Civil and Architectural Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering Department-College of Engineering-Sultan Qaboos University Toward Smart Grid Transformation – A Case Study in Oman Ahmed AL Shaqsi Abstract Smart grid is becoming a priority as organizations strive to reduce energy costs, conform to regulatory requirements, and improve their corporate image, increasing the use of renewable energy, and relying first on energy efficiency, conservation and demand response to meet increases in energy demand. The evolution of smart grid technologies can help power utilities to address these issues while adhering to their commitment of being low‐cost, reliable, safe, and environmentally sound service providers. This research examines the current status of Mazoon Electricity Company with regards to the Smart Grid. The research discusses current plans and future visions. It recommends further research and investigation into the potential benefits of smart grid technologies. A smart grid maturity model was the prime tool which was used to assess the current situation and future plan. Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. The smart gird investments decision was based on a multi- criteria decision technique. The preliminary results of the research show that the company is in the initial stages of smart grid deployment. Following an in-depth multi-dimensional analysis of preliminary research results, some recommendations for smart grid transformation are presented. The conclusion drawn from the analysis is that smart grid investments, namely SCADA and AMI, are the first and second ranked options to move towards smart grid.
