A Critical Review of Grid Operations in Nigeria
نویسنده
چکیده
The grid is a network that connects all the major power stations and load centers in a country (or power system). The constraints to grid operations include generation, transmission, and system control. Remedial actions aimed at addressing these problems are presented. The high point of the recommendations is the adoption of “Distributed Generation Scheme”. In the absence of an accurate load demand, regional sales of electric energy were used to estimate regional demand for electricity. These were in turn used to decide location of new generating plants under the distributed generation scheme. (

Supervisory Control of a Hybrid AC/DC Micro-Grid with Load Shedding Based on the Bankruptcy Problem
In this paper, a supervisory controller is proposed to manage the power flow in a hybrid AC/DC micro-grid for both grid-connected and disconnected modes. When the hybrid AC/DC micro-grid is connected to the utility grid, power surplus or shortage leads to power trade between the micro-grid and the utility grid. In the grid-disconnected mode, the renewable power sources (wind and solar generatio...
