Electricity: TCN moves to eliminate frequent national grid collapses with tech

TCN explained that the GLDS “plays a pivotal role in detecting and responding to sudden drops or dips in power generation across the network.”

The company, in a statement by its General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, said the new system, which was designed to empower the National Control Center, NCC, in Osogbo, provides grid controllers in NCC with advanced tools for real-time monitoring and analysis of grid performance.Data from the Independent System Operator showed that as at 2pm yesterday, only 17 of the nation’s power plants were on the grid, generating a total of 3,578.12MW.

“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. “GLDS incorporates sophisticated data analytics and machine learning algorithms to analyze real-time data and identify patterns associated with sudden generation loss. 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 IoT cloud servers, enabling a more rapid response and coordination of mitigation strategies. This connectivity underscores TCN’s commitment to enhancing grid resilience and ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of electricity to consumers across Nigeria.
