EKWUEME_2018, title={Feasibility Study and Analysis of a Micro-Grid Scheme for Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria}, volume={4}, url={https://ijasre.net/index.php/ijasre/article/view/787}, DOI={10.31695/IJASRE.2018.32977}, abstractNote={<p>The need for reliable, robust, clean and secure electrical energy has led to developments in distributed off-grid solutions. This work considers various distributed generation sources such as; hydro, solar and wind, within the specified environment. Its aim is to ascertain the most feasible micro-grid solution for the specified campus environment. The work evaluates various micro-grid models to ascertain the most suitable model for the campus environment. HOMER micro-grid optimization software was used to aid the analysis. The micro hydropower plant at Otamiri River was found to be a good source with the power output of 586kW, and cost of energy per kWh of $0.284. Consequently, the model of the micro-grid was further analyzed in MATLAB/Simulink to determine the behavior of the system. The effect of load variation and short circuit fault was observed, and it shows the performance of the system to be stable. </p>}, number={11}, journal={ International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering (IJASRE), ISSN:2454-8006, DOI: 10.31695/IJASRE}, author={R.
