Application of Grid-Enhancing Technologies for Stability Improvement in Low-Inertia Power Systems: A Case Study from Egypt

The Egyptian National Transmission Grid is rapidly expanding to accommodate escalating demand. In alignment with Egypt’s strategic roadmap for Renewable Energy Sources (RES), the plan envisions the incorporation of an additional 16.5 GW of RES capacity by the year 2029. This projected augmentation in RES capacity is expected to elevate the renewable penetration level to approximately 40% of the total system demand, reflecting a substantial shift in the generation mix and necessitating advanced grid management strategies to ensure system reliability, flexibility, and stability under increased variability and intermittency.
