Optimizing the Use of Electrical Power in a Deregulated Power System

摘要

There is no doubt that the present power crisis afflicting Nigeria will persist unless the government diversifies her energy sources and adopt new technologies available to reduce energy wastages and save cost. This study identified the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels for street lights, employing new distribution automation technologies, adoption of demand side management and energy conservation measures and finally building environmental-friendly energy efficient houses. The study will be of benefit to the public power utilities and the general public to forestall future power generation shortages and reduction in costumer’s energy bills
