This project focused on electrical planning and design of an efficient and reliable 70MW power station with its own distribution network in Kiryat Gat, owned by OPC-GAT Ltd. Included in the project were transformers, transmission lines, and protection systems, for which we calculated and examined load distribution, voltage regulation, and fault protection to ensure stability and efficiency. We used the ETAP energy management tool to model different scenarios, assess network resilience, and test for energy losses and optimization. Economic factors, regulatory compliance with the Israel Electricity Law, and sustainability considerations were also examined. The project applied strategic planning, technological advancements, and innovative solutions in modern electrical infrastructure.

As global awareness of fossil-fuel pollution grows, the shift to renewable energy has increased. Wave energy offers strong potential, but faces the challenges of spatial demands, and intermittent output. This project designed a hybrid wave-energy system combining offshore point absorber buoys with an onshore sea-wave slot-cone generator (SSG) to enhance energy capture using complementary methods. To improve reliability, the system integrates seawater-pumped hydro storage for long-term retention, and lithium-ion batteries for short-term balancing. Power transmission and generation were optimized to increase efficiency. MATLAB/Simulink simulations were conducted to assess system performance, and a techno-economic analysis evaluated feasibility compared to conventional power plants. This integrated approach delivered a scalable and practical wave-energy solution supporting the global transition to sustainable electricity production.
