The real Kuwait High Voltage (HV) network was simulated to examine different measures at both 275 kV and 132 kV stations. The simulation results show that the short circuit currents exceed the permissible levels (40 kA in the 132 kV network and 63 kA in the 275 kV network) in some specific points. The examined measures include the a study on changing the neutral point policy, changing some lines from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), dividing specific bus bars in some generating stations and applying current limiters. The paper also presents a new plan for the transmission network in order to manage the expected increase in short circuit levels in the future.展开更多
