Power System Highlights for January 2, 2004 The CPA Electricity Advisor issues this report to note significant events or conditions of interest in the power sector. The basic daily data on the power system is available on the CPA web site. HIGHLIGHTS: NO REPORTS RECEIVED TODAY ON GENERATOR MAINTENANCE OR TRANSMISSION STATUS. Generation: Daily System peak on 1 Jan – 3,710Mw. Daily system Demand on 1 Jan – 5,564 Mw (Estimated) (3710, Actual Generation + 1530, Load Shed + 324, Corrected Frequency = 5564) Total generation – 78, 000Mwh Imported power - Power from Syria (60Mw) and Turkey (80Mw) included in System Peak Generators Returned to Service South Baghdad # 3 30 Mw Generators Unscheduled Out of Service as of 1 JAN 04 768 Mw Dibis 3 SP, tripped due to feed water pump problem --------------------- 8 Mw Baiji 1, Boiler Leak -------------------------------------------------------------- 100 Mw Baiji 4, Stopped, Unknown Reason at report time --------------------- 100 Mw Daura 4, Emergency Shutdown, 12/31, Leakage ------------------------100 Mw * South Baghdad # 2, Emergency Shutdown, 1/1, leak ------------------35 Mw Mussaibe2, SP, Limited to 80 Mw, cold water pressure ----------------120 Mw Old Mulla 1,NG, Acc Gear -------------------------------------------------------15 Mw Old Mulla 2, NG, Servo and Circuit breaker problem --------------------15 Mw Old Mulla 4, NG, Vibration trip ------------------------------------------------- 15 Mw Old Mulla 6, NG, Accessory Gear ---------------------------------------------15 Mw New Mulla 6, NG, Generator Defect ---------------------------------------- 30 Mw Taji 3, NG, Compressor ----------------------------------------------------------15 Mw Taji 4, NG, Turbine problem -----------------------------------------------------15 Mw Taji 5, NG, Pilot Problem ---------------------------------------------------------15 Mw Taji 6, NG,Auxillary ----------------------------------------------------------------15 Mw Taji Mobile, 2, NG, Software problem -----------------------------------------10 Mw Mosil 1, NG, Rotor Defect ------------------------------------------------------- 15 Mw Mosil 2, NG, Servo problem -----------------------------------------------------15 Mw Mosil 9, NG, Rotor Defect ------------------------------------------------------- 15 Mw Shuaiba 1, NG, S/B ----------------------------------------------------------------10 Mw Najebia 4, SP, Boiler Leak ------------------------------------------------------ 90 Mw , * RED – Denotes out of service since last report Generators Scheduled Out of Service as of 1 JAN 04 1071 Mw 2 Thermal units off-line for rehabilitation --------------------------------- 200 Mw Daura 5 and 6 – 200 Mw – ECD May 2004 6 Thermal units in programmed maintenance -------------------------- 623 Mw Dibis 1 – 8 Mw – ECD Jan 25 Baiji 6 -100 Mw – ECD Jan 19 South Baghdad 5 35 Mw – ECD Jan 15 Mussaibe 3 200 Mw – ECD TBD (Not Complete yet-expect soon) Nassirya 4 130 Mw – ECD Feb 15 Hartha 4 150 Mw – ECD slipped to 23 Jan 6 Gas Turbine units off-line for rehabilitation ------------------------------123 Mw Dibis 4, 5, 18 Mw Old Mulla 12 15 Mw Taji 7 15 Mw Daura 3 20 Mw Khor Zubayr 4 55 Mw 5 Gas Turbine units in programmed maintenance------------------------125 Mw Mosil 3 15 Mw Old Mulla 5,7 30 Mw New Mulla 5 30 Mw Najaf 2 50 Mw Transmission: Countrywide, Iraq’s electrical output continues to be constrained by damaged transmission and distribution lines. The lines have come down due to sabotage and bad weather. Downed transmission lines increase the probability for complete nationwide blackout by reducing system contingency and causing mechanical damage at power plants. This may cause further temporary blackouts, which have already directly resulted in 1) impacted refineries causing reduced fuel flow to power plants and a subsequent reduction in power supply, and 2) damages in the power plants due to undercurrent causing units to come off-line for unscheduled maintenance. Transmission Lines out of service: 400KV Hartha to Khor Zubar – Increased load shedding in Basra region.
