Study on Voltage drop minimization at Wolkite University
(Wolkite University, 2019-06-14) Fikadu Tesfaye, Fikadu; Eyob Geremew, Eyob; Mubark Mossa, Mubark
The main aim of this project is to give reliable electric access to Wolkite University by minimizing the voltage drop and electric power interruption from the selected distribution network. All most all of the institution’s offices, cafe’s, lounges, library or lecture class and dorms use electronic equipment’s which needs to electrify for their efficient operations and also the institutes water source is electric power based. But due to some technical problems of the existing distribution network, they are exposed to a voltage drop. Even though there is high voltage drop and power interruption face the institute at different time, there was no any solution is found for the problem rather than using diesel generator. This work can solve such problems by using well designed installation and loss reduction method. The cause of voltage drop can be improper installation like: under conductor size, poor power factor, unbalanced circuit, distance from the distribution transformer, over loading or over load current on the selected power source, lack of load sharing system etc. So, this type of problem including power interruption can be minimized using the above two methods. In these two methods every important points and methods are identified well. For the success of this project and to analyses we have used commercial and popular w\power system software DigSILENT power factory 15.1
