Voltage collapse in the Nigerian National Grid is an undesirable phenomenon that occurs due to voltage
instability. Its occurrence is not frequent in developed countries despite their large and complex networks
(though it still poses a threat to the continuity of supply to consumers) but it occurs more frequently in the
power networks of most developing countries including Nigeria. Voltage collapses are highly catastrophic
anytime they occur. Some instances of power system collapse experienced in recent times across the Nation
have been reported, this put the Power Networks in Nigeria in a bad light. In a developing country like
Nigeria, the national grid experiences a high rate of voltage collapse leading to either partial or total system
collapse (blackout), which greatly 4 impairs socio-economic development and industrialization. This high rate
of system collapse is attributed to the fact that the Nigerian National Grid is weak and highly stressed, with
long and radial transmission lines, hence lacking flexibility When a voltage collapse occurs, restoration of
power may take a long time. I seek to develop a voltage stability index suitable for monitoring and predicting
incipient system voltage instability and the possibility of a voltage collapse event. The study will also identify
the weak bus and critical lines with respect to a bus in order to determine the optimum deployment of the
compensation devices and voltage collapse relays within the Network.
