EEHC`s efforts during the period from 2007/2008-2011/2012 resulted in a lot of achievements which could be summarized in the following: ● Increase in Peak load from 19738 MW to 25705 MW. ● Increase in energy generated from about 125 Twh to 157 TWh. ● Increase in the number of customers from 23.8 million customers to 28.1 million customers. ● Increase of the per capita consumption from 1650 Kwh to 1910 KWh. ● Reduction of the average fuel consumption rate for thermal power plants from 217.3 gm/KWh gen. to 209 gm/KWh gen. ● Reduction of network losses from 11.24% to 10.79% . ● The average availability of power plants reached about 84.84 % due to the execution of maintenance program. ● The optimum use of all available resources especially the use of natural gas in thermal power plants in coordination with the petroleum sector and the renewable energy (wind-solar-hydro) in cooperation with other power sector authorities. ● Provide electricity supply services to all consumers with high quality according to the technical standards. ● Development of customer service centers in order to facilitate, improve and modernize the services provided to the customers. ● Reinforcement of the interconnection projects with neighboring countries. 7 Ministry of Electricity & Energy Egyptian Electricity Holding Company Introduction − One of the EEHC major activities is future planning to meet the forecasted growth rate of demand by optimizing the use of all available energy resources and investments. EEHC produces high accuracy level of forecast using long past period of historical data, and the most recent international forecast software models for generation, transmission and distribution. − EEHC always oversees the implementation of the five-year plans to ensure availability of supply once needed as follows: ● EEHC is following up implementation of the sixth, five-year plan which includes the addition of a generation capacity of 7000 MW to meet the expected increase of demand during the period (2007- 2012) in addition to executing a fast track program by adding 2600 MW gas turbines to meet the unexpected high demand during the summer. Out of the (2007-2012) plan, 4400 MW of generation capacity have already been commissioned till 30/6/2012, while Abu Kir and El Ein El Sokhna (projects plan) are under execution, the first unit of Abu Kir power plant (650 MW) has been commissioned July 2012. Through the fast track program, 2100 MW have been accomplished through 3 projects at New Shabab, Damietta and 6 October power stations up to June 2012. Domiat west is under implementation. ● EEHC also prepared the seventh, five-year plan (2012-2017) which includes execution of 12400 MW of thermal generation capacity from which 11100 MW will be commissioned during the plan years and 1300 MW to be commissioned during FY 2017/2018. ● The plans also included expansion of transmission and distribution networks to evacuate the generated power, transmit, distribute and supply the large increase in the number of customers and improve the quality of supply. − EEHC is also keen for the following: ● Cooperation and coordination with all local Egyptian firms and entities in order to maximize the local contribution in different planned electricity projects. The local manufacturing reached 100% of distribution networks and transmission networks components up to 220kV , 42% from conventional thermal power plants components, 30% from wind power plants and 50% from the first solar thermal power plant at Kuriemat. ● Cooperation with international companies and firms and participation in international conferences, workshops and seminars in order to acquire and get benefit of the latest international experience to serve its customers ●✍ Optimizing the huge investments required for new expansions and ensuring sustainability of electric energy by forcing and supporting the implementation of energy conservation, demand side management and energy efficiency programs. − Acknowledging the importance of data documentation, the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company issues this annual report to document EEHC and its affiliated companies activities, and achievements for the FY 2011/2012 and its future vision to ensure sustainable supply of electric energy. 8 Annual Report 2011 / 2012 Annual Report 2011/2012 Introduction Electricity for 2011/2012 Description 2010/2011 2011/2012 Variance% Peak load MW 23470 25705 9.5 Total energy generated GWh 146796 157406 7.2 Hydro GWh 13046 12934 (0.9) Thermal(1) GWh 118500 129361 9.2 Renewable(2) GWh 1704.4 2004 17.6 Energy Purchased from IPP’s(3) GWh 27.3 29 6.2 Private Sector (BOOTs) GWh 13309 12855 (3.4) Isolated Plants GWh 209 223 6.7 Net Energy Exchange with interconnected countries GWh 1443 1576 9.2 Sent energy from production companies (without Boot) GWh 127427 137891 8.2 Total fuel consumption K toe 27430 29728 8.4 ● Production companies K toe 24698 27083 9.7 H.F.O K toe 5204 4560 (12.4) N.G K toe 19404 22458 15.7 L.F.O K toe 90 65 (27.8) ● Private sector BOOTs K toe 2732 2645 (3.2) Fuel consumption rate for Production company gm/Kwh gen 208.4 209.4 0.5 Fuel Consumption Rate including BOOTS gm/kwh gen 208.1 209.0 0.4 Thermal efficiency (Without private sector BOOTs) % 42.1 41.9 (0.5) N.G Ratio to Total Fuel Including BOOTs % 80.4 84.3 4.9 N.G Ratio for Power Plants Connected

  • Bio-Climatic Analysis and Thermal Performance of Upper Egypt “A
    ESL-IC-12-10-48 Bio-Climatic Analysis and Thermal Performance of Upper Egypt “A Case Study Kharga Region” Mervat Hassan Khalil Housing & Building National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt, P. Box 1770 E. mail: marvat.hassan.khalil@gmail .com ABSTRACT As a result of the change and development of Egyptian society, Egyptian government has focused its attention of comprehensive development to various directions. One of these attentions is housing, construction and land reclamation in desert and Upper Egypt. In the recent century the most attentions of the government is the creation of new wadi parallel to Nile wadi in the west desert. Kharga Oasis is 25°26′56″North latitude and 30°32′24″East longitude. This oasis, is the largest of the oases in the westren desert of Egypt. It required the capital of the new wadi (Al Wadi Al Gadeed Government). The climate of this oasis is caricaturized by; aridity, high summer daytime temperature, large diurnal temperature variation, low relative humidity and high solar radiation. In such conditions, man losses his ability to work and to contribute effectively in the development planning due to the high thermal stress affected on him. In designing and planning in this region, it is necessary not only to understand the needs of the people but to create an indoor environment which is suitable for healthy, pleasant, and comfortable to live and work in it. So, efforts have been motivated towards the development of new concepts for building design and urban planning to moderate the rate, direction and magnitudes of heat flow. Also, reduce or if possible eliminate the energy expenditure for environmental control.

  • En-10 Geochemical Characteristics and Environmental Isotopes Of
    Seventh Conference of Nuclear Sciences & Applications 6-10 February 2000. Cairo, Egypt En-10 Geochemical Characteristics and Environmental Isotopes of Groundwater Resources in some Oases in the Western Desert, Egypt EG0100098 M.S.Hamza, M.A.Awad, S.A.El-Gamal and M.A.Sadek Siting and Environmental Department, National Center for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Control, Atomic Energy Authority, 3 Ahmed El-Zomor St., Nasr City-11762, B.O.BOX 7551, Cairo-Egypt. ABSTRACT A study has been conducted using hydrochemistry and environmental isotopes (deuterium, oxygen-18 & carbon-14) on the Nubian Sandstone aquifer which underlies the Western desert oases. The concerned three oases (El-Farafra, El-Dakhla and El-Kharga) covers an area about 8000 km2 from the total area of the Western Desert. Seventy one water samples were collected from these three oases and subjected to both chemical and isotopic analysis to evaluate their groundwater resources. The hydrochemical data of these water samples reveals that thier salinity doesn't exceed 500 mg/I as well as the presence of marine and meteoric water types with different percentage. The mineralization of the investigated groundwater may be evoluated under flusing the original marine water entrapped between the pores of the aquifer matrix by meteoric water which is furthely modified through leaching, dissolution, cation exchange and oxidation-reduction processes. The investigated groundwater indicates some sort of quality hazards for drinking and domestic purposes due to the high concentration of both iron (agverage 6 mg/1) and hydrogen sulphide (average 2.5 nig/I ) relative to WHO standard. This water can be used safety for all kinds of livestocks.

Where possible names should be taken from official Arabic-language Egyptian sources and romanized using the BGN/PCGN Romanization System for Arabic5. Roman-script resources are often available for Egypt; however, it should also be noted that, even on official Egyptian products, Roman-script forms may be encountered which are likely to differ from those arising from the application of the BGN/PCGN Romanization System for Arabic.6 There are conventional Roman-script or English-language names for many places in Egypt (see ‘Other significant locations’, p12), which can be used where appropriate. For instance, in an English text it would be preferable to refer to the capital of Egypt as Cairo, and perhaps include a reference to its romanized form (Al Qāhirah). PCGN usually recommends showing these English conventional names in brackets after 1 The English language conventional name Egypt comes from the Ancient Greek Aígyptos (Αἴγυπτος) which is believed to derive from Ancient Egyptian hut-ka-ptah, meaning “castle of the soul of Ptah”. 2 ISO 639-3 language codes are used for languages throughout this document.

  • Kharga Oasis, Egypt: Key to Timing Transdesert Contacts in the Mid-Holocene
    Kharga Oasis, Egypt: key to timing transdesert contacts in the mid-Holocene Mary M.A. McDonald Assoc. Prof., Archaeology, U. Calgary, Calgary AB Canada [[email protected]] We have long known, through shared artifact traits, of ties across the desert from the Nile Valley to the west and southwest during the relatively humid early to mid-Holocene. What remains unclear is the exact timing of such links, and the nature of the entities involved in both the Nile Valley and the desert (Fig. 1). It was in the mid-Holocene that people in the Egyptian Nile Valley were moving towards cultural complexity, and one of the issues is the role that Africans from beyond the Valley may have played in the early stages of the development of the Egyptian civilization. Now a survey team from Yale University is demonstrating close links between Upper Egypt and Kharga Oasis in the Western Desert throughout the Predynastic. From Kharga Oasis in turn, we can plug into the detailed cultural sequence being built for the Central Western Desert through our work in Kharga and Dakhleh Oases. Thus we should be able to define much more precisely the nature of the relationship between the Valley and the oases to the west at this crucial time. Fig. 1. Map of Egypt showing location of places mentioned in the text. The work in the two oases is carried out through the multidisciplinary Dakhleh Oasis Project (DOP), on which I have served as Holocene Prehistorian since 1979, and the Kharga Oasis Prehistoric Project (KOPP), since 2000. In Kharga Oasis, we draw heavily upon the work conducted in the 1930s by G.

The Egyptian civilization is thought to have been begun in about 3150 BC until 31 BC. For the ancient Greek civilization, it started in the period of Minoan (ca. 3200 BC) up to the ending of the Hellenistic era. There are various parallels and dissimilarities between both civilizations. They co-existed during a certain timeframe (from ca. 2000 to ca. 146 BC); however, they were in two different geographic areas. Both civilizations were massive traders, subsequently, they deeply influenced the regional civilizations which have developed in that region. Various scientific and technological principles were established by both civilizations through their long histories. Water management was one of these major technologies. Accordingly, they have significantly influenced the ancient world’s hydro-technologies.
