KAHRAMAA wins two awards at GCC POWER 2026 in Oman

Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (KAHRAMAA) has received two recognitions at GCC POWER 2026 in Muscat, Oman, highlighting its work in electricity research, renewable energy integration and power-system development.

KAHRAMAA received the Best Paper Award during the conference, as well as recognition for having the highest number of submitted technical papers.

GCC POWER 2026 was held from November 2 to 4 at the JW Marriott Hotel Muscat and represented the 22nd GCC-CIGRE International Conference and 32nd Exhibition for Electrical Equipment.

Study examines renewable energy impact on Qatar’s grid

KAHRAMAA’s Best Paper Award recognised a study titled “Power Quality in the Presence of High Renewable Generation: A Case Study of the Qatar Power System.”

The study examines how increased renewable energy generation can affect the stability, reliability and quality of electricity supplied through Qatar’s power network.

It also reviews technical solutions that can help manage the challenges associated with integrating higher levels of renewable energy into the grid.

As renewable energy contributes a greater share of electricity generation, power networks can face new technical requirements relating to voltage stability, reliability and overall power quality.

The research focuses on how these impacts can be monitored and managed within Qatar’s electricity system.

KAHRAMAA presents research across several energy fields

KAHRAMAA also submitted specialised research covering several areas of electricity-system development.

These included strategic planning and power-system operation, network efficiency and reliability, renewable energy integration and real-time monitoring of distribution networks.

The corporation said the recognitions reflect its continued focus on research and innovation while developing the capabilities of its national workforce.

GCC POWER brings together regional energy specialists

GCC POWER 2026 brought together officials, experts, researchers and representatives from electricity and energy organisations across the Gulf region and internationally.

The conference focused on new technologies, innovative solutions and developments affecting electricity networks and the wider energy sector.

The event was hosted by Oman Electricity Transmission Company and managed by CIGRE GCC.

KAHRAMAA said its participation and recognition at the conference strengthen its scientific and professional presence at regional and international forums while supporting continued development of Qatar’s electricity sector.
