Analysis of Nigeria Power System Voltage Collapse Incidences From 2000 To 2017
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 2
Abstract
The growth of any country depends on how effective their power sector is. Voltage collapse eventually leads to system blackout and this is a major concern for every day power system operations. The Nigeria National Grid experience an average of (28) system collapse every year over the past 12 years. In this paper the incidences of power system voltage collapse have been studied, analyzed and discussed. The paper also looks at the causes of the voltage collapses in Nigeria power system and proffer some possible solutions.The method used in this research involves data collection and analysis. The data comprise of series of voltage collapses in the Nigeria power Network. The data were analyzed and simulated using MATLAB application software. Results from the study showed that the Nigeria power system experienced the highest number of total system collapse of about 53 in year 2003 and least voltage collapse of 9 in 2014. There are also fears that the cases of collapse which went down in 2015 could be rising at present. In the first six months of 2017, 12 Total collapses and two Partial collapses had been recorded on the grid.Nigeria power system needs total revamping so as to decrease the economic impact of the high incidence of system collapse in the country.
