An analysis of the power sector performance in Nigeria

Expanding electricity access to all in Nigeria: a spatial planning and cost analysis

“…The NBS survey shows that almost 50% of the states in Nigeria have more than 50% of people without access to electricity, which brings to fore the challenge of lack of electricity access in various parts of Nigeria [7,8]. Private generators are also observed to be playing an increasingly important role in the electricity supply mix of Nigeria especially for the rich, as the number of private generators used to supplement Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) supply rose from 5.8% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2009 [6].…”

Optimization of a Grid Connected Photovoltaic System using Fuzzy Logic Control

“…Hence, it has become imperative to connect renewable energy to the grid. This could be used to enhance the power generating capacity in Nigeria [15]. Control of grid connected Photovoltaic system is essential in the Grid connected photovoltaic system due to its low efficiency [16].…”

“…Reference [8] presented a control system for Photovoltaic Systems with output change. Reference [15] proposed a method to integrate the photovoltaic system into distribution network operations. Reference [1] revealed that distributed PV generator could be used to enhance system stability by appropriate control.…”

“…By reviewing the (15), which is provided above, the relationship between the and in a matrix of solar cells may not be sufficiently accurate. Therefore, according to the (14), (15), and the structure of the photovoltaic array, the can be computed by using (16).…”

Gas flaring and its impact on electricity generation in Nigeria

“…According to Oseni (2011), the relevance of power sector to any industrial growth cannot be overstressed. For any industry to harness its full potential, power sector is pivotal and highly necessary for industrial growth.…”
