Abstract

This study of the Electrical Load Evaluation in Igwuruta, Port Harcourt for improved distribution. Electrical load analysis identities potential problems in the distribution network such as energy usage, harmonic inference, unexpected spikes that a visual inspection alone may not identify. The 33KV Old Airport feeders that supply electricity to Igwuruta, Port Harcourt was critically examined in this study. This study used Electrical Transient Analyzer Programme (ETAP) and from the simulation, the existing distribution network had overloading of transformers and low voltage profile. To solve the problems, optimal capacitor bank of 48000KVR were introduced to the entire system network to improve voltage performance and voltage upgrade on the distribution network. The simulation of the improved distribution network shows that the voltage profile has improved with the statutory limit between 95% -105% and by the penetration of the capacitor bank in the network, the voltage was improved by 18.4% bus 2, bus 3: 18.4% and bus 27: 5.96% and all the transformer were within the normal operating condition.
