Abstract

Three scenarios have been carried out to calculate the predicted maximum annual load for the Kingdom of Bahrain with the objective of formulating an expansion plan for a future generating system. The results of the three scenarios were obtained and compared using a comprehensive analysis. The maximum annual load was calculated at average rates of 6.79% in the more reasonable scenarios using the MATLAB package following the curve- fitting polynomial technique.
