From diesel reliance to sustainable power in Iraq: Optimized

In the model where an HMGS is connected to the grid and supplemented by a GG, random grid outages are estimated at 7 h per day, equating to an average grid electrical supply capacity of

Iraq

Iraq holds abundant oil and gas resources and has strong solar PV potential. Its production to 2030 is set to be third largest contributor to global oil supply. Electricity is primarily used for heating, cooling, lighting, cooking and to power devices, appliances and industrial equipment. Further electrification of end-uses, especially

Empowering Iraq: The $27 Billion Deal for Iraq''s Energy

Iraq''s Energy Sector: A Roadmap to a Brighter Future

There are a number of pathways available for the future of electricity supply in Iraq but the most affordable, reliable and sustainable path requires cutting network losses by half at least, strengthening regional interconnections, putting captured gas to use in efficient power plants, and increasing the share of renewables in the mix.

From diesel reliance to sustainable power in Iraq: Optimized

In the model where an HMGS is connected to the grid and supplemented by a GG, random grid outages are estimated at 7 h per day, equating to an average grid electrical supply capacity of 70.5%. In scenarios where the SPV system fails to generate electricity concurrent with a grid outage, the GG is deployed.
