This research presents a multicriteria GIS-based assessment of biomass energy potentials and the appropriate siting of biomass plants in Nigeria. The study applies the weighted overlay multicriteria decision analysis method. Crop and forest areas, settlement (energy supply areas), shrub/grasslands, barren land, water bodies, distance from water sources, road accessibility, topography, and aspect are the criteria that were considered for locating a biomass facility in this study. The results suggest that the theoretical, technical, and economical energy potentials of crop residues are highest in the NorthEast region of Nigeria and estimated at 1

One of the main concerns is how the penetration of the grid-connected PV systems would a ect the Mazoon Electricity Company's (MZEC) load behavior, especially at peak times. is paper presents the behavior of grid-connected loads considering the MZEC, which is one of the power distribution companies in Oman. e Al Bashir primary substation load distribution network was used as a case study. e MZEC peak load pattern was considered with respect to solar PV connection regulations in Oman. Furthermore, the various timings for electricity billing and the expected incentives were also used in evaluating the economical bene ts of integrating the solar PV systems into the power grid. Data were collected for two years for the feeder and distribution transformers in the power grid. e export and import average power generation within the period of the study were also investigated. e behavior of the grid loads was investigated before and after installing the PV systems. e variables of the average power, load import, and export for di erent periods were used to evaluate the system performance. e obtained results re ect that with proper synchronization of the solar PV systems in the power grid, the maximum load of the primary substation decreased from 80% to 40%, considerably saving cost. Consequently, more consumers could be fed with the excess solar power, with less distribution transformers in the power grid.
