Jordan is one of the leading countries in the region in renewable energy (RE) adoption and clean energy growth. Solar or wind energy powers approximately 29 percent of the electricity grid and Jordan aims to reach 50 percent of electricity from renewables by 2030 through a focus on smart grid development and. . Jordan has medium- and long-term potential as an energy producer of non-conventional and RE. The following are potential opportunities that are either in process or in. [pdf]
Interviewed by The Jordan Times, officials and experts underlined the need to utilise high technology to store energy produced from renewables, be they solar or wind. Acknowledging that Jordan has achieved “tremendous” progress in the renewable energy sector, other experts called on the government to extend more incentives to businesses.
AMMAN — Jordan has secured a pioneering status in renewables, yet it is still facing a major challenge: Energy surplus. Interviewed by The Jordan Times, officials and experts underlined the need to utilise high technology to store energy produced from renewables, be they solar or wind.
More than 20 percent of the electricity grid in Jordan is powered by solar or wind energy, with a target of 31% by 2030. Exceeding this percentage will be challenging for Jordan unless storage solutions are implemented.
It envisions that by the end of 2030, 48.5 percent of the country’s electricity generation would come from local energy sources. Jordan has long-term potential for additional RE, enjoying an average of 316 sunny days per year, having wind speeds ranging between 7 and 8.5 m/s, and having large desert areas with a low population.
Energy Technologies: Jordan is exploring energy storage solutions, which may also present opportunities for the U.S. energy sector. Technologies and services related to efficiency gains, including smart metering and grid management, may also find opportunities.
Jordan’s solar and wind energy have been the most prevalent, accounting for nearly 20 per cent of the country’s electricity grid, according to the International Trade Administration’s website.

The microgrid in grid-connected mode should operate in constant P–Q mode. Thus the inverter is operated in constant current control mode using d–q-axis-based current control. Consider the inverter model as s. . The current controller should be designed in such away that it has a high bandwidth so that speed of response is large. But the gain provided by the closed loop system at switching frequen. . Before the voltage controller can be designed the plant transfer function on the DC side needs to be determined, which relates the ac and dc side inverter currents. The power balan. . When the grid is removed an active and reactive power mismatch occurs at the load terminal. Because of the difference between load and generation, the load voltage and/or fre. . The droop controller slopes can be decided based on the ratings of the inverters and acceptable voltage and frequency limits . Over the rated power range of any inverter the frequency var. [pdf]
The transition between grid-connected and islanded mode in a VSI-fed system is carried out in a systematic manner as detailed in this paper. During grid-connected mode, the inverters are modelled as sources supplying constant real and reactive power (P– Q) using d–q axis current control.
The control schemes for grid-connected and islanded modes in a VSI-fed system are explained in the subsequent sections. During grid-connected mode, the microgrid should operate in constant P–Q mode, and the inverter is operated in constant voltage, constant reactive power (V-Vr) control. (2.1 Control scheme during grid-connected mode)
In a grid-connected microgrid, the sources are controlled to provide constant real and reactive power injection. In contrast, during islanded mode, the sources are controlled to provide constant voltage and frequency operation. Special control schemes are needed to ensure smooth transition between these modes.
This paper investigates the operation of microgrid during transition from grid-connected to island mode and vice versa with inverter-based DG sources. A systematic approach for designing the grid connected and island mode controllers is described. Contributions of the paper are the following:
Sometimes the islanded mode controls may become more complex than grid-connected mode controls. The control, protection and stability issues, being much different from those of the conventional power system, open up new prospects of research in this field.
The microgrid in grid-connected mode should operate in constant P – Q mode. Thus the inverter is operated in constant current control mode using d – q -axis-based current control. Consider the inverter model as shown in figure 1 b along with the filter.

Lithium Ion Batteries Hazard and Use Assessment Phase IIB - Flammability Characterization of Li-ion Batteries for Storage Protection This report presents the results of Phase II of the project which is a comparative flammability characterization of common lithium ion batteries to standard commodities in storage.
A push to include lithium ion battery storage in NFPA 13 prompted this study. It included tests of batteries and comparable general stored commodities in cartons when exposed to an ignition source. Kathleen Almand explains the rationale behind the tests as well as the testing procedures and the encouraging conclusions. Phase I
Some battery types and arrangements represent less of a fire hazard than others. Indeed, some manufacturers claim that their lithium-ion chemistries, along with their monitoring systems, greatly reduce the potential for thermal runaway, which is an uncontrollable self-heating state.
It lays out a research approach toward evaluating appropriate facility fire protection strategies. This report is part of a multi-phase research program to develop guidance for the protection of lithium ion batteries in storage.
Phase I Lithium-Ion Batteries Hazard and Use Assessment The first phase of the project, described in this report, is a literature review of battery technology, failure modes and events, usage, codes and standards, and a hazard assessment during the life cycle of storage and distribution.
As stated earlier, most applications for the indoor storage of lithium-ion batteries greatly differ from one another. In addition, battery and EV manufacturers are investing heavily in R&D, so the variations and energy densities are likely to further increase in the coming years.
