred on 12/01/2019 at 07:30 AM. The 2019
system minimum demand at MIS system was about 26.54% and at Dhofar system was about 36.45% of the
2019 system peak demand. The 24-hour profile for the day of minimum demand is shown in Figure 24 and
Figure 25 for the MIS and Dhofar system respectively.

7.2 Demand Forecast

Under clause 3 of Condition 27 of OETC Transmission and Dispatch Licence it is stated that:
“The Licensee shall, when preparing the Capability Statement ensure that the forecasts of electricity flows
and loading on each part of the Transmission System are consistent with the prevailing electricity demand
forecasts prepared and used by the OPWP for the purposes of the Statement of future capacity requirements
required by Condition 5 of the OPWP licence”.
The OPWP demand forecast is based on data supplied to them by the four Distribution Companies (i.e.
MEDC, MZEC, MJEC and DPC) and RAEC which also includes demand forecasts for the major customers
that are, or will be, directly connected to OETC transmission system at either 220kV or 132kV in their
respective supply areas. In addition, Distribution Companies have provided demand forecast data to OETC
taking into account the individual load at each supply connection points. The Distribution Companies
forecast is provided in terms of:
a) The growth in major industrial loads
b) The growth in major tourism loads
c) The annual domestic growth
d) The growth in major commercial loads
The supplied forecast to OPWP relates to the total for all Distribution Companies and RAEC and do not
indicate how this load is allocated to the individual grid supply points. The forecast data provided to OPWP
includes major future connections and the cumulative increase in load over the seven-year period covered
by the OPWP Statement. OPWP has then reviewed this data and taken a view on the probability that the
individual schemes will proceed and if so, the rate at which it’s load will develop. The outcome of this
review is presented as OPWP demand forecast in it’s Seven-Year Statement.
The OPWP demand forecast was therefore taken as the starting point for developing the demand forecast
presented in this OETC Capability Statement. The OETC forecast, however, is required to identify the
future demand at individual grid station at the system peak for each year over the period 2020 to 2024, since
this information is required for the system studies.
Analysis of the demand forecast data (Expected Case) submitted by OPWP identified basic annual
percentage rates of 4.4% for the growth in peak demand in the MZEC, MEDC ,MJEC and RAEC supply
areas and 6.9% for the growth in peak demand in the DPC supply area. It should be noted that the peak
growth forecast provided by OPWP is also including the estimated transmission losses (2%) whilst, OETC
peak growth forecast does not include the transmission losses, but it is calculated in an annual basis based
on the simulations system studies. These rates have been applied to the grid station demands in the
respective supply areas as noted by the OETC Load Dispatch Centre at the 2019 MIS system peak (i.e.
30/06/2019, 14:55 hour) and 2019 Dhofar system peak (i.e.14/06/2019, 04:04 hour). The demand associated
Page | 66
with major industrial and tourism projects as assessed by OPWP (with diversity taken into account) was
then superimposed on to the steady growth in the basic demand to produce a basic forecast. Peak demand
is expected to grow at a lower rate than energy demand due to the introduction of Cost-Reflective Tariffs
(CRT) for large commercial, government, and industrial consumers in 2017. The CRT is time-
differentiated, where the tariff is more representative of the actual cost of supply at the different periods
during the year, noting higher costs during peak and summer periods, and lower costs during off-peak and
winter periods. Some large customers are expected to shift their demand in response to the new tariff.
Section 5 of this Statement has identified a number of new grid supply points that are scheduled to come
into service to meet the summer peak demands from 2020 onwards. These gird stations will provide a load
relief to the most heavily loaded grid stations and in some cases supply new loads.
The Distribution Companies’ plans for load transfers from existing grid stations that are heavily loaded to
new grid stations are one of the most important elements of the demand forecast. Table 9 summarises the
load transfers adopted in the studies based on consideration of what is required and what OETC has
considered viable. However, OETC acknowledges that this aspect of the forecast needs to be improved in
future and believes that it would be helpful if Distribution Companies were to give greater consideration to
feasible load transfers when planning their distribution networks, and to develop proposals for load transfers
in coordination with OETC. In addition, the TSS requirement shall be considered at every grid supply point
and all new requirements shall be indicated clearly.

7.3 System Maximum Net Demand Forecast and Generation Availability

Table 10 shows the grid stations demand forecast for the period 2020–2024 with prospective load transfers
taken into account and the forecast developed in accordance with the methodology described in sub-section
7.2. The introduction of Cost-Reflective Tariffs (CRT) for large commercial, government, and industrial
consumers in 2017 has forced some large customers to manage their demand consumption by either
reducing it or switching off their load during the peak-hours periods in response to the new tariff as shown
in Table 10.

8. Transmission System Performance
8.1 Power Flow and Voltage Profiles
The transmission system data used in the power system studies to determine the system performance over
the period from 2020 to 2024 is presented in Appendix B of this document.
8.1.1 Power Flow and Voltage Profiles of MITS and DTS

The extreme cases of maximum (summer) and minimum (winter) system demand are used to define the
performance of OETC transmission system when it is most heavily stressed. From the studies of these
extreme conditions, it is possible to identify where the system is strong and has spare capacity and
conversely where it is weak and will need strengthening before new connections could be considered. The
peak demand case identifies where there is a risk of overloading, of operation above firm capacity, or of
system voltages falling below the voltage limits as defined in the Grid Code and TSS.
The system data described and presented in Appendix B has been used in a series of load flow studies to
establish the performance of OETC transmission system at peak demand in each year from 2020 to 2024
inclusive. The studies were undertaken on the basis that all circuits and plants will be available at system
peak in each of the five years and that the system will be developed in accordance with the plans described
in Section 5 of the Statement. The studies also assume that the demand will grow in accordance with the
demand forecast and that sufficient generation will be available from both Contracted and Non-Contracted
power producers to meet each annual system peak as indicated in OPWP 7 Year Statement.
Table 13 shows a summary of the power plants forecasted to be in service at peak load in each year of the
study from 2020 to 2024 at MITS and DTS. Under peak load condition, it is assumed that reactive power
support will be switched on by DISCOs, i.e. capacitor banks at 33kV grid stations and properly adjusted to
provide required reactive power and voltage support. In the load flow studies, generators terminal voltage
and generator-transformer taps are normally set at their corresponding nominal values, however, when
necessary the settings are adjusted to control the voltage on the transmission system to be within the
allowable limits.
A second series of load flow studies were undertaken with the transmission system supplying minimum
demand. The minimum demand case identifies where there is a risk of the busbar voltages rising above the
voltage limits defined in the Grid Code and TSS and where additional generation has to be operated to
absorb excess reactive power. However, several shunt reactors will be in operation to absorb excessive
amount of reactive power that been generated by the lightly loaded 400kV lines at MITS. Also, it should
be noted that the 400kV shunt reactors are only operated during the winter period except summer 2023 due
to the introduction of the 400kV OHL Suwaihat – Duqm – Mahout. At the system minimum demand, the
generation is reduced to a level that provides the necessary margin of reserve capacity that is consistent
with the operational practices adopted by OETC to handle minimum load condition.
Table 14 shows the power plants forecasted to be in service at minimum load in each year of the study at
MITS and DTS. Under minimum load condition, it is assumed that all capacitor banks at 33kV system are
switched out by DISCOs to avoid overvoltage due to excessive reactive power.

Five-Year Annual Transmission Capability Statement (2020-2024)
The key results of the load flow and fault level studies on OETC transmission system are presented in detail
in Appendix C for each year over the period from 2020 to 2024. System diagrams from C.1 to C.10 show
the results of the peak demand for MIS and Dhofar System. Load flows have been produced and are
available for both MIS and Dhofar System in Appendix C.
The results for MIS and Dhofar System include the following:
 Table C.1 shows the transformer percentage loading of all grid stations at system peak demand.
 Table C.2 shows the available spare capacity at each grid station in relation to firm capacity at system
peak demand. It should be noted that although spare MVA capacities are available at some individua l
grid stations, there is no guarantee that all can be exploited simultaneously. Lack of available
generation and/or voltage level limits may restrict simultaneous utilization of all spare MVA capacities.
 Table C.3 shows the percentage loading of each overhead line and underground cable in the
transmission system at system peak demand.
 Tables C.4 and C.5 show the voltage profile at each 400kV, 220kV, 132kV and 33kV bus-bar at
maximum and minimum load respectively.
 Table C.6 shows the calculated transmission losses and generation margin at peak demand.
 Tables C.7 and C.8 show the maximum three-phase and single-phase to earth short circuit currents
respectively.
The principal findings from the power system studies are:
 Grid Stations Firm Capacities of MITS

a) All 400/220kV, 400/132kV and 400/33kV grid stations developed during 2020 to 2024 will have
sufficient capacities as indicated in Table C.1. Moreover, these grid stations will have appreciable
amount of spare transformer capacities during the same period as indicated in Table C.2 and for future
needs.
b) All 220/132kV grid stations have adequate amounts of spare capacity available over the period from
2020 to 2024 to cope with growth in demand except one 220/132kV grid station in 2022 as indicated
in Tables C.1 and C.2. The three new 220/132kV grid stations that will be commissioned over the
period 2020-2024 at KIS, Misfah and Nizwa with addition of one 220/132kV transformer in Airport
Heights will substantially increase the amount of grid transformer capacity connected to the
transmission system to facilitate further development of the transmission system.
c) Some of the 132/33kV grid stations show a lack of capacity from 2020 to 2023. For example, at the
summer peak of 2020, six grid stations will operate above their firm capacity. At the summer peak of
2021, three grid stations will operate above their firm capacity. During 2020 to 2024, a number of
132/33kV grid stations will be upgraded and new ones will be introduced to remove none-firm
Page | 80
conditions at some locations. The number will decrease to one 132/33kV at the summer peak of 2022
and 2023.
d) The numbers of out-of-firm 132/33kV grid stations during the period 2020 to 2024 are as follows. The
same is also shown graphically in Figure 26
 2020 – 6
 2021 – 3
 2022 – 1
 2023 – 1
 2024 – 0
e) In the summer peak of 2020, there is one transformer temporarily supplying their individual loads in
order to mitigate over firm issues and provide additional capacity at Barka Main 132/33kV grid station.
From 2022, there will be no transformer operating individually
f) Two 132kV overhead transmission lines and underground cables are exceeding their corresponding
firm capacity in 2020 and four in 2022.
g) All 220kV overhead transmission lines and underground cables are within their corresponding firm
capacity over the years 2020 to 2024 except one 220kV OHL will be exceeding its corresponding firm
capacity in 2020 and 2022.
h) All 400kV overhead transmission lines and underground cables are well within their corresponding
firm capacity over the years 2020 to 2024.
i) Implementation of the development projects described in Section 5 and the updated load transfer
programme of Table 9 will restore the full system to be in compliance with Transmission Security
Standard requirements.
 Grid Stations Firm Capacities of Dhofar Transmission System

a) During next five years from 2020-2024, all 132/33kV grid stations will be within the firm
capacity. Upgrading Thumrait 132/33kV grid station will add a new capacity to the network in
2021 peak. Construction of Mirbat grid station in 2021 will relief the loading issue at Shaha'aon
grid station and reserve new capacity for any bulk customer will be connected the system in
future. In addition, OETC will introduce new connection with RAEC by 2023 at Saih Al Khairat
grid station that will be connected to DTS.
b) The numbers of out-of-firm 132/33kV grid stations during the period 2020 to 2024 are nil.
c) All 132kV overhead lines and underground cables are within their corresponding firm capacity
over the period 2020-2024.
d) Implementation of the development projects described in Section 5 and the updated load transfer
programme of Table 9 will restore the full system to comply with Transmission System Security
Standard requirements.

 Voltage Profile of MITS

a) The voltage at the 400kV busbars will be maintained within the ±5% voltage limit at the extremes
of maximum and minimum demands during the study period. In addition, some busbars in 2020
were close to reach the upper limit (1.05p.u), the reason behind that is to improve the voltage at
some 132kV busbars.
b) The voltage at the 220kV and 132kV busbars will be maintained within the ±10% voltage limit
at the extremes of maximum and minimum demands during years 2020-2024.
c) The 33kV busbar voltages at all grid stations will be maintained within ±6 % of nominal voltage
during these extreme load conditions of maximum and minimum demands, i.e. all 33kV busbars
will be within the acceptable operating range specified in the Grid Code and TSS. In fact, the
voltage at 33kV busbars is well regulated to be within around 1.0 p.u. in all cases by exploiting
the automatic on-load tap-changer of the 132/33kV transformers.
d) Figure 27& Figure 28 show the peak and off peak voltage profiles at 400kV, 220kV, 132kV and
33kV grid stations in 2020 and 2024 respectively.
- In peak 2020 and 2024, the figures show that the maximum voltage at some 400kV busbars
will reach 1.04 pu which is close to the limit of + 5% because of the connection of the busbar
closer to the generation. So, it will be required to increase the voltage at these 400kV busbars
to improve voltage at far 132kV busbars in the system.
- In off peak 2020 and 2024, the voltage profile for all voltage levels will be close to 1.00 p.u
due to low reactive power consumption of loads. The reactive power will be controlled via
shunt reactors, hence the voltage will be operated within the limit.
Page | 82
e) The voltage at 220kV and 132kV busbars is maintained within the allowable range (depending
on the load), whereas the voltage at the grid supply points is well regulated at almost 33kV (1.0
p.u.).
 Voltage Profile of DTS

a) The voltage at the 132kV busbars will be maintained within the ±10 % voltage limit at the extremes
of maximum and minimum demands during years 2020-2024.
b) The 33kV busbar voltages at all grid stations will be maintained within ±6 % of nominal voltage
during these extreme load conditions of maximum and minimum demands, i.e. all 33kV busbars
will be within the acceptable operating range specified in the Grid Code and TSS. In fact, the
voltage at 33kV busbars is well regulated to be within around 1.0 p.u. in all cases by exploiting
the automatic on-load tap-changer of the 132/33kV transformers.
c) Figure 29 and Figure 30 show voltage profiles at DTS for both Peak and Off-Peak from 2020 to
2024. All grid stations have two voltage levels: 132kV and 33kV. Although the voltage at 132kV
busbars can change within the allowable range depending on the load, the voltage at the grid
supply points is well regulated at almost 33kV (1.0 p.u.).

 Transmission Losses of MITS

The active power losses on the MITS for different voltage level has been calculated at peak demand
over the period from 2020 to 2024. The losses percentage at 400kV level ranges between 0.44% and
0.72%. At 220kV level the losses percentage ranges between 0.52% and 0.64% and for 132kV level
it ranges between 0.71% and 0.97% of respective total generation as shown in Table C.6 and Figure
31. The total average power loss is about 1.96%, which is well within international norms. The increase
in the losses percentage is due to the retirement of power plants such as Rusail IPP, Al Kamil IPP,
Barka I IPP and Sohar IPP in 2022. Consequently, the power will be transmitted over long distance to
the load centre. In 2024, the losses will be decreased due to introduction of 400kV reinforcements in
the system. The transmission losses are higher in 132kV level comparing to 220kV and 400kV.

The calculated active power losses percentage on Dhofar Transmission System at peak demand over
the period from 2020 to 2024 ranges between 0.37% and 0.55% of respective total generation as shown
in Table C.6 and Figure 32. The average power losses percentage is about 0.46%, which is still within
international norms. The increase in the losses percentage in 2023 is due to the long 132kV OHL to
connect new Saih Al Khairat grid station.

 Load Growth of MITS

The high growth rate of the existing load coupled with major new industrial developments in many
areas and major tourism projects around the coast to the east and west of Muscat presents a major
challenge to OETC in providing the capacity needed to satisfy demand over the next five years. Table
C.6 shows the expected gross peak load increases from 6852.7 MW in 2020 to 8287.9 MW in 2024,
which represents an increase of about 20.94 % during the study period. Figure 33 shows the expected
peak load growth from 2020 to 2024. This peak load includes grid stations, industrial, auxiliaries ’
desalination loads and transmission losses.
 Load Growth of DTS

The high growth rate of the existing load coupled with major new industrial developments in many
areas and major tourism projects around the coast of Dhofar presents a major challenge to OETC in
providing the capacity needed to satisfy demand over the next five years. Table C.6 shows that the
expected gross peak load increases from 646.39 MW in 2020 to 942.60 MW in 2024, which represents
an increase of about 45.83% during the study period. Figure 34 shows the expected peak load growth
from 2020 to 2024. This peak load includes grid stations, industrial, auxiliaries’ desalination loads and
transmission losses.

The load flow studies show that the planned 400kV, 220kV and 132kV transmission developments will add
substantial new capacity to the transmission system that will enable the transmission system as a whole to
cope with new demand in compliance with the Transmission Security Standard. Consequently,
opportunities for the connection of new load should be available where spare capacity exists.

8.2 Fault levels for MIS and Dhofar System

The maximum 3-Phase and Single-Phase short circuit currents have been determined in accordance with
IEC 60909 and as such the calculation excludes the contribution to fault level from sources at lower
voltages, e.g. from induction motors connected at 11kV or below. The method is valid and consistent with
that followed by other transmission companies in the absence of data from the Distribution Companies for
short circuit back-feeds to the grid station 33kV busbars.
a) Three-Phase Short Circuit Studies

Table C.7 summarises the results of the 3-phase fault studies over the period 2020-2024 for both systems
MIS and Dhofar System:
 All of the 400kV busbars have fault levels well within the corresponding switchgear ratings.
 All of the 220kV busbars have fault levels within the corresponding switchgear ratings.
b) Single-Phase Short Circuit Studies

Table C.8 summarises the results of maximum single-phase short circuit studies for both systems MIS and
Dhofar System for years from 2020 to 2024. In the years from 2020 to 2024, the fault levels across the
transmission system are within the corresponding switchgear short circuit ratings.
Only for MIS system, the major technical issue identified in the studies was the high short circuit fault
levels on the 132kV busbars at six grid stations in Muscat area from 2020 to 2024. The grid stations are
Mobella, Seeb Main, Rusail, Airport Heights Mawalleh South and Madinat Sultan Qaboos (MSQ). In
addition, Bousher grid station will experience high short circuit fault level from 2021 to 2024, Wadi Adai
grid station in 2021, 2023 and 2024. Also high short circuit fault will appear in Rusail Industrial and Al
Jefnen grid station in 2023 and 2024 due to Power 2022. During 2020 and 2024, OETC has taken
appropriate remedial action to address this problem by splitting the 132kV busbars or opening some of
132kV lines at Muscat governorate without affecting the security requirements. The studies show that there
will be a need for busbars splitting at Seeb Main grid station from 2020 to 2023, Ghala Heights grid station
in 2020 and Mawalleh South grid station in 2021 and 2023 due to the network development and
reconfiguration works. However, some of 132kV lines will be kept open to reduce the infeed short circuit
contribution and this is a part of OETC long-term strategy to operate 400kV and 220kV as the main
transmission system. The strategy is implemented with zero cost. There will be no investment required to
reduce the fault level as system can be operated safely and meeting the Transmission Security Standard
requirements. Those 132kV lines are Wadi Adai-Misfah in 2020-2021, Airport Height-Mawalleh South in
2020 and 2024, Ghala-Ghala Heights in 2021, Ghala-Airport Height in 2022 and Bousher-Ghala Height
from 2023 to 2024. An alternative solution has been studied by installing Short Circuit limiters, however
this solution is considered to be expensive compering to the implemented solution.

9. Development Opportunities
From the results of the load flow and fault level studies, and from analysis of the magnitude and location s
of generation and demand on the transmission system it is possible to give some indications as to where
future generation and demand can be connected to the transmission system without causing any critical
technical issues.
9.1 Review of the Generation Versus Load Balance on an Area Basis

The performance of the transmission system is affected by the transfer of power, both real and reactive,
from one region to another. Large power transfers between regions over long distances increase the voltage
drop across the transmission system. They also increase the power losses and reduce the efficiency of the
system. Ideally, if the balance between generation and demand is maintained on a regional or area basis
then power transfers over long distances can be minimised, thus leading to improvement of the transmission
system efficiency and voltage regulation.
Figure 35 shows the future connectivity of Oman electrical systems with introduction of proposed North-
South Interconnector which will connect MIS with PDO, Duqm, Mahout and Dhofar systems. The future
integrated system extends over the northern regions of Oman, from Madinat Shinas grid station to the south
reaching Mirbat grid station with direct distance of 875km. To assess how generation and load are
distributed over the transmission system the whole supply area has been split into nine geographic areas:
a) Muscat
b) Al Batinah South
c) Al Batinah North
d) Al Buraimi
e) Al Dhahirah
f) Al Dakhiliah
g) Al Sharqiyah
h) Al Wusta
i) Dhofar

Figure 36 to Figure 44 show graphically the generation and load in each of the nine areas. The significant
differences in generation and load imbalance in areas such as Muscat, Al Batinah North, Al Dhahirah and
Al Sharqiyah necessitate high development and investment in the transmission system to facilitate power
transfer among the different areas in order to supply the growing loads.
Muscat area, although geographically the smallest area, is by far the most heavily populated, with the
highest demand (2626.5 MW in 2020, rising to 3193.1 MW in 2024) and with a limited amount of connected
generation (693.5 MW in 2020 and will be retired by end of 2021). This will result in power deficits of
1933 MW in 2020 and 3193.1 MW in 2024. Muscat area has one power plant; Rusail IPP (693.5 MW in
2020 and will be retired by end of 2021). In addition Power 2022 proposed to be in Muscat (600 MW from
2022 to 2024). As observed from Figure 36, there is a high gap between the installed generation capacity
and load in Muscat area and it will keep increasing if no new generation is installed in Muscat area. This
situation will have significant adverse impacts on the system operation performance and security. These
impacts are reflected in a massive power been imported from the far generation such as Sur, Ibri and Barka
to supply Muscat load, which has resulted in an increase of transmission power losses. Moreover, the
absence of sufficient generation capacity in Muscat area has led to a shortage of the reactive power support,
which may lead OETC to invest in expensive reactive power compensations to overcome this issue and
maintain the voltage system stability. Furthermore, in order to secure the power supply in Muscat area,
OETC has to reinforce and extend the 400kV and 220kV transmission systems, which has high cost
implication. Therefore, there is a high need to plan the new generation to be located in Muscat vicinity.

Al Batinah South area covers the coastal strip between Barka on the western outskirts of the Muscat area
and Sohar. This area is likely to develop as Muscat, since the main road link between Muscat and Sohar
runs through it. Currently, there are three power plants in Al Batiniah South; Barka Phase-I (397.5 MW and
it is planned to be retired by end of 2021), Barka Phase-II (688.5 MW and it is planned to be retired by end
of 2023) and Barka Phase-III (765.5 MW).Further, Waste to Energy plant and Power 2024 will be
introduced in 2024 (100 MW and 700 MW respectively). As shown in Table 15, the load in this area rises
from 1014.2 MW in 2020 to 1203.4 MW in 2024. The power surplus is 837.3 MW in the summer peak of
2020 and 362.1 MW in the summer peak of 2024.

Al Batinah North area is rapidly developing around the new port at Sohar with new industries seeking
connections to the OETC transmission system or the distribution system of Majan Electricity Company.
Some of the largest industrial customers in the area, such as Sohar Aluminium Company operates their own
generating plant and on occasions supply power to the transmission system on a non-contracted basis. The
load in Al Batinah North area significantly increases from 1137 MW in 2020 to 1360.2 MW in 2024, as
shown in Table 15. Al Batinah North area has three power plants; Sohar-I (566 MW and it is planned to be
retired by end of 2021), Sohar-II (with total 765.5 MW power during the period 2020-2024) and Sohar-III
IPP with a power capacity of 1743.1 MW. In 2020, the generation surplus in this area will be 1937.6 MW
and will decrease to 1145 MW in 2024 due to the retirement of Sohar-I power plant.

The transmission system in the Al Buraimi area provides interconnection with the GCCIA through UAE
(Abu Dhabi Transco) supplies a number of grid stations that feed Majan Distribution System. This area has
no generation and depends on the transmission interconnections with Al Batinah North and Al Dhahirah
regions to supply its loads. The load in Al Buraimi area increases from 177.2 MW in 2020 to 208.6 MW in
2024, as shown in Table 15. The deficiency in generation rises from 177.2 MW in 2020 to 208.6 MW in
2024.

9.2 Available grid station capacity

Table C.2 in Appendix C identifies the available capacity at the grid stations for the connection of new
demand over the period 2020 to 2024. Table 16, lists the grid stations where spare grid transformer capacity
of more than 10 MVA is available to supply new demand, on the same area basis as that presented in sub-
section 9.1. The MVA figures quoted refer to the available capacity in 2024. The available capacity was
determined in relation to the firm capacity of the substation. Figure 45 to Figure 54 show graphical
representation of available capacities.

9.3 Potential Generation Connections

This section aims to provide an overview of the potential generation connections to the main grid for Power
2024. In OPWP’s Seven Years Statement, generation plans are provided in terms of installed capacities,
preferred generation technology, areas of potential generation and expected completion time. OETC as
Transmission Operator is providing nominated generation connections from grid point of view, taken into
consideration the generation output power, voltage level of generation connection, required assets for
connection or system reinforcement and technical and financial ranking of generation points. Each
generation connection point will be evaluated technically in terms of grid losses, loading issues, short circuit
violations and location from Muscat load centre. Further, the financial evaluation includes ranking in terms
of cost of connection or system reinforcement required to evacuate the generation point.
For power 2024, five potential sites has been considered: Misfah, Barka, Ghubrah, Sohar,Manah and Al
Kamil. Misfah site was recommended for power 2022, however OPWP has postponed the project. This
investment would require constructing 220kV GIS, diversion of Misfah - Wadi Adai 132kV UGC in Misfah
generation location, diversion of Misfah - MSQ 220kV OHL to 220kV UGC in Misfah generation location
and LILO 220kV Misfah – MSQ OHL at Misfah generation location. Proposing such generation in Muscat
area close to the load will improve the voltage profile and provide security of supply within the area.
Further, it will minimize the losses produced from importing power from other governorates to Muscat.
Moreover, Muscat governorate would experience issues in voltage recovery after faults and having Misfah
generation would resolve all issues and avoid installation of reactive power compensation (i.e. SVC or
STATCOM).
Having power 2024 in Barka will help in exporting power towards Muscat governorate and to supply load
within the area. This site can accommodate up to 360MW without the need for system reinforcement and
700MW with additional reinforcement (additional 2x220kV OHL Filaj-Mobella). Furthermore, the system
studies assumed that the existing nearby generation in Barka is dispatched fully.
Similar to Misfah, Ghubrah location is close to Muscat load centre and having generation at the site will
provide reactive support to improve voltage profile and resolve voltage recovery issues. This site can
accommodate up to 700MW with minor reinforcements (additional 1x132kV GIS bay and modification of
1x132kV GIS bay at New Ghubrah).
Sohar site is proposed to accommodate power 2024, having additional capacity in Sohar would require a
huge investment in the transmission network. The investment includes additional 2x400kV bays and
2x400kV OHL SIS-Rustaq (126km). Sohar site can accommodate up to 450MW without the need for
system reinforcement and 700MW with additional reinforcement at Sohar area.
The last sites are Manah and Al kamil will be considered to share the 700MW of power 2024. The two sites
do not require any reinforcement to evacuate the proposed capacity. However, these sites are far from
Muscat load centre.
Page | 113
In terms of technical and financial ranking, Barka provides a good technical performance, however Barka
location considered to be little far from load centre of Muscat and it financially requires investments in
220kV system. Also, Ghubrah site provides a good technical performance and location which is closer to
Muscat. In addition, it requires minor reinforcements which makes it very attractive financially. Further,
Misfah provides a strategic location and good performance, however it requires new investments in the
transmission network which impact it is financial ranking. On the other hand, Sohar does not provide an
attractive option technically and financially. Furthermore, Manah and Al Kamil sites does not provide a
good technical performance and their locations which are from Muscat load centre. In terms of overall
ranking, Ghubrah ranked as the most preferred option while Sohar ranked as non-preferred option
considering both technical and financial ranking. Table 17 shows the potential generation connection and
the Technical and Financial rankings.

10. Non-compliances
The load flow studies summarised in Appendix C and discussed in Sections 8 and 9 of this Statement
indicate a number of out of firm grid stations and circuits in the early years of the Statement. In this final
section, a review of each grid station / circuit, which is currently failing to meet the Transmission Security
Standards, is presented. In addition, a description of the development activities that OETC is undertaking
to address this non-compliance and indicates the expected time by which, in each instance, full
Transmission Security Standards compliance should be achieved are presented.
It should be noted that the level of the security requirements on the transmission system would change in
future as the demand on the system increases and as the system configuration changes. It is possible that
further non-compliances will arise in the future until the overall system becomes substantially more robust
through interconnection. OETC will keep this situation under review, and the non-compliance status will
be updated in the 2021 Capability Statement.
As indicated in sections 8, 9 and summarized in Table 18,Table 19 and Table 20, there are some overhead
lines/cables and grid stations, which do not comply with the Transmission Security Standard. Therefore, it
will be necessary for a further location and duration for specific derogations to be prepared by OETC and
approved by the authority for each of the out of firm grid stations which do not comply with the
Transmission Security Standard at peak and maintenance time noted in Table 18,Table 19 and Table 20.
The following points should be noted:
1) The loading results that are shown in Tables C1 and C3 (Appendix C), are those at the peak load
conditions. The system peak lasts only for a period of less than one hour in one day during the
relevant year.
2) According to the most recent OPWP data, there are two forecast cases: (i) expected case, and (ii)
high case. The difference between the high and expected cases in 2020 for MIS is 260 MW and for
Dhofar System is 10 MW at the peak time. This difference will increase in the subsequent years
where it will reach 1480 MW for MIS and 130 MW for Dhofar System in 2024, indicating
uncertainty in the forecast over the coming years especially with regards to new industrial loads.
OETC intends to monitor closely the situation, in coordination with OPWP, in order to assess the
probability associated with the high case projection and the effect of the approved Cost Reflected
Tariff (CRT).
3) It is not prudent to invest in uncertain expansion. OETC will initiate new projects as new demand
becomes more certain. Therefore, Table 18 shows conditions at the summer peak of 2020.
4) The modelling reflects all load transfer schemes that have been formally accepted by the relevant
Distribution Company, which are included in their load forecasts.
Page | 116
OETC has adopted a two-fold approach to address these out of firm situations:
1) Reinforcement plans: strategic upgrading to add new circuits and/or to increase the capacity of grid
stations within a minimum of three to five years. This will not just solve the problem, but it will
also strengthen the transmission system for future development. This type of solution can only be
applied as a longer-term solution because of the time taken to implement. Reinforcement is the
most robust long-term solution for secure system development, but may not necessarily be the least
cost effective solution to address the immediate out of firm conditions on the network.
2) Load Transfer: through agreement with Distribution Companies, load can be transferred from
heavily loaded grid stations to more lightly loaded grid stations over the next years. This would
reduce the loading issues and balance the system during peak time. This is a mid-term solution,
which could be implemented by Distribution Companies in certain cases. Given the uncertainty of
mid-term load forecasts in Oman at present, this is in some circumstances the most appropriate and
economic action to address out of firm conditions on the network.
Table 18 and Table 19 indicate a number of overhead lines/cables and grid stations on the system that will
be out of firm in 2020. Table 20 shows the grid stations which are classified as group E (>115 MW) that
are not complying with the Transmission Security Standard (Second Outage) at 2020 maintenance period.

Appendix A: Review of Future Developments

A.1 Summary of Projects to be completed between 2020 and 2024 Peak Demands
The OETC transmission network is undergoing widespread and rapid development due to the expansion
requirements of Distribution Companies, large private customers, and new generation requirements based
on the yearly demand growth and further reinforcements on the transmission network to ensure the security,
quality, reliability and availability of the system.
There are a significant number of projects required to meet the annual peak demands over the period of this
Statement (2020-2024). These projects are considered below under the following categories:
• Projects commissioned or under construction to meet 2020 peak demand.
• Projects that are at design stage.
• Projects that are at the tender evaluation stage prior to appointment of the successful EPC
Contractor.
• Projects planned for future developments that represent the least cost options to address
problems with system growth, voltage profile, and non-compliance with the Transmission
Security Standard.
The entire programme of ongoing and future projects, which are planned for implementation over the period
2020 to 2024 are listed and described below. It should be noted that the project numbers referred in this
Appendix are identical to those in Table 1 of the Executive Summary. It should also be noted that not all of
the projects described have full authorisation at this time and they should be supported by pre investment
appraisals document to approve and to select the proper option for each project.
A.2 Projects expected to be completed to meet the 2020 peak demand
Project #1: Adding third and fourth 132/33kV transformer at Airport Heights
The Third and fourth 125 MVA transformers with 4x33kV GIS interlink will be added at Airport Heights
grid station to meet the Transmission Security Standard requirements and to cater for the high demand
growth within the area. This project was energised in September 2019.
Project #2: 400kV line connection between Sohar Free Zone – Mahadha & Sohar Free Zone – SIS
This project is intended to support the power evacuation from Sohar-III IPP based on the Transmission
Security Standard requirements and to support 400kV backbone network development. The construction of
this project consists of 33km of 400kV OHL from Sohar Free Zone to SIS, 62km of 400kV line connected
from Sohar Free Zone to Mahadha operated as 220kV, 1km Monopole from 400kV SFZ to 220kV SFZ,
0.26km of 220kV UGC each circuit at Mahadha end and 2x220kV GIS at Sohar Free Zone. This project
was completed in December 2019.
Page | 121
Project #3: Security of SIA 132kV

One single circuit underground cable will be installed between SPS-1 and SIA grid stations. The project
will include laying around 3.7 km 2500mm2 underground cable of 220kV and installing 1x500 MVA
transformer 220/132kV at SIA. The main purpose of this project is to secure the load at SIA during the
second circuit outage since this grid station is fed by radial 220kV double circuits. This project was
energized in March 2020.
Project #4: Birkat Al Mouz 132/33kV grid station

The objective of this project is to construct a new 132/33kV, 2x125 MVA transformers grid station to meet
the load growth in the area. It will be LILO of Izki to Nizwa 132kV OHL. This grid station will provide a
surplus capacity for load transfer from nearby grid stations like Nizwa and Madinat Nizwa. This project
was in service by March 2020.
Project #5: Construction of a new 400kV OHL from Sohar Free Zone to Shinas
New 400kV line will be constructed between Sohar Free Zone and Shinas grid stations (operated as 132kV).
The purpose of this new line is to secure existing Shinas and new Madinat Shinas grid stations as per
Transmission Security Standard requirements during the second forced outage. This project consists of
construction of 30km of 400kV OHL (Operated as 132kV) from Sohar Free Zone grid station to Shinas
grid station with 132kV circuit breakers at Sohar Free zone and Shinas grid stations. This project was in
service by March 2020.
Project #6: Sumail Industrial 132/33kV grid station

As raised by MZEC, the new industrial area has been established in Sumail and Sumail grid station itself is
suffering from load growth. Hence, new grid station will be constructed as 132/33kV, 2x125 MVA
transformers and 8x132kV GIS. This station will be supplied via 132kV double circuit OHL by LILO
around 14.6km from the line of Rusail- Sumail. This project is expected to be in service by June 2020.
Project #7: 400 kV OHL between New Izki to Misfah

This project will be used to evacuate the power from Sur power plant to Al Dahkhliah and Al Sharqiyah
areas. The length of the line is 100km of 400kV OHL between Misfah and New Izki 400kV grid station. In
addition, this 400kV line will support the voltage in Al Sharqiyah and Al Dakhliah area. Also, this line will
be an infrastructure for future development. This project is expected to be in service by August 2020.
Project #8: Khaborah Interconnection Station (KIS)

This project consists of 2x500 MVA transformers, 8x132kV GIS and 10x220kV GIS. The 220kV system
will be connected to 220kV OHL MIS-SIS by LILO connection and the 132kV system will be connected
to 132kV OHL Dil Abdusalam- Khabourah by LILO connection. This will support voltage profile and the
security of the supply within Al Batinah South and North regions. This project is expected to be in service
by August 2020.
Page | 122
Project #9: Yanqul 132/33kV grid station

This project consists of constructing a new 132/33kV, 2x125 MVA transformers grid station to meet the
load growth in the area. It will be LILO of Dank- Al Hayl 132kV OHL. This grid station will provide a
surplus capacity for load transfer from Al Hayl grid station and reduce the 33kV OHL losses. This project

Appendix B: Transmission System Data

B.1 Substations Loads and Capacitor data
The grid station real and reactive power loads at system peak demand for the period from 2020 to 2024 and
the respective reactive power support from capacitor banks connected at the grid station 33kV busbars is
shown in Table B.1.10 This data was used in the power flow studies of system peak demand presented in
Section 8 of this Capability Statement.
B.2 Overhead Line Circuit Capacities and Parameters

The continuous thermal rating of a circuit is the maximum power flow that can be carried by that circuit on
a continuous basis. The thermal rating of an overhead line is the power flow that can be carried by that line
without infringing the statutory clearances and causing a risk to public safety and to the line itself. The
thermal rating of an underground cable, however, is the maximum power flow that the cable can carry
without either causing the cable to fail or effectively reducing its projected lifespan through a deterioration
of the cable insulation.
Although the thermal rating of an overhead line is affected by climatic conditions, for the purpose of
assessing spare capacity on the transmission system, the key climatic condition that limits the circuit rating
is the summer rating when the temperature is at its highest level and the solar radiation is at its peak. This
also corresponds to when the electricity demand is at or near to its peak.
The circuit data presented in Table B.2 for the first year of the Statement period (2020) comprises the
voltage, resistance, reactance, susceptance and thermal rating of the line and cable circuits. It also shows
the circuit length and the type of overhead conductor or underground cable for each circuit.
Table B.3 shows the changes to the circuit data required in each of the other four years covered by the
Statement.
B.3 Transformer data

The data used to model the grid supply point transformers in the power flow studies of the 2020 summer
peak demand condition is shown in Table B.4. The data comprises the transformer voltage ratio, the
resistance and reactance, the tap range and step size. Table B.5 lists changes to the transformer data for the
remaining four year of the Statement.
10
T he 33kV busbars at the grid supply points and the capacitors connected to them are owned and operated by the Distr ibution Companies.
