Abstract

Electric power is the bedrock of our modern way of life. In Nigeria, power supply availability, sufficiency and reliability are major operational challenges. At the generation and transmission level, effort is made to ensure status monitoring and fault detection on the power network, but at the distribution level, particularly within domestic consumer communities there are no fault monitoring and detection devices except for HRC fuses at the feeder pillar. Unfortunately, these fuses are sometimes replaced by a copper wire bridge at some locations rendering the system unprotected and creating a great potential for transformer destruction on overload. This study is focused on designing an on-site power system monitoring device to be deployed on selected household entry power cables for detecting and indicating when phase off, low voltage, high voltage, over current, and blown fuse occurs on the building’s incomer line. The fault indication will help in reducing troubleshooting time and also ensure quick service restoration. After design implementation, the test result confirms design accuracy, device functionality and suitability as a low-cost solution to power supply system fault monitoring within local communities.

Abstract

Internet data traffic monitoring and management are important requirements for ensuring top notch quality of service in a network. Data traffic logs contain useful hidden information that can be harnessed and interpreted as a resource for making informed network management decisions. In this study, logged internet data traffic for both the upload and download traffic in a university for one year was analysed using statistics and partial least squares approach to structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Time series plots, statistical properties and trends for each day of the week over a 51-week period were developed. The result shows that the most data was downloaded on Thursdays while the most upload occurred on Mondays. A path model was developed using Smart PLS3, and the performance of the model was evaluated using the construct reliability and validity of the model. The results reveal that the weekly variance is majorly accounted for by usage variations on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. An overall model R-square value of 0.876 was observed.
