Bandar Seri Begawan Solar Monitoring Power Supply System

3) Berakas Power Company Sdn Bhd (BPC) The BPC was established as a private enterprise in 1999. It operates the generation, transmission, and distribution network to the end users in Bruneis central area, where Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB) is located and supplies approximately 40% of the national electric power demand.

The amount of PV installed capacity was 1.2 MW as of 2019, but Brunei plans to gradually increase the installed capacity of PV to about 100 MW by 2025, about 200 MW by 2030, and about 300 MW by 2035.

Overview of frequency control in runei's power network The power system frequency of Brunei Darussalam is 50 Hz and both DES and BPC are responsible for frequency control.

Therefore, ERIA analysed a vRE capacity that can be connected to Bruneis power grid and Temburong district. The next chapter describes the details of the analysis.

There are two power systems in Brunei Darussalam, as mentioned. The DES power system covers the whole country, supervises Temburong district, and comprises four power stations and transmission lines at 275 kV, 132 kV, and 66 kV. However, the current maximum operating voltage is 66 kV.

Bruneis connectable capacity is ïïð MW, which accounts for 28% of the total generation capacity when the interconnection is not used in the current power demand and grid. Figure 2.14 shows Brunei will introduce about 300 75 MW of PV generation by îìïñ. Thus, this study result fully covers the capacity of Bruneis PV development plan in 2035.
