| The Right Power Solution for all our
communities |
| |
FUTURE PRESS RELEASE: |
|
We are seeking to partner with POWER
SYSTEMS corporations who are world leaders in building, operating and
maintaining world class POWER GENERATING facilities in a safe, reliable, stable,
environmentally and fiscally responsible manner without lowering the quality of
power generated and distributed for the various needs of the population and
industries served. We want to partner with corporations capable of offering
total expertise in this field and a comprehensive range of services regardless
of municipalities needs and location.
We are
committed to working with investors as partners, donors and NGO's to build a
prosperous Ijaw economy.
Using locally produced natural gas, these barges on the
Niger and Nun Rivers will generate enough electricity to meet the expanding
needs of area residents and to help fuel the various processing plants and the
petrochemical mining industry.
These barges to be furnished by Siemens - Westinghouse
will provide increased power generation to meet Ijawland's energy
needs.
The additional power will improve the
quality of life in Ijawland. Refrigeration of food, medicines, and infant
formula will be more widely available. The air conditioning of health facilities
and lighting for schools also will have a profound impact on the daily lives of
Ijaw people.
The generating capacity of the
power barges will facilitate industrial development which will enhance economic
growth in Ijawland. In addition to oil, gas, and petro chemicals, the additional
power will further the development of the yam, rice, cassava, sugar cane,
plantain, banana, palm oil, pharmaceuticals, and coconut
industries.
We welcome the opportunity to work with investors as
partners on this and other projects that benefit their businesses and improve
quality of life for the people of Ijawland and the Niger Delta.

Bayelsa Power and Light Breaks Ground on New
Generating Plants To Meet Customers
Needs
June 28, 2005
09:15:00 (GT)
Ijawnation: June 28, 2005. As part of its commitment to meet the growing
electricity needs of customers, Bayelsa Power and Light today broke ground
on four new power plants at the Abari Energy Complex, the Tungbu Energy
Complex, the Burutu Energy Complex and the Patani Energy Complex in Bayelsa
and Delta States. The new facilities will add 500 megawatts of generating
capacity by December 2010.
That's enough electricity to serve approximately 250,000 homes and businesses.
The new clean-burning natural gas-fired combined-cycle plant has a combined-cycle
block consisting of two combustion turbine (CT) generators and a system
for recovering exhaust heat from the CTs to produce steam, which generates
more electricity by sending the steam through a steam turbine. Thus, for
the same amount of gas, the combined-cycle plant generates about 50 percent
more electricity, making it highly efficient. The plants are to be equipped
with state-of-the-art emission controls.

Commitment to Excellence 10 Year
Plan Summary
- Bayelsa Power and Light must plan to meet customers' growing energy needs
with sound planning.
- Increased environmentally responsible generating capacity is a key to
sustained power output.
- Lower affordable rates, improved reliability and
enhanced customer service.
- A follow through on commitment to ensure a clean, reliable, cost-effective
supply of electricity for customers.
- Where possible, existing plant sites must be utilized to help preserve land
resources and minimize impacts on the environment.
- The commitment to increasing generating capacity to meet the energy needs
of UIS and provide
the power that sustains and grows the UIS economy.
- By the end of 2009, another 300 megawatts of new

- By the end of 2013, another 700 megawatts of new
generating capacity will enter service. (construction starts in 2010)
- Recognizing that expansion plans have an impact on the communities served by
adding not only power plants, but also power lines and wires needed to move
electricity from the generation sources to population centers. The willingness
to continue to work with municipalities, local governments, agencies and

POWER GENERATION |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
 |
A substation
is a high-voltage electric system facility. It is used to switch generators, equipment, and
circuits or lines in and out of a system. It also is used to change AC voltages from one
level to another, and/or change alternating current to direct current or direct current to
alternating current. Some substations are small with little more than a transformer and
associated switches. Others are very large with several transformers and dozens of switches
and other equipment. There are three aspects to substations: |
|
|
|
|
A step-up transmission substation receives electric
power from a nearby generating facility and uses a large power transformer to
increase the voltage for transmission to distant locations. A transmission
bus is used to distribute electric power to one or more transmission
lines. There can also be a tap on the incoming power feed from the generation plant
to provide electric power to operate equipment in the generation
plant.
A substation can have circuit breakers that are used to switch generation and transmission circuits in
and out of service as needed or for emergencies requiring shut-down of power
to a circuit or redirection of power.
The specific voltages leaving a step-up transmission substation are
determined by the customer needs of the utility supplying power and to the
requirements of any connections to regional grids. Typical voltages are:
| High voltage (HV) ac: |
69 kV, 115
kV, 138
kV,
161
kV,
230
kV |
| Extra-high voltage (EHV) ac: |
345 kV, 500 kV, 765 kV |
|
Ultra-high voltage (UHV) ac: |
1100 kV, 1500 kV |
|
Direct-current high voltage (dc HV):
|
±250 kV, ±400 kV, ±500 kV |
Direct current voltage is either positive or negative polarity. A
DC line has two conductors, so one would be positive and the other
negative. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Step-down transmission substations
are located at switching points in an electrical grid. They connect
different parts of a grid and are a source for subtransmission lines or
distribution lines. The step-down substation can change the
transmission voltage to a subtransmission voltage, usually 69 kV. The
subtransmission voltage lines can then serve as a source to
distribution substations. Sometimes, power is tapped from the
subtransmission line for use in an industrial facility along the way.
Otherwise, the power goes to a distribution substation. |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
Distribution substations are located near to the end-users.
Distribution substation transformers change the transmission or subtransmission
voltage to lower levels for use by end-users. Typical distribution
voltages vary from 34,500Y/19,920 volts to 4,160Y/2400 volts.
34,500Y/19,920 volts is interpreted as a three-phase circuit with a
grounded neutral source. This would have three high-voltage
conductors or wires and one grounded neutral conductor, a total of
four wires. The voltage between the three phase conductors or wires
would be 34,500 volts and the voltage between one phase conductor
and the neutral ground would be 19,920 volts.
From here the power is distributed to industrial, commercial, and
residential customers. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Underground distribution substations are also located near to the end-users.
Distribution substation transformers change the subtransmission
voltage to lower levels for use by end-users. Typical distribution
voltages vary from 34,500Y/19,920 volts to 4,160Y/2400 volts. |
|
Substations are designed to accomplish the following functions, although not
all substations have all these functions:
-
Change voltage from one level to another
-
Regulate voltage to compensate for system voltage
changes
-
Switch transmission and distribution circuits into and
out of the grid system
-
Measure electric power qualities flowing in the
circuits
-
Connect communication signals to the circuits
-
Eliminate lightning and other electrical surges from
the system
-
Connect electric generation plants to the system
-
Make interconnections between the electric systems of
more than one utility
-
Control reactive kilovolt-amperes supplied to and the
flow of reactive kilovolt-amperes in the circuits
