The strategy of management of the existing capacity by proper illumination design and the use of energy saving devices in the residential sector is reported. Improper installation design and the use of all sorts of devices at homes has led to a lot of electrical energy wastages resulting in the need to increase the generation capacity. The study revealed that annual energy of 551.88kWh could be saved for a three – bedroom flat when energy saving fluorescent lamps were used. The corresponding naira savings was 2,207.52 per annum. In addition, the sizes of cable, fuses/circuit breakers required are reduced and hence reduction in the cost of installation. The paper advocates the need for proper design and installation of energy saving devices in homes. The paper will be of relevance to lighting installation designers, power systems engineers, power utility managers, and the general public.

Abstract-Frequency is one of the most important measures of the state of a power system, especially for structurally weak and rapidly growing power systems. Thus, frequency monitoring is a desirable practice to ensure reliability and provide data for analysis. This paper reports the joint work between Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to study frequency dynamics of a relative small power system. We describe the Frequency Disturbance Recorder (FDR) implementation experience at ATBU, Bauchi, Nigeria, and present analysis on the digital recordings obtained by the FDR. A proposal for a university-based frequency monitoring network for the Nigerian power system is also presented. Such monitoring system will allow further investigations on the Nigerian system and ultimately enhance the understanding of the dynamics and control of structurally weak and rapidly growing power systems found in many developing countries.
