Abstract

The over-dependence on rainfall agriculture is affecting crop production in Nigeria today, reducing crop yield and keeping farm output below demand. Irrigation farming is insurance for rain-fed agriculture even during the rainy season. The target site is Jos, Plateau state, with wind speed potential of 3ms-1 to 9.37ms-1 all year round, making it viable to generate power for pumping irrigation water. And also, the nature of the terrain which will enable or support the pump hydro storage technology. In this work, the focus is on the feasibility of a wind-powered pump hydro storage scheme for smart irrigation systems. This provided weekly irrigation water. The wind turbine farm can generate electric sufficient power to pump water from a lower reservoir to a higher head reservoir and also charge a batstery bank. At the time of irrigation, water is released from the higher reservoir through a series of control valves installed in the farm. The battery storage was used as a power source for the irrigation control system which uses the microcontroller to monitor and control the farm parameters using soil moisture sensors, a water level sensor for the upper reservoir, and the outlet valve. This system is expected to be fully automatic. The raw wind data collected was upgraded from 10m to a hub height of 50m to improve power generation. The wind turbine (S3-1000-B8) generates power to pump the minimum amount of water of 8.7m3 and a maximum of 176m3 per week. The power generated from the wind by this turbine was determined using polynomial regression which makes it suitable for this work. Twenty (S3-1000-B8) wind turbines were used to supply 180m3 of irrigation water required per week to irrigate 10,000m2 of farmland. For a one-month safe irrigation period, 720m3 of storage water is needed. From the wind potential, a single wind turbine can generate an average energy of 16kWh in a month and pump 234.864m3 of water. Therefore, in total the wind form will generate 336kWh and pump equivalent of 4,932m3.

Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive approach to the modeling, simulation, and analysis of single line-to-ground (SLG) fault detection in high-voltage power transmission systems. A dual-unit detection system was developed, integrating a MATLAB/Simulink-based simulation model with a microcontroller-based hardware unit for real-time fault identification and communication. The simulation model replicates the behavior of a 132 kV transmission line under various SLG fault conditions, while the hardware unit employs voltage and current sensors connected to an Arduino Uno and GSM module to detect faults and transmit location alerts. Experimental procedures included controlled fault injection, waveform analysis, and algorithmic fault distance estimation using zero-sequence currents and voltage dips. Simulation outcomes demonstrated high location accuracy, with error rates consistently below 0.75% across a fault distance range of 30–300 km. The system exhibited fast response times, high precision, and cost-effectiveness, indicating strong potential for deployment in power grids of developing regions. The integrated software-hardware architecture offers a scalable and efficient solution for minimizing downtime and enhancing fault response coordination in transmission networks.

Abstract

This study presents the design and analysis of a 5 kW solar tree system tailored for residential applications in Bauchi State, Nigeria, offering a cost-effective and space-efficient renewable energy solution. Aimed at meeting a daily energy demand of 30,000 Wh, the system is optimized based on the region’s solar irradiance levels. The design incorporates essential components, including photovoltaic (PV) modules, a charge controller, a battery bank, an inverter, and a structurally robust steel support framework. Performance evaluations indicate an operational efficiency exceeding 86% and annual electricity cost savings of approximately $1,415. Structural validation using engineering analysis yields a safety factor of 2.85, confirming the system's resilience to wind loads and environmental stresses. The study underscores the potential of solar tree systems to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to Nigeria’s broader transition toward sustainable energy infrastructure.
