    Chapter One

    Introduction

    1.1 Project Overview

    Energy is considered to be an important component in the social, industrial,

    technological, economic, and sustainable development of any country. Among all

    forms of energy, electrical energy is regarded as high grade energy, and it has beenthe major driver for technological and economic development.

    The Palestinian economy suffers from major distortions and underdevelopment

    due to the Israeli occupation, which affects the development of infrastructure. As a

    result the Palestinian electricity sector suffers from several problems.

    This situation prevents any possibility to generate electricity in Palestine, so

    electricity sector became totally dependent on purchasing power from IEC.

    The absence of a Palestinian electrical system creates many separated electrical

    networks that are owned by distribution companies and municipalities. This causes

    high transmission losses, high transmission costs, and unreliable systems.

    This project introduction will lay out the current situation of the electricity

    sector in West Bank. It includes a study of the different distribution companies in

    West Bank.

    The only main transmission lines constructed in the West Bank by IEC are three

    main 161 kV overhead lines feeding the three main substations: in Hebron, Qalandia

    (Atarot) and Salfiet (Arael).These feeders supply West Bank by 800 MVA, 571

    MVA which are supplied to the distribution companies and the remaining 229 MVA

    is supplied to municipalities.

    The ranges of voltage of West Bank networks are 400V, 6.6 kV, 11kv, 33 kV. In

    Jerusalem Distribution Electric Company (JDECO), the voltage ranges are 400V, 11

    kV and 33 kV. Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO) and Southern

    Electricity Company (SELCO) use 400V, 6.6 kV and 33 kV ranges, but in HebronElectric Power Company (HEPCO) the ranges of voltage are 400V, 6.6 kV, 11 kV, 33

    kV. Municipalities directly step down the voltage from 33 kV to 400 kV.

    These networks suffer from high transmission and distribution losses (technical

    and non technical) that varies from 17-32 %.

    1.2 Project Outline

    In chapter two of this project introduction, electrical energy supply and demand

    in West Bank is presented. Data on electrical energy consuming sectors, supply

    sources, tariff structure, future plans, and problems facing electrical energy sector are

    presented.

    Chapter three presents a general description of Nablus electrical network. Data

    on connection point capacities, network transformers, distribution networks, energy

    supplied, number of consumers and energy consumption. Also we did power flow

    analysis for Wadi Altufah substation using Power World Simulator.

    Chapter four presents a general description of Hebron electrical network. Data

    on connection point capacities, network transformers, distribution networks, energy

    supplied, number of consumers and energy consumption.

    Chapter five presents a general description of JDECO electrical network. Data

    on connection point capacities, network transformers, distribution networks, energy

    supplied, number of consumers and energy consumption. Also we did power flow

    analysis for Alkhas substation using Power World Simulator.

    Chapter Two

    Overview of Electrical Energy Situation in West Bank

    2.1 Electrical Energy SourcesThe national independent power supply is still under construction and

    rehabilitation. There is no electrical power generation in West Bank. 96% of

    electrical energy consumed in 2009 was imported from IEC, and the remaining was

    imported from Jordan [1].

    The maximum capacity of West Bank is nearly 800 MVA. 70% of the supply

    from Israel comes indirectly through three 161/33 kV substations; one in the south in

    area C close to Hebron, a second in the north in the Ariel settlement (area C) close to

    Nablus, and a third in Atarot industrial area (area C) near Jerusalem. These feeders

    feed Hebron, Bethlehem, East Jerusalem, Ramallah, Jericho, Salfeet and Nablus.

    30% comes directly through two 33 kV feeders from Beisan which feed both Jenin

    and Tubas. And three 22 kV feeders from Ntanya feed both Tulkarm and Qalqiliya

    [2]. The supply from Jordan comes through 33 kV (can withstand 132 kV) overhead

    line (20MW) to supply only Jericho [3]. The remaining power is generated by

    decentralized small diesel generators.

    2.2 Electric Utilities in West BankThe electricity sector in Palestine is somewhat fragmented. In the West Bank

    there no substantial generating capacity but there are four free standing utilities that

    are responsible for electricity distribution in West Bank. These utilities are:

    1. Jerusalem District Electricity Company (JDECO), established in 1928, it is thelargest distribution company in the West Bank covers approximately 25% of it. It

    serves Bethlehem, East Jerusalem, Ramallah and Jericho and connected to Atarot

    near Jerusalem and area C near to Hebron [3].

    2. Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCO), established in 2008 toserve Nablus, Tulkarem, Jenin and other northern regions of the West Bank. But

    till now only Nabuls and Jenin city are under its responsibility. Connection point

    is in Areil settlement, at the north of Nablus [4].

    3. Southern Electricity Company (SELCO), established in 2002.It serves Dura,Yatta and Dahariah. Connection point is in area C near to Hebron [6].

    4. Hebron Electric Power Co. (HEPCO),established in 2000. It serves Hebron andHalhul. Connection point is in area C near to Hebron [5].

    The remaining areas of the West Bank are under municipal responsibility.

    Fig. 2-2 shows the geographical area of each utility. More details about these

    companies and their connection points with IEC are discussed in next chapters.

    2.3 Electrical Energy Consumption

    Electrical Energy consumption in West Bank is another aspect of difficult

    political and economical situation. Total energy consumption in 2009 was 2366

    GWh. This consumption is small compared with energy consumption in the

    neighboring countries. Fig. 2-3 shows total electrical energy consumption in West

    Bank and neighboring countries [8].

    Fig. 2-4 shows the GWh consumption for different years in West Bank.The demand

    for electricity continued toincrease at a rate of 6.4% [2].

    Most recent indicators show that electricity consumption in West Bank could be

    estimated at 757 kWh per capita [1]. By world's standard, it is considered very low.

    As a base of comparison, a country like Jordan the annual per capita consumption is

    2000 kWh, and in Egypt is approximately 1500 kWh. Estimate for Israel would

    yield a per capita consumption of 7000 KWh that is nearly ten times that of West

    Bank [9].

    2.4 Electricity Customers in West BankThe population of West Bank is growing at a rate of 2.5% as shown in Fig. 2-7. At

    midyear 2009 it was estimated about 2,448,433 [7].

    The rate of population growth is a key feature of the number of electricity

    customers, which is an important factor to be worry about because of the limited

    electricity supply in West Bank.

    2.5 Rates and Tariff Structure in West BankThe electricity price paid by consumers is somewhat high due to the political

    situation and the unavailability of electrical generation in West Bank. Also Uniform

    tariff does not exist in West Bank. Distribution companies control the prices but not

    the PEA, so these prices vary from one company to another.

    Average price for kWh paid in West Bank to IEC is 0.38 NIS, and the average

    price paid by customers is 0.64 NIS\kWh.

    2.6 Electrical energy problemsElectricity distribution networks, that feed all categories of consumers in the areas

    of West Bank, are supplied with full requirements of electric power from IEC. Also

    because of the absence of a Palestinian electrical system that includes all of these

    networks every distributor contacts separately with IEC, which create a state of chaos.

    This situation causes many problems like high technical losses, shortage of

    supply capacities, power outages, voltage drop , and others. And there is a need for

    the development of the distribution companies in West Bank which is still in progress.

    The major electrical energy problems can be summarized in [1]:

    1- Lack of supply capacity of electrical energy to meet present and future needs.It is a serious problem in northern West Bank especially Nablus area.

    2- Electrical networks need major rehabilitation and development.3- Absence in generating capacity in West Bank.4- Energy prices are very high compared with regional and international prices.

  • 5/28/2018 Discription of electrical energy sector in Palestine

    16

    5- High transmission and distribution losses (technical and non technical) whichare considered an important and an emergent problem.

    2.7 Future Plans in West Bank

    A project is in its way to be implemented to install four new 161/33 kV

    transmission substations across West Bank, at a cost of EUR 44.5 million. Installing

    of these substations will be accompanied by rehabilitation of all distribution networks

    in all utilities in West Bank that will be supplied by these substations. This project

    aims also to strengthen the newly established Northern Electric Distribution Company

    (NEDCO).

    In the long term, the Government intends to draw no more than 50% of energy

    from any one source, and will meet this goal by increasing regional collaboration and

    improving domestic production and storage capacity.

    Two new power plants in West Bank will be constructed, which are:

    Jayyus Power Plant in the north, near Qalqiliya. Turqumia Power Plant in the south, west of Hebron.

    These projects will assist in the establishment of a new transmission company,

    Palestine Energy Transmission Company Ltd. (PETL), which would eventually own,

    operate and develop the transmission network, also facilitates the project of

    connecting Palestinian network with the Jordanian network in the future. This

    alternative which is considered seriously , especially as we know that in October

    2008, Palestine became a full member of the 7 countries interconnection project and

    became the country number eight; countries are Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq,

    Libya, Turkey and Palestine. This membership will allow Palestine to be connected tothe grid of these countries at a large scale [1].

    Chapter Three

    Nabuls Distribution System

    NEDCO is a distribution company in the north of West Bank which entirely

    depends on purchasing electricity from IEC on 33 kV level. It was established to

    serve all the northern provinces, but till now it serves Nablus province and Jenin city

    only.

    NEDCO purchases 275.8 GWh form IEC. 228.249 GWh was consumed by

    54339 consumers with 90% load factor(1).The percentage of losses is about 17% [4].

    3.1 Nablus District

    3.1.1 Feeders

    Nablus is supplied by 64MVA from the following four 33 kV feeders [4]:

    1. Odala : With a rated capacity of 13MVA.2. Askar : With a rated capacity of 23MVA.3. Qussen: With a rated capacity of 20MVA.4. Enab : With a rated capacity of 8MVA.

    NEDCO is in progressing to increase the capacity to 91MVA by increasing the

    capacity of Odala to 20 MVA and replacing Qussen feeder by Jeet feeder with a

    capacity of 40MVA. Fig. 3-1 shows these main feeders, and the future main feeders

    are shown in Fig. 3-2.

    (1)Load factor: the average power divided by the peak power over a period of time [10].

    3.1.2 Substations

    The 33 kV feeders are reduced to 6.6 kV level by step down transformers (Dy11)

    rated at 10MVA in the main substations. Table 3-1 shows the main substation with

    their rated capacities and connection points.

    These substations are connected together with 33 kV lines in order to increase

    reliability of the system. Fig. 3-3 shows the substation and there connection points.

    6.6 kV feeders are reduced to 0.4 kV level by step down transformers (Dy11)

    rated at 160kVA, 250kVA, 400kVA, 630kVAand 1000kVA, 1500kVA

    Some loads are not fed from these substations. They fed directly from 33 kV

    feeders through step down transformers (Dy11, 33/0.4 kV) with different rated

    values (160kVA, 250 kVA, 400 kVA, 630 kVA, 1000 kVA, 1500 kVA

    The 6.6 kV feeder, which comes out of the 10MVA transformer, is branched to

    a number of 6.6 kV feeders by connecting it to a bus bar. Table 3-2 shows the

    feeders that come out from each substation and their capacities

    3.2.1 Data Collection

    1. Transmission line parameters (R, X, C) as shown in Table 3-4

    (Table 3-4) Parameters of the transmission line

    The capacitance of the transmission line is calculated from the following

    equation [13]:

    C=

    F/ km (3.1)

    GMD= 75.59 cm, r =0.55cm (for ACSR 95mm2).

    C=11.3 nF/ km, which is very small, so it is neglected.

    2. Transformer parameters (R, X)

    The resistance and reactance of the transformer are not available in the

    nameplate. Depending on the percentage impedance (%Z) definition and short

    circuit test we calculated R and X values.

    A transformer's percentage impedance is evaluated by a simple test. The

    secondary terminals are short-circuited. A low voltage is then applied to the primary

    terminals, and increased until the current measured in the short-circuited secondaryreaches the rated ampere value. The impedance is then the ratio of that primary

    voltage to the rated voltage. Fig. 3-9 shows measuring impedance method [11].

    Chapter Four

    Hebron Distribution System

    There are two electric utilities that supply Hebron with electricity which will be

    discussed in the following sections.

    4.1 Hebron Electric Power Company (HEPCO)HEPCO was established in 2000. It has started its services in 2005. HEPCO

    covers 92 square kilometers and provides electricity to about 34,000 electric

    customers throughout Hebron and in Halhul [5].

    HEPCO purchases 308.419 GWh form IEC. 241.889 GWh was consumed with

    70% load factor and the percentage of losses is about 20%. Fig. 4-1 shows the daily

    load curve of HEPCO [5].

    (Fig. 4-1) HEPCO daily load curve

    The 33 kV feeders are reduced to 6.6 kV level by step down transformers (Dy11)

    rated at 10MVA in the main substation, and then 6.6 kV feeders are reduced to 0.4 kV

    level by step down transformers (Dy11) rated at 160 kVA, 250 kVA, 400 kVA, 630

    kVA and 1000 kVA.

    4. The losses in the system was 0.06MW (3.5%) and 0.03 Mvar (5%).

    From our analysis for Wadi Altufah substation and Alkas substation it was

    noticed that the percentage of losses is decreased in Alkas because of using 11 kV

    transmission lines, and also the drop voltage is decreased and the power factor at the

    load buses is almost the same as in the main substation.

    Conclusion & Future work

    There is no generation in West Bank; electricity sector depends on the electrical

    power generated by IEC, which refuses most Palestinian requests to increase the

    supplied capacity. As a result West Bank cannot guarantee electrical energy supply

    for ever, so Israel has another way to practice pressure on Palestinians.

    The present grid suffers from fragmentation, high losses, low reliability, high

    energy prices, low maintenance, and disability to handle the future demand.

    Producing our own electricity seems to be very difficult. So, it is now very

    important for distribution companies to find their way to save the available electrical

    energy and seek what new technologies are useful and how to improve old

    technologies to efficient and helpful in electrical energy saving.

    For future, we will propose different scenarios for connecting the different power

    distribution companies to generate an integrated electrical network with standard

    voltages, low power losses, high quality electrical energy, high reliability, good

    voltage level, and low transmission cost. This well integrated network allows for

    future connection to the seven Arab country grid , and eventually supplies end users

    with low cost electrical energy.
