      abstract = {The power flow investigation of Agip Estate Mile 4, 33kv Distribution Network was analysed using Newton-Raphson method was used for the power flow equation while Microsoft Excel was used to justify the current and Electrical Transient analyzer program (ETAP) software was used for the Pre-Upgrade and the Post-Upgrade simulation. The result shows that the power factor, frequency on each Transformers, transformer percentage loading,transformer current, active power, reactive power and apparent power, respectively were determined. The Pre-Upgrade current from Bus to Bus, the nominal voltage of the feeders, respectively was also considered. The post-upgrade of the system was actualized using transformer load tap changer optimization techniques. We concluded that the power system future planners should plan with best operating condition by up-grading the distribution transformers, using transformer load tap changer while feeder bifurcation were found to be effective in improving voltage profile of the weak buses, reduce losses and eliminate over loading from the system.},
