Performance analysis of the Nigerian 132kV pre and post reform network.
Аннотация
This paper examines the efforts of the Nigerian Government to revamp the power sector by analyzing the sector’s performance before and after the reform. Specifically, it focuses on the 132 KV transmission network, comparing its pre-reform and post-reform states. The analysis involves conducting a load flow study on the post-reform network using the Newton-Raphson algorithm.
Computer programs were developed in MATLAB to perform this analysis, utilizing data obtained from the Afam and Oshogbo Control Centers. Key parameters evaluated include voltage magnitude and phase angles at the buses, real and reactive power flows, power dispatched and received on the lines, as well as power losses.
The results of the load flow analysis indicate that the post-reform transmission network performs significantly better than the pre-reform network, exhibiting improved voltage profiles and reduced transmission losses.
