anyaekekehinde: Working in that sector for over 6 years though not an elect engineer, i learnt that one of the secondary reasons light becomes inconsistent during the dry season is because of heat. Conductors and transformers heat up that load has to be shed to control transformer/conductor temperatures and maintain efficiency. A 100mva trasnformer may take 90% of its capacity during cold weather but may carry 50% or less during heat periods. Even our cars experience overheating mostly in heat seasons when AC's are required. It means the capacity of the distribution and transmission equipment increases especially in this season (August and September which are the wettest months in Nigeria). I wont be surprised if they were able to get that on a very wet and cold day all over thw country. Lastly, when such a claim is made, it does not mean that the threshold was maintained over a long time. Its probable that it was for a second. Even that would be a record. Lets not be negative. 1 Like |

obailala:Prof,Power generation is different from power generation capacity. In load matching equation, Power Generated = Power demanded Prof , once again you dont generate electricity and through it into the ocean. You generate electricity to meet a demand. You can have 20MW generation capacity, but if the load to pick power is about 4MW, the power you generate will be around 4MW |
Re: Power Generation Hits All Time High Of 7001 MW by anyaekekehinde(m): 12:45am On Sep 16, 2017 |
Gamesmart:Simple, the turbines can actually give more but can't give more because of Transmission limitation. If your Turbine can generate 220MW but you are instructed to go on 100MW, because of Transmission Capacity limitation, your stranded generation capacity is 220- 100 = 120MW |

anyaekekehinde:I can generate 1000mw and not feed it to anything, it is called 'generation.' Nigeria could be generating 7000mw but may just have the capacity to wheel out only 5000mw, or 6700mw (which is reported as the current transmission capacity). I'm not sure I understand why this should even be a topic of argument. 1 Like |
Re: Power Generation Hits All Time High Of 7001 MW by anyaekekehinde(m): 1:38am On Sep 16, 2017 |
obailala: That is what you dont understand, you can't generate without not feeding it into anything. In Power system engineering, before you generate, there is someone downstream to consume it. When you say they generate 7000MW, it means the grid is drawing 7000MW from all generating stations. If anything happens or the grid develops fault. All those generating station will go off or Trip immediately. To even think you asked me to go to school over a topic you dont understand is sheer arrogance. |

anyaekekehinde: I may not be a power systems engineer, but I know I could turn-on my 10kw generator set and use it to power only a single 60watts light bulb. By doing that, I'd be generating 10kilowatts but consuming only 60watts, while the remaining power produced by my generator remains idle/stranded. Going by my So going by your explanation, are you by any chance implying there has never been a time when the GENCOs were generating more power than the TRANSCO could wheel out?... Of course if that occurs, the normal thing to do is to cut the excess supply by shutting off some turbines, but you seem to be saying it is practically impossible for the generating companies to (at any time) produce more power than the grid can handle. From what I read, the above scenario has been the recurring case in Nigeria's power sector for a while - the GENCOS generating a certain amount, but the TCN being able to wheel out only a fraction of what is generated while the extra power generated is left stranded and costing billions to the GENCOs. How exactly do you explain these reports below? https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/4991mw-power-generated-nigeria-stranded-gencos/ http://sweetcrudereports.com/2017/08/17/2000mw-stranded-in-nigerias-power-generation/ 1 Like |

Here in BTC (Benin City) it is still the usual 3hours daily (that is if there is light oo) & I was forced to abandon BEDC disco helded by one very greedy & wicked Funke woman that controls Edo, Delta, Ondo & Ekiti. I met a top staff who reveal all activities in that coy to me. She generates a whooping 3 billion naira plus from Edo alone & remit just 400million naira to FG. When I visited Ihorvor power plant in the state a friend there told me power has not shut for a minute in the last 5 months yet no electricity in Edo. The evil woman buys small energy or load & distribute to areas she felt has more mugus or fools, then schedule them into 3hours on 15hours off & some are 6hours straight & 3hours off. Some individual /coys are connected to special lines & that line enjoys at least 21hours straight supply in designated locations & yet you think this country is for everyone? At the end of the month she bills the 1-3 hours customers 5-10k. Many energy consumers have been turned into fools & you wonder if Edo people are not cowards & fools. I'm sure if BEDC headquarters was cited in Delta or southwest were she is from, her kingsmen would have diabolically nailed her or meet her waterloo in Delta state. Someone that opened her mouth to say the more they protest or mention her name on the radio or tv the more popular she becomes & nothing will happen. Many times she wouldn't pick load so that she can deceptively use power without paying. This is just 10% of her greedy business on this posts. If I reveal all,many of you may run mad. I pity the people in that state suffering in the hands of that woman even if I not directly affected but what about my fellow men & family members. Nothing can be best imagined than living in Egalitarian State |

obailala: You will struggle to understand the concept if you are not an Electrical Engineer. Let me see if I can help you with that 10kW generator example, though that is reciprocating engine, turbine systems are more complex than that. If you switch on that your Gen and your change over is off, you will discover that the current reading on your generator will be 0 Amps, Electrical Engineer call that case Running the Generator at No Load. The moment you switch your change over to Gen and you switch on your 60W bulb, that current reading will change from 0 to maybe 0.5 or 1 Amp , at that point , Technically, you start generating electricity. In simple terms, you have a 10kW "generation capacity", but you are only "generating" 60W of Electricity. each of the unit in egbin where I trained a bit is 220MW, when you run those 220MW turbine, it doesn't mean you are " generating " 220MW but that you have a generation capacity of 220MW, so you can be running 220MW rated turbine and be generating 50MW, and when you need more power, you increase the gas consumption to the burner system, generate more steam from the boiler and admit more steam into the turbine. |
