In charge of load forecasting, network
analysis, system planning and economic
justification. Besides, as a member in the
Jordanian Engineers team, working together
with an international team of experts and
consultants (EDF-France and Gilbert Co.
USA) in performing electric system studies for
Jordan. These studies included load research
and management, diagnostic analysis for
Jordan power distribution system, customer
management, databases and Amman 20-Year
Master Plan.
Assignments included data collection and
preparation of studies relating to forecasting;
short-circuit calculations, system losses
calculations, planning of JEPCo distribution
system and building a data base suitable to
run the Computer-Aided Distribution Planning
and Design (CAD PAD) System. The CAD
PAD package software was prepared by
Westing House (USA) ad installed in JEPCo
in 1986.
Involved in a wide variety of power system
operations including voltage control of low
voltage networks. The assignments included
field investigations, analysis of voltage drop
problems, load balancing and design of new
networks.
