Reliability Evaluation Of Secondary Distribution System In Nigeria

-
A power system is set up basically to meet the demands of the customers.
However, interruptions which are largely unavoidable contribute to the
unavailability of power and thus prevent power system from achieving
this. In most cases, it is the sustained interruptions that greatly
affect both the utility company and its customers. Hence, it is
necessary to find means of determining which component failure
contributes most to the unavailability of the distribution system, and
how this unavailability actually affects the customers. This is to
enable system planners and designers to seek better ways of improving
the reliability of a typical secondary distribution substation system
having a single-end fed radial configuration. By using analytical method
and network reduction technique, the substation reliability was
analyzed based on the outage data gotten from the utility company. The
conclusion from this work shows that transformer failure followed by the
fuse failure contributes most to the substation’s unavailability. The
overall system availability shows that the system’s performance is poor.

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]In terms of reliability evaluation
and modeling, generating stations have justifiably received more
attention than the other systems because they are individually capital
intensive. In addition, in the event of generation inadequacy and
generation loss there is usually widespread catastrophic effects on the
society and environment. It impacts directly on the whole system and
even distribution system will not be able to perform its duty because
there will be no electricity to supply ... Continue reading---
