Abstract

This study explores the impact of smart grid technologies on the modernization of power grids in response to evolving energy demands and the integration of renewable energy sources in Nigeria. It aims to empirically assess advancements in smart grid technologies, focusing on four key objectives: eval_uating the impact of smart meters on energy consumption and peak demand reduction, analyzing the effectiveness of Advanced Distribution Management Systems (ADMS) in enhancing grid reliability and efficiency, assessing the role of demand response programs in balancing supply and demand, and examining the integration and management of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) within smart grids. The research employs a quantitative methodology, collecting and analyzing data from utility companies that have implemented smart grid technologies. Key findings reveal that smart meters significantly reduce energy consumption and peak demand by providing real-time monitoring, while ADMS improves grid reliability and operational efficiency through enhanced fault detection and automated control. Demand response programs effectively balance energy supply and demand, reducing peak loads and energy costs. The integration of DERs increases renewable energy utilization and grid stability but also presents challenges related to variability in power output and management complexity. The study concludes that smart grid technologies play a crucial role in achieving a more resilient and efficient power grid, though addressing challenges related to DER integration and system management is essential for maximizing their benefits.

Abstract

The main aim of the study was to investigate the integration of technical studies into elementary (primary) education as a pathway to holistic learning in Nigeria. The population of the study was 291,015 comprising 18,796 public primary school teachers, 268,430 parents, and 3789 Education Supervisors from the Ministry of Education in the six states of the Northeast.  The study adopted Simple random sampling and a sample size of 379 respondents was determined using Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) sample size table. A structured questionnaire was utilized to gather data for the study. The questionnaire was validated by three experts and a reliability index of 0.86 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha after a trial test. The data for the study was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions while ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that technical studies for Nigerian primary schools should include Digital Literacy, Engineering and Design, Digital Creativity, Applied Science and Technology, and Computational Thinking and Problem Solving Technical studies are instrumental in enhancing pupils' skills across various domains, aligning with educational research that emphasizes their practical benefits Technical studies are instrumental in enhancing pupils' skills across various domains, aligning with educational research that emphasizes their practical benefits.
