Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the leading exploration and oil & gas production company in the Sultanate of Oman, will use the GE Vernova Advanced Energy Management System (AEMS) to support its sustainability goals. AEMS is designed to empower PDO to plan, control, and optimize renewable power generation to help keep its oil production plants operating reliably and efficiently.
“Our goal is to meet our electricity needs and support a stable grid. To do that, we needed an effective system management that allows us to be proactive,” said Zahir Al-Busaidi, Infrastructure Power Systems Department Manager for Petroleum Development Oman.

Optimize Microgrid Network Operation and Maximize Renewable Energy
PDO delivers most of the country of Oman's crude oil production and natural gas supply. The company runs its own electric network – a microgrid – to serve its business. A microgrid is a local controllable grid which can run autonomously from the main grid. By using a microgrid, PDO can be more resilient, potentially lower costs, and run more efficiently. Conversely, when connected to Oman’s main grid, PDO can supply power back to the country.

PDO strives to operate in an environmentally responsible and sustainable fashion. To be a more sustainable business, PDO has launched a Lean program to streamline operations, cut waste, eradicate inefficiency, and avoid duplication of activities.
GE Vernova’s AEMS is designed to integrate with electric utility functions, such as plant and field management, asset and maintenance management, IT internal services, security services, substation automation systems, HVDC line control, power plant control systems, and other EMS interchanges. It is natively integrated to the GE Vernova Renewables & DER Orchestration solution and Wide Area Management System (WAMS) software which are expected to become essential solutions for PDO as they progress in their renewable journey.
