Low Voltage in Nigerian Power Systems: Causes and Remedies

A. E. Anyalebechi J. C. Onuegbu

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Electrical Engineering

DOI: https://doi.org/10.64388/IREV9I9-1715391

Abstract

This paper presents Low voltage in Nigerian power systems: causes and remedies. A comprehensive analysis of what causes low voltages (voltage sags) in the Nigerian power systems were explored. Remedies that could offer long term stability in the Nigerian power systems were proffered based on empirical knowledge and experience. Issues such as Generation-Demand Imbalance and Frequency Oscillations, Ohmic Losses in the Radial Network, and Bottlenecks in Distribution Infrastructure were thoroughly examined. The proffered remedies are very germane.

Keywords

Voltage, Power, Systems, Dip, Sags, Generation, Frequency.
