DESIGN OF AN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK WITHIN DAMATURU [ READ ]
Abba Muhammad Adua, Abba Lawan Bukar, Danladi Muhammad Garba
This project presents a novel method for designing of an electrical power distribution network within Damaturu town with highly accurate-efficiency. The design involves the task of designing a new electrical power distribution network that will be efficient and reliable. The town is been supply by 2 x 7.5MVA transformers which became grossly overloaded due to the frequent increases in demand because of the series of developmental projects. The capacities of all the transformers were taken and the percentage loading of the whole injections substation were calculated. Suggestion is being made as for the capacities of power transformers that can accommodate the future load to avoid any problem of power demand factor. The new design recommended to use 2 x 7.5MVA transformers, one transformer will supply the Alimarami Feeder while the other one will serves the Maiduguri road feeder thereby, tackling the problems of over loading on the installed injection substation transformers and the distribution transformers. The work recommended using 2 x 7.5MVA transformers at the injection substation. The project is designed in such a way that it has to be implemented at stages which gives wide choice of procedures.
