2 Computer Operation and Data Analysis: MS Office Programming by using MATLAB Programming by using LabVIEW. Data modeling and analysis using SPSS. Prediction models using Artificial Neural Network. Solar energy applications software such as HOMER, PVWatts, PVSyst. Specialization and area of interest: Master in Electrical Engineering taken by research where the narrow specialization implies Transmission Pricing in Deregulated Power System. My PhD research was related to renewable energy specifically solar photovoltaic systems and its performance. PhD Research: Photovoltaic (PV) system comprising the PV modules and related control system is the sole means through which the solar energy is converted directly into electricity. The PV module is generally rated according to its maximum DC power output (Wp) which is obtained under Standard Test Condition. However, this condition is seldom encountered, especially in the high temperature and variable irradiance climate like Malaysia. On the other hand, in the actual operating conditions, the energy generated from PV module is sturdily influenced by surrounding climate; hence, a performance evaluation model for PV system is necessary. The research proposed a mathematical algorithm to calculate the hourly, monthly and annually expected PV system energy output, considering the actual PV module temperature (T m ) increase effect. The new algorithm was developed due to the limitation in the existing methodologies particularly the one used in Malaysia. The developed T m prediction model is based on the pre-processed hourly data measured for 9 months at the 92 kwp Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) GreenTech Malaysia, Bangi Selangor which includes T m, ambient temperature (T a ), solar irradiance (G), wind speed (W s ) and relative humidity (RH). The developed algorithm was compared to the model used by GreenTech Malaysia and validated with actual measurements. In addition, 5 years of hourly data for T a, G, and W s measured at 6 different locations in Malaysia obtained from Malaysia Meteorological Department were used for development of a solar radiation and energy output estimation models. The proposed energy model gave good results since it is closer to measured data compared to the PVWatts simulation tool. Results on the techno-economic analysis were also presented. The proposed energy output estimation

3 tool is expected to be useful for the PV system installer in the pre-installation phase in terms of feasibility and performance analysis of the PV system. The proposed tool can also be utilized for the PV power systems in the deregulated power market where the market is either on hour-ahead or a day-ahead basis. Brief about the area of study during Master Degree: Privatization of the electricity industry has taken place in many countries around the globe to improving energy efficiency, reducing cost and introducing competition among all transmission network users. In this environment, the most complex and controversial issue is the introduction of an efficient pricing strategy. It is essential for a power market policy to satisfy all its participants by having a fair and equitable transmission charge scheme. The major challenge in introducing a satisfactory pricing scheme is tracing users contributions in transmission line s flow in a fair and equitable manner. Reliability of different usage-based methods was tested for allocating the user s share in transmission flow. Meanwhile, the basic contribution of the master research is integrating a charge due to transmission losses into transmission pricing. As a basic need, transmission losses must be fairly allocated among the market participants. In this respect, performance of different loss allocation methods was critically tested and compared with a proposed loss allocation method. Generally, the research proposes a new scheme for allocating transmission network cost among pool market participants so that the recovery of transmission grid s cost can be ensured for the transmission network owner. The new scheme used DC distribution factors for assigning the actual usage and losses of the transmission network among generators and loads. The proposed pricing scheme was applied on 5-bus, IEEE 14-bus, and TNB-Malaysia 222-bus systems to highlight the merits of the proposed scheme over the one used in Republic of Ireland. Results showed that the proposed scheme provided more equitable signals for transmission system users relieving the transmission network. The merit lies on rewarding users for relieving the transmission flow and reducing losses. Forth year bachelor degree s project: Design of Low and Medium Voltage Distribution System for Alguarshah 800 residential units project, Alguarshah, Benghazi-Libya, 2007.
