The Interconnection Project
The GCC
Interconnection Grid
has been planned in
three phases:
Phase I: The GCC North Grid Challenge
Saudi Arabia runs its electricity transmission network at 380 kV, 60 Hz. The other five countries use 400 kV,
50 Hz. Based on the asynchronous nature of the states to be interconnected, the best solution was to add an
HVDC interconnection. The Phase I system components linking the networks of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain
and Qatar include:
A double-circuit 400 kV, 50 Hz line from Al Zour (Kuwait) to Doha South (Qatar) via Ghunan (Saudi Arabia) with an intermediate
connection at Al Fadhili (Saudi Arabia) and associated substations.
A back-to-back HVDC interconnection to the Saudi Arabia 380 kV, 60 Hz system at Al Fadhili.
A double-circuit 400 kV interconnection comprising overhead lines and submarine link from Ghunan to Al-Jasra (Bahrain)
and associated substations.
The Control Center located at Ghunan is linked with each member country’s national control center and will ensure security,
control interconnection access, perform frequency and interchange regulation, coordinate interconnection operation, and
transaction recording and billing.
Our expert design engineers create the most optimized
solutions for each network based on present needs and in
anticipation of future growth. All energy solutions are based
on a project-by-project assessment, whether it’s for long
distance power transmission, energy trading between independent
networks or connection between asynchronous

Fast DAS FCC Comments Biennial Review(12-5-2016FY)Farzin S Yazdani
The document provides comments to the FCC regarding its 2016 Biennial Review of Telecommunications Regulations. It argues that Section 1.40001 of the FCC's rules, which facilitates infrastructure sharing, should be modified. Specifically, it suggests adding provisions that (1) allow construction to begin immediately after a wireless facility modification request is deemed granted due to a locality's inaction, and (2) mandate transparency in local governments' review of such requests. The comments assert these changes would further the FCC's goal of rapid wireless broadband deployment by removing delays in infrastructure construction and sharing.

The widespread interest in incorporating large amounts of
renewable energy into the AC transmission grid, principally
from wind and solar generation, has revealed shortcomings
in the existing infrastructure. In Europe the major wind
resources are in the North West in locations that are remote
from the major load centres. The existing grid infrastructure
in these areas is relatively weak and unable to carry the power
potentially produced by the wind power plants. A similar
situation exists in the South of Europe and North Africa,
where there is the potential for large amounts of solar power
generation, but lacking transmission systems for bringing
the power to the market. In the USA there is abundant wind
power generation capability in the Mid-West and solar power
in the South – West, but again these sites are remote from the
major load centres. Bottlenecks in the AC grids will restrict
the power flows from remote generation sites to the load
centres.
This document summarizes a study that performed power flow analysis on Nigeria's 330kV integrated power system using Newton-Raphson load flow analysis in ETAP 4.0 software. The analysis modeled 52 buses, 17 generating stations, 64 transmission lines, and found that some bus voltages were outside acceptable limits. Total losses from generators and transmission lines were calculated. Recommendations included reactive compensation of generators and transmission lines using FACTS devices.
Nexans 33kv cables for onshore windfarm projects are now available with a conductive outer skin on the protective sheath, this innovative feature assists the installer in testing for sheath damage.
This conductive outer skin feature represents one of Nexans "Windfarm Innovations Program" which covers a range of features for cables and associated services which can improve the overall efficiency of an onshore windfarm installation through reducing installation time and overall costs.
The cables used to convey power between the wind turbines and the collector substations are laid directly in trenches which can often cross challenging terrain. A common problem on sites is that the cable sheaths are damaged by stones or other obstacles during laying but this damage is not discovered until the cable is buried and testing is being carried out.
On standard cables, in order to make a "sheath test" (which measures the resistance between the cables metallic screen and the outer sheath layer), the outer sheath needs to be in contact with moist soil/sand to provide a return electrode for the test. This means the test can only be performed satisfactorily once the cable is buried in the ground.
By supplying cables which have a very thin skin of conductive material, testing can be done without the need for the cables to be buried. An initial test can be made whilst the cable is still on the drum to establish whether the cable sheath is intact before beginning to lay it in the ground, the test can then be repeated as soon as the cable is laid in its’ final position before the cables are blinded with soil or sand.
Any damage to the sheath can found from the test and repaired without the expense and lost time of having to excavate the surrounding soil /sand. A further feature is to have the sheath in a natural colour with the conductive skin as black. This assists in the identification of any sheath damage as the natural colour of the sheath is visible through the black layer at the site of damage.
The semiconductive layer is also a perfect way to detect sheath errors of cables installed in ducts. Even if the duct is dry during installation; this may change during its’ lifetime. Once water has entered a duct it normally stays there and may damage a cable with an existing sheath error in this area. With a conductive layer the cables can be tested before and after installation into ducts to be sure no sheath error is present which could reduce the cables’ lifetime.
This document provides construction standards for cable trenches as part of Saudi Electricity Company's underground distribution network. It outlines procedures for obtaining rights-of-way, installing cables directly buried in trenches, soil classification and testing, installing duct banks at road crossings, and notes on horizontal directional drilling works. The document specifies design and installation practices to achieve standardization and ensure satisfactory and economical operation with minimal operational errors for safety and reliability.

Scotland has a strong focus on accelerating the provision of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Data shows that outside of London, Scotland is way ahead of the rest of the UK in the provision of public charge points. So, what can be learnt from Westminster’s EV charging rollout? The process has been managed by a specific team, with technical input from the council’s street lighting team. This CPD presentation will give the street lighting team’s view of the in-column EV charging rollout in the council. Covering the expectations versus reality under current standards, the issues found following installation, and the ever-changing landscape of what can be allowed on the highway, this session will benefit every street lighting professional with an involvement in EV charging. The webinar will also include an overview of the issues to consider with rapid chargers.

This document discusses different methods for charging ultracapacitors, including constant voltage charging, constant current charging, flash charging, and a combined constant voltage and constant current charging method. Constant voltage charging provides high initial current but slow full charging. Constant current charging is better for cyclic use with overnight charging. Flash charging can fully charge an ultracapacitor in just 15 seconds. The combined method increases efficiency and lifetime by using variable resistors to achieve constant current output. Mathematical analysis shows the combined method can fully charge an ultracapacitor in 14 minutes using an initial 10A current. Faster ultracapacitor charging is important for electric vehicles.
This presentation discusses various technologies and methods for maximizing existing transmission capacity, including dynamic line ratings, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), HVDC transmission, controlling renewable generators via inverters, energy storage, and load forecasting. It notes that transmission congestion has significant economic costs and outlines technologies like dynamic line ratings that can help relieve constraints by more accurately assessing true thermal limits. It also provides resources for further information on each technology's applications, limitations, and potential to increase transmission capacity.

The document proposes using power line communication to monitor and control electrical drives onboard ships. Sensors would monitor parameters like speed and direction of electric drives and transmit the data over existing power lines to a centralized control room. This approach allows for fault detection and management of electrical drives from a remote location while avoiding additional communication cables onboard.
DEFINITIONS
Avoided costs
Avoided cost is the marginal cost for the same amount of energy acquired through
another means such as construction of a new production facility or purchase from an
alternate supplier
Code
The Zambia Distribution Grid Code
Connection Agreement
An agreement between DNSP(s) and each Customer setting out terms relating to a
connection with the Distribution System
Connection charge
A charge recouped from the customer for the cost of providing new or additional
capacity (irrespective of whether new investment is required or not). This is
recovered in addition to the tariff charges as an up-front payment (connection fee)
or as a monthly charge where the distributor finances the connection
Customer
A person or entity whose premises are connected or has applied to have premises
connected to the Distribution System for the purpose of obtaining interconnection of
its premises to the Distribution System
Customer Asset
Electrical assets that are owned by the customer and are designed and installed in
accordance with Zambia Wiring of Premises standard, ZS 791
Customer Interruption Cost
This is the cost to customers due to interruptions of supply (cost of unserved
energy)
Dedicated Assets / Dedicated Network
The portions of the network which are dedicated to a specific customer - Customer
dedicated assets are assets created for the sole use of a customer to meet the
customer’s technical specifications, and are unlikely to be shared in the DNSP’s
planning horizon by any other end-use customer
Demand
The electrical power which is drawn from the system by a Customer, usually
expressed in MW, MVA or MVAr
This document discusses different methods for charging ultracapacitors, including constant voltage charging, constant current charging, flash charging, and a combined constant voltage and constant current charging method. Constant voltage charging provides high initial current but slow full charging. Constant current charging is better for cyclic use with overnight charging. Flash charging can fully charge an ultracapacitor in just 15 seconds. The combined method increases efficiency and lifetime by using variable resistors to achieve constant current output. Mathematical analysis shows the combined method can fully charge an ultracapacitor in 14 minutes using an initial 10A current. Faster ultracapacitor charging is important for electric vehicles.
This presentation discusses various technologies and methods for maximizing existing transmission capacity, including dynamic line ratings, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), HVDC transmission, controlling renewable generators via inverters, energy storage, and load forecasting. It notes that transmission congestion has significant economic costs and outlines technologies like dynamic line ratings that can help relieve constraints by more accurately assessing true thermal limits. It also provides resources for further information on each technology's applications, limitations, and potential to increase transmission capacity.
