Understanding Electrical Power Grids

The term "grid" refers to the conductors and equipment interconnecting power sources to power loads in a wide-spread electrical system. Generating stations (i.e. "power plants") convert various forms of energy such as fossil fuel, solar, wind, elevated water, and nuclear into electrical power; which is then sent through step-up transformers to raise the voltage and reduce current

6 FAQs about [Niger power grid control system]

Are there any off-grid solar energy systems in Niger?

There is considerable experience of off-grid PV electrification, water pumping and solar water heating systems in Niger. Each of these will be explored below. The main decentralised renewable energy system being promoted in Niger for rural electricity is solar PV.

Does Niger need a grid?

In Niger, the grid offers a significant opportunity to broaden access to electricity, though formidable technical, institutional, resource and financial barri-ers remain. Less than 75% of people in urban and less than 2% in rural areas are served by the grid at present.

Can Niger achieve grid parity?

Solar resource conditions in Niger are excellent, so utility-scale and distributed solar power generation shows significant promise all over the country. In recent years, the cost of PV systems has fallen sharply, making it possible for grid-based PV to achieve grid parity.

Can wind energy be used for off-grid electrification in Niger?

Wind energy for electri-fication is a new area for Niger. However, it could be significant if the country is able to prepare the ground for investment. Using available data from Agadez (a north-ern urban area), a simple simulation was carried out to assess the potential that wind could play in off-grid electrification.

What is the institutional arrangement of Niger electricity sector?

The institutional arrangement of Niger electricity sector is depicted in figure 4. The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum is responsible for policy development and the Multisectoral Regulatory Authority is the independent regulator.

How can Niger improve energy access?

Broadening energy access is a central national development objective in Niger. At present, less than 25% of the population enjoys access to electricity, and the picture in rural areas is bleaker, at less than 5% electricity access. Generation of electricity through renewables has long been viewed as an important way to close this gap.
