The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has introduced the Generation Dip/Loss Detection System (GLDS) at the National Control Center (NCC) in Osogbo, which enables grid controllers to monitor and analyze grid performance in real-time, detect sudden drops or dips in power generation, and respond promptly to ensure stable power supply across its network.

Ndidi Mbah, TCN , General Manager, Public Affairs, made this known in a statement obtained by Advisors Reports on Wednesday.

According to her , the GLDS installed at NCC Osogbo provides advanced tools for real-time monitoring and analysis of grid performance.

Mbah said, “As TCN continues to make efforts to enhance grid management, its engineers have recently This new innovation stands as a testament to the Transmission Company of Nigeria’s (TCN) commitment to advancing grid management capabilities

“.Its intuitive interface allows for the setting of parameters, continuous monitoring of power generating stations, and comprehensive reporting functionalities, enabling swift responses to grid disturbances.

TCN further explained that the GLDS incorporates sophisticated data analytics and machine learning algorithms to analyze real-time data and identify patterns associated with sudden generation loss.

She confirmed that by leveraging anomaly detection techniques, GLDS can promptly alert grid controllers on deviations from normal grid behaviour, facilitating proactive intervention to prevent widespread disruptions.

Furthermore, TCN ensures seamless communication between GLDS and Internet of Things (IoT) cloud servers, enabling a more rapid response and coordination of mitigation strategies.

This connectivity, according to Mbah, underscores TCN’s commitment to enhancing grid resilience and ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of electricity to consumers across Nigeria.

 

Advisors Reports gathered that the TCN engineers had previously developed an in-house design that leverages on IoT technology as an innovative solution in response to the challenge of limited visibility of power generators.

 

TCN said, “The IoT devices, which were strategically deployed across power stations and some substations, facilitate the collection of near real-time data, including power generation levels and grid performance metrics.

 

“The IoT enabled the expansion of visibility of power generating stations from 6 to 27, this has helped TCN significantly improve its ability to monitor grid load and identify potential issues before they escalate.

 

Mbah therefore confirmed that the IoT device was also used to capture generation from Taopex Gs and Zungeru Hydro Power Station, bringing the total number of power stations visible to the National Grid to 29.

 

The TCN’s spokesperson further emphasised that the GLDS and the IoT represent a significant step forward in bolstering grid stability and reliability.

 

She added that the initiatives not only empower TCN’s grid controllers with the insights needed to proactively address challenges and minimize disruptions but also demonstrate TCN’s dedication to meeting the evolving demands of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
