In the College of Engineering / Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, It was discussed a master’s thesis tagged (the best integration of hybrid generation units into the Iraqi electrical network) by researcher Ahmed Rahim Ali Al-Shammari, which searches for the best integration of hybrid generation units with the Iraqi electricity network, where one of the feeders of an electricity distribution network was studied. Holy Karbala 71bus System, as the feeder was the highest loaded among the distribution network feeders in the governorate, based on data extracted by the researcher from the Operations Department in the Holy Karbala Electricity Distribution Branch.
Holy Karbala Electricity had approved programs in the Software Division affiliated with the Planning Department in the branch also confirmed that it is the highest feeder in terms of voltage drop, reaching 21%, and the load value is 7.9MW, with a current of 475A from the 11KV side.
The thesis included the installation of generating sources and capacitors in separate and multiple ways and in several cases and scenarios, through which the researcher achieved a reduction in real and imaginary losses in the network and improved voltages, leading to a reduction in economic costs. The thesis used advanced optimization theories. The thesis was also compared to the IEEE-69 bus network, and the results confirmed the validity of his wor0k.
The thesis was approved by the discussion committee, which consisted of Assistant Professor Dr. Afanin Anwar Abboud (University of Technology / Chairman), Assistant Professor Dr. Haider Muhammad Imran (Presidency of the University of Kerbala / Member), the teacher Dr. Yasser Falah Hassan (Presidency of the University of Kerbala / Member), and all of the professors. Dr. Ali Abdul Razzaq Al-Tahir (University of Kerbala – College of Engineering/supervisor and member) and Professor Dr. Sham Fadel Alloush (University of Babylon/supervisor and member).
