Abstract

The effectiveness and efficiency of Nigeria's power system are impacted by some inherent disadvantages of interconnected power systems, despite their benefits in providing mutual support during emergencies and gaining the financial advantage of new large-scale generation and transmission facilities. Practical experience with well-developed systems indicates that these disadvantages are quite noticeable. When a huge, linked system reaches a virtual elastic limit, it must collapse to preserve stability and dependability. The smart grid system is the answer. The idea, characteristics, and suitability of smart grids for developing nations like Nigeria are covered in this paper. New developments in Nigeria's electricity sector are also emphasized and spoken about.

Keywords

Interconnected system, stability, smart-grid, reliability, elastic limit
