ITU-R BT.2254-3 1 REPORT ITU-R BT.2254-3 Frequency and network planning aspects of DVB-T2 (2012-2013-2014-2017) DVB-T2 is a 2nd generation terrestrial broadcast transmission system developed by DVB project since 2006. The main purpose was to increase capacity, ruggedness and flexibility to the DVB-T system. The first version was published by ETSI as EN 302 755 in 2009. This Report provides guidance on frequency and network planning of DVB-T2. It has been developed by EBU Members involved in planning of DVB-T2 networks. It is intended to help broadcast network operators in their planning and administrations in defining the most suitable set of parameters from the large possibilities offered by the DVB-T2 system. In its present form, it has been published as EBU Tech 3348 ‘Frequency and network aspects of DVB-T2’.

    PREFACE This Distribution System Capability Statement (DSCS) is provided by Muscat Electricity Distribution Company (MEDC) to fulfil its regulatory obligations under Condition number 32 of the MEDC Distribution and Supply Licence as well as the Oman Distribution Planning Code 4.4. MEDC supplies electricity to customers throughout the Muscat Governate as the owner and operator of its electricity distribution system originating from the 33kV busbars of the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) 132/33kV grid substations down to the final customer’s point of connection; which incorporates 33kV, 11kV and Low Voltage (LV) distribution system voltage levels and associated assets. The aim of this DSCS is to provide an up-to-date distribution system capability for the next three years (2021-2023) along with data to enable customers in identifying parts of the system; which offer opportunities for future connections or upgrading of existing connections to the MEDC system and where constraints currently exist or potentially could exist in future. In addition to the required data made available annually as part of DSCS; MEDC additionally has provided improved detailed system connectivity and additional technical data of assets, impact analysis of Cost Reflective Tariff (CRT) on MEDC customers and an overview of the photovoltaic (PV) system penetration in the MEDC distribution system which is gaining momentum in our licenced area as well. These additions are expected to provide customers and other stakeholders with a transparent understanding of MEDC distribution system and operational overview, sufficient technical parameters to undertake initial system capabilities assessment and the overall distribution system development. Additionally, this year the world including MEDC customers and hence its network have experienced a force-majure event triggered due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has temporarily but significantly impacted electricity demand including future growth in the MEDC licenced area.

    MUSCAT ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANY S.A.O.C Distribution Capability Statement [2018 – 2020] MUSCAT ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANY S.A.O.C Preface This Distribution Capability Statement is provided by the Muscat Electricity Distribution Company (hereafter MEDC) according to Distribution and Supply Licence Condition number 32 and in accordance to the Distribution Planning code 4.4. This Statement describes the Distribution System capability over the next three years 2018 -2020. The Statement provides up-to-date Distribution System data to provide customers with the information needed to identify those parts of the system which offer the most suitable opportunities for future connections to the MEDC system and where constraints currently exist, or will exist. This year we have taken the decision to further provide detailed system data in spreadsheet format. The spreadsheet supplements this capability statement and is available to customers and other relevant stakeholders. We hope this provides our customers and other stakeholders with a transparent and usable platform to assess possible points of connection within the MEDC licenced area and to assess the opportunities it provides. The board of MEDC has determined this three-year plan to clarify and highlight MEDC’s key priorities over the coming years. The plan will form the basis for the company’s further investments and serve to confirm MEDC’s contributions to the Omani electricity sector. Eng.

This should be done with a spirit of responsibility, understanding, and awareness that such cooperation will result in more progress, promotion, growth, and prosperity”. Qaboos bin Said 6 6 The National Program for Enhancing Economic Diversification (TANFEEDH) The National Program for Enhancing Economic Diversification is an action-oriented program derived from the 9th Five-Year Development Plan (2016 – 2020). The Program aims to contribute to the achievement of the Sultanate’s vision of economic diversification by addressing the challenges and difficulties faced by governmental, private and civil institutions in achieving the objectives of the 9th Five-Year Development Plan. TANFEEDH aims to identify the responsibilities, resources, and timeframes needed for implementation of initiatives that drive economic diversification; set clear standards and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for said initiatives; and, provide periodic reports on the progress achieved in the implementation of the initiatives to ensure that the public is routinely informed of the Program’s progress.
