Description:
The problem of Renewable Dispersed Generation (RDG) and renewable resource harnessing in most cases, is not the inadequacy of resource distribution at a particular location but rather, it is the perpetually deprived exploitation of these resources. The existing dread for the performance of distributed generation systems that utilize renewable sources for power generation has crippled sustainable power generation expansion for several years. Hence, this study performs a practical assessment of the productivity of solar PV systems in Nigeria. In this study, five states with diverse geographical or meteorological data are selected from the cardinal regions of the country. These include Sokoto State (North West), Borno State (North East), Ogun State (South West), Rivers State (South South) and Abuja, the federal capital territory at the center. The global horizontal radiations available from the National Aviation and Space Agency (NASA) for these cities were used in simulating the p...
