Improvement Of Distribution Power Stability in Nigeria: A Review of Kwara State Power System
Abstract
The Nigerian electric power system is being operated close to their capacity limits due to economic growth and environmental constraints. The constraints have led to voltage instability or total power collapse which has placed limitation to the power system operations. Thus, maintaining a stable operation of Nigerian power system is one of the main challenges of electrical power system operator in the country which is not excludes the Kwara State. Therefore, this study presented an alternative ways of improve the Kwara State electrical system stability through the application of renewable energy sources. The study would establish the power supply system's reliability and its ability to withstand energy growth in the state.
