{"title":"Reducing the Short Circuit Levels in Kuwait Transmission Network (A Case Study)","authors":"Mahmoud Gilany, Wael Al-Hasawi","volume":29,"journal":"International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering","pagesStart":1136,"pagesEnd":1141,"ISSN":"1307-6892","URL":"https:\/\/publications.waset.org\/pdf\/1706","abstract":"Preliminary studies on Kuwait high voltage\ntransmission system show significant increase in the short circuit\nlevel at some of the grid substations and some generating stations.\nThis increase results from the growth in the power transmission\nsystems in size and complexity. New generating stations are expected\nto be added to the system within the next few years. This paper\ndescribes the study analysis performed to evaluate the available and\npotential solutions to control SC levels in Kuwait power system. It\nalso presents a modified planning of the transmission network in\norder to fulfill this task.","references":"[1] J. Panek, H.
