Objective of this study is to analyze performance of integrated power system and parallel operation of ADWEA (Abu Dhabi), DEWA (Dubai) and SEWA (Sarjah) emirates in summer peak conditions that represent most critical regime. In scope was to develop defense plan mechanism in case of major disturbances to keep system stability and reliable operation. Different variants and solutions were evaluated in order to develop best solution.

Type of services provided:

  • Load flow analyses (steady state, contingency…)
  • Voltage profile and stability analyses
  • Fault analyses, switching analyses
  • Transient stability analyses
  • Primary control and frequency response analyses
  • Defense plan mechanisms
  • Maximum exchange capabilities
