Tutorial:IEEE CSI Business Development Workshop Green Village Electricity Project;A Suitable Model for Reliable Renewable Deployment in Nigeria Ifeanyi B. Orajaka Green Village Electricity Enterprises, Nigeria.
Appraisal of the Nigerian Power Sector 1 Plant 3 Plants 7 Plants 3 Plants • Current Total Generating capacity 2600MWatts • Country Population 167Million People • % of Population connected to the Grid = 45% • % of Population below Poverty Line = 65%
Appraisal of the Nigerian Power Sector Cont’d USA = 12,406 Nigeria = 108 Ghana = 431
Why Solar For Nigeria? • Relative Availability • Grid Expansion Complexities • Long life span with flexible maintenance plan. • Environmentally friendly. • Decline in cost with improved R&D. • Improved Efficiency and Reliability • Easy Installation and Expansion
Project Overview • Project Goals/ Objectives • Current Status • Project Justification
Initial Project Technical Model Generation • 5KWatts of reliable off-grid Solar electricity to power about 20 homes. • 40 interconnected 210watts solar panels • 14 200AHR, 24volts deep cycle batteries • 5KWatts off-grid Inverter • 80 Amperes Charge controller • Remote Monitoring Facilities Transmission • Hybrid Mini-grid Network consisting of; • Ring Network: 30mm Armoured Cable, covers settlement perimeter • Serial Network: 6mm Armoured cable tapped from Ring to Nodes. Distribution • Star connection from Nodes to Houses • Wiring of individual houses • Isolator and emergency devices at designated locations. • lighting points and sockets for appliances
Modified Project Model Our Model is a micro-scaled renewable energy system to efficiently meet the energy needs of remote settlements at the most economic cost to suite their income levels while generating marginal profits
