![]() ![]() A sad day for local industry! and employment. ![]() There may be a better reason for doing that, but this is a blow to a country that seeks to develop industries and consumes what it makes. The government being the major shareholder with 55% stake, they remained a strong hope for cash injection but was never done. ![]() An institution that could employ about a thousand employees at the peak goes down. The results obtained suggest that the grid is healthy enough to accommodate the EGs with no quality issues.After 46 years of operation once a pride of the nation, Neoplan Ghana Limited, is to be shut due to financial challenges. Simulation results showed that EGs connection improved the voltage profile, for example, bus voltage at PTC 11 kV, improved from 0.881 pu to 0.958 pu while the total active power loss was reduced by 78.16%. The power quality issues considered in the study were bus voltage profiles and the total line losses. This was necessary so as to ascertain the healthiness of the existing distribution network for EGs integration. NEPLAN software was used to perform the load flow analysis with and without EGs connection on the network. The embedded generators considered comprised of gas turbine and diesel generators. This research focuses on power quality challenges that may arise as a result of network integration of embedded generation in a weak electricity networks using Ogba 33 kV injection substation as case study. Network integration of embedded generators (EGs) causes several regulatory, technical and economic issues. One of such options is the pattern shift from central power generation to embedded power generation. ![]() The deregulation of the Nigerian power sector has resulted in the quest to explore power generation options for power quality improvement. ![]()
