TCN Gives Reasons For Thursday’s Zero MW by 9ousky: 12:27pm On Apr 02, 2016 |
By Chris Ochayi ABUJA - The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, yesterday, explained that the nationwide total system collapse experienced at 12:35pm on Thursday, was caused by the tripping of Osogbo/Ihovbor and Ihovbor/Benin 330kV transmission lines, which resulted in loss of 201MW generation from Ihovbor power station. The Management of System Operation/Market Operation (SO/MO) of the TCN, in a statement yesterday explained further that the generation and load imbalance that ensued, defined by sudden decline in system frequency, culminated in the Collapse. According to TCN, “Total grid generation at collapse inception was 3,196.0MW. The low generation at the time was due to shortage of gas supply to generators. “The transmission grid is characteristically susceptible to system collapses when generation is below 3,500MW and the available spinning reserve capacity is low. “TCN is working assiduously to consolidate the gains recorded in system stability, which is evident from the substantial reduction of system collapses from 22 in 2013 to 9 in 2014 followed by 6 in 2015. “A substantial number of these collapses are attributable to low system generation due to gas supply issues which impacts stability. TCN recalled that “The improvement in system stability is also evidenced by the fact that TCN has been able to wheel maximum energy of 109,372MWH on 2nd February, 2016 while the peak power transferred on the same day was 5, 074 MW. “The System Operator, TCN regrets the inconvenience caused by the collapse.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/04/tcn-gives-reasons-thursdays-zero-mw/[b]By Chris Ochayi ABUJA - The Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN, yesterday, explained that the nationwide total system collapse experienced at 12:35pm on Thursday, was caused by the tripping of Osogbo/Ihovbor and Ihovbor/Benin 330kV transmission lines, which resulted in loss of 201MW generation from Ihovbor power station.

The fellas above me sha, criticize constructively. The Nigerian Power and tranport Sector will continue to have problems. I just pity the Ministers in charge . 80% of the people in the power generating sector are not qualified to be there, that is a sector that needs instant overhaul. They need to realise that bigger don't always mean better. 2 Likes |

PMB is becoming too soft, in Barth Nnaji tenure, soldiers were deployed to protect these installations despite the rantings of the union then and power was so stable until the I.B. foolishly removed him when the generator and diesel suppliers were crying out. Its high time PMB used the military to fight these saboteurs. Democracy my foot. Nigeria needs its own brand of governance. We are too stubborn to govern. 2 Likes |

Goke7: That is not the job of the military, I agree with you that this regime is too soft, but some people are just boko haram in mentality, they don't mind this country suffering as long as this administration is disgraced even if it means their families suffering too. We have too many square pegs in round holes in the power sector and privatisation has not helped. Independent power generation and sale by mega oil companies should be encouraged. 1 Like |

Proudlyngwa: My guy there is no amount of independent power generation that will resuscitate the power sector, it will still be frustrated by the saboteurs who are well armed to forment trouble. Only military intervention can help, the forces behind power failure in Nigeria no be moi moi o, even a former minister once said that they are spiritual. Nigeria's problems are beyond wetin eye de see o. |

Goke7: That is why I said bigger is not better. If you have a stake in something, you will be forced to protect it. This guys are flaring gas, enforce them to buy gas powered generators, sell the power to the National grid, and let the Discos take over from there. Our power generation needs to first of all be in cells before batteries. I still stand on it is not the job of the military to protect power lines, we need to start being proactive not reactive. |
