Research paper thumbnail of Systematic Review of Demand-Side Management Strategies in Power Systems of Developed and Developing Countries

Energies

Balancing electricity demand and supply remains a significant challenge for the power systems in ... more Balancing electricity demand and supply remains a significant challenge for the power systems in developing countries, such as Nigeria. In Nigeria, there is a shortage of adequate power supply, and demand-side management (DSM) plays a minor role in the power balancing mechanism with load shedding being widely used. The paper aims to review and compare various existing and emerging DSM strategies in developing countries. An extensive and systematic review was conducted to evaluate potential solutions using DSM to increase the overall energy efficiency in the Nigerian electricity market. This study found that, although the technical and economic potentials of DSM vary in developed countries, the uptakes of DSM have been severely hampered hence preventing the full exploitation and utilisation of the full potential of DSM. The initiatives of a DSM model in Nigeria and other developing countries can play a significant role in addressing demand and supply challenges but an upgrade of the ...

Public enterprises and the private sector cooperate in providing services and infrastructure through a variety of mechanisms. The level of performance and development of public enterprise in the country are very low due to corruption, management inefficiencies, overstaffing and inflation. This paper therefore in tend to highlight the different mechanisms of public private partnership (PPPs)

This increment results in transmission systems being pushed closer to their stability and thermal limit. This research takes a look at unified power flow controller (UPFC) which is a flexible alternative current transmission system (FACTS) device as a cost effective alternative to upgrading electrical transmission system infrastructure than the traditional form of constructing new transmission line.
