INVESTIGATING THE POINT OF LOADING POWER LOSSES ON A PRIVATE POWER NETWORK IN MOWE OGUN STATE, NIGERIA

Power losses in electrical networks are a significant concern for energy providers, as they lead to inefficiencies and increased costs. As Losses are inherent to the electrical power system, they cannot be eliminated. Still, they can be investigated to identify, analyze, and give recommendations on most of the major points of these losses. The private gas turbine power network in Redemption City in Nigeria is facing significant power losses due to its electrical grid with the distribution network encountering 55.2 % non-technical losses and 3.3 % technical losses in the year 2022. This study titled “Investigates the point of loading power losses on the power network of Redemption City, Mowe Ogun, State Nigeria” using field measurements, data analysis, and simulation techniques aims to identify the points of loading power losses and their contributing factors. The study evaluates the economic and social implications of these power losses and explores the potential solutions. The findings provided valuable insights into possible of mitegating losses on power network, which will be beneficial for policymakers, utility providers, energy sector and stakeholders, ultimately improving power distribution efficiency and reliability in Redemption City and similar urban areas with private power networks.
