A VISIT TO KAINJI HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION Electric system in Nigeria has four zones, namely; 1. Generation 2. Transmission 3.

Distribution and 4. Marketing

1.

GENERATION: It is further divided into two,

(i) Hydro and (ii) Thermal i. HYDRO: These stations rotate their turbine with fresh water as prime m over e.g.jebba, kanji, and shirroro power station. ii. Thermal: these power station uses gas and steam as prime mover e.g.j ebba (Lagos), delta (delta ugheli), and sapele (delta), and alpham. 2. Transmission: these are the body that carries electric power in Nigeria (330kv line is the system of operation) it is manage by transmission people. Th ey have rated feeders/circuit breakers. 3. Distribution: their own job is to connect to the line and also maintain the local substation. 4. Marketing : these are people that reads the meter and convert to naira HISTORY OF KAINJI HYDRO POWER STATION Kainji was constructed in Nigeria in 1950(ECN that wrote the management paper). They carried visible study from 1951-1961. They submitted their report 102km to Jebba town. In 1962 Niger dam authority was established and in 1968.Niger dam au thority appointed IMPREGILO man contractor, in 1964 his excellence Tafa Balewa l aid the foundation (9 other countries participated). General Yakubu Gowon commis sion the dam.89m pounds was loaned on commissioning the station. In 1976 they in stalled three stations 100mw. In 1978 phase two produce two more mega watt SECTIONS IN KAINJI Kainji is not just all engineering, but are divided into various section s. They are; (i).HYDROLOGY: They are water managers. (ii).DAMP INSTUMENTATION: They study geo-techniques. (iii).MECHANICAL ENGINEERING: They are for generation and maintainace. (iv).ADMINISTRATION (v).FINANACE/ACCOUNTING (vi).MEDICAL SERVICES (vii).ENVIRONMENTAL and (viii).PUPLIC RELATED OFFICE WORKING PRINCIPAL OF KAINJI DAM The base voltage in kainji is 16000v step down and33000v as step up at start gau ge. Kainji dam uses 15b cubic litres of water in the reservoir. They have 110dc from the battery band. They have inverter and converter; it converts dc to ac an

d ac to dc respectively. All what s the machine produces goes into the bushtop. Th e governor system is used to regulate the machine (turbine).it serves as the sal vo. There are two types of turbine; the analogue and digital type. They digital type is more preferable. Note: Water leakage causes heat and cannot generate mor e. The carbon (iv) oxide help against fire occurance.water is used to cool the o il through heat exchanger also cooling of the rusting bearing, service air tank. The oil of a transformer cools the transformer. There are about 1411.773m value s of water around. Electric crane uses electricity. Kaplan turbine can be adjust ed and Francis turbine is the biggest
