How to Improve Power System Reliability in Ghana
Abstract: The prospects for nation building, economic development, industrialization, have made countries across the world to development reliable power systems for implementation. Power generation, transmission and distribution are capital intensive and require huge resources of both funds and capacity. In emerging economies like Ghana where funds availability is progressively dwindling, creative and innovative solutions are priority to address the power supply problem. The purpose of the paper is to highlight on the effect of power reliability on generation, transmission and distribution. In working towards proposing an effective power system reliability, current system technologies were reviewed. We look at the impact on development and economic growth. Improve methods have been analyzed as solution to determine how power reliability can be managed to maintain effective systems operation. The paper presents basics on how power system works, reliability effects, reliability assessment on power generation, transmission and distribution. its impact on the economy and development.
Keywords: reliability, distribution, transmission, generation
