Analysis and Evaluation of Eket 132/33kv Transmission Station Loading Profiles for Consumer Power Utilization
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Power System
Abstract
Efficient electric power transmission is a major concern in Nigeria. Power supply from Eket 132/33kV transmission station has not been regular. This became a strong reason for analysis and evaluation of Eket 132/22kV transmission station loading profiles for consumer power utilization. The problem associated with this work is that there is always a over-loading of the network which has advert effect on the system under review. The load profiles were carried out due to several faults which were specifically in the network. The aim of this research work is to evaluate and analyse Eket 132/33kV transmission station, loading profiles for consumer power utilization. A performance evaluation of the Eket 33kV feeders using Newton Raphson load flow method was used to ascertain the status of the networks for improved performance. Load profiles for Onna 33kV feeder, Eket I 33kV feeder, Eket II 33kV feeder, Mbo 33kV feeder, Abak 33kV feeder and Etinan 33kV feeder are 95.9, 55.4, 146.8, 44.5 and 44.5. Onna load became insignificant and was recorded for 24 hours of the day. Simulation were carried out and results were obtained and presented on tables and in bar-chart which lead to proper discussion of the network. Finally, faults so far identified if well addressed will increase the load profiles of the station.
