POWER SYSTEM CHARACTERISATION OF THE NIGERIAN SHIRORO COMPLEX

The paper presents power system analysis of the Shiroro Complex using ERACS power system analysis software. The study was carried out under different loading and generation conditions, modeling philosophy, power flows and fault level. In all cases, the result obtained demonstrates the need for additional power generation facility and means of voltage compensation at receiving ends. For operational convenience and efficiency, this paper proposed regionalization in transmission and analysed one of the regions in Nigeria as a case study. This is to position the region as a suitable candidate for application of FACTS devices.
