Rural Electrification Design

Bol

Electrical energy is the basic necessity for the economic development of a country due to its importance to human life and occupies the top position in the energy hierarchy. It finds innumerable uses in the home, industry, agriculture, and transport. This study is geared towards the analysis of a Grid-Based Rural Electrification Scheme for the Ekpe-Aggah Community in Rivers State, Nigeria. The method used in achieving this, relies on optimization principles based on iteration & analysis. The essential material used in the design of the distribution network is Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) technology which was used for the simulation. The results obtained from the analysis showcase a wide-ranging single-line diagram for easy implementation; other results obtained include, short circuit analysis carried out on Bus1, Bus2, Bus3, and Bus4 showing the fault levels of these buses to be 8.767MVA, 3.165MVA, 2.626MVA & 2.331MVA respectively and fault protection coordination was observed that at the occurrence of fault on any of the feeders, the affected feeder is isolated from the rest of the system through the fuse protecting that feeder.
