Constraint satisfaction model for efficient electricity distribution in Port Harcourt City

Abstract

Efficient electricity distribution and utilization is a challenge in developing cities like Nigeria. The purpose of this research is to model constraint satisfaction in electricity distribution in Port Harcourt city which have two distribution feeders located at CFC Bus stop and Trans Amadi area of Port Harcourt City. The research adopted constructive design and object oriented methodologies. Bayesian network was used in the distribution of (energy) electricity to critical, commercial and residential areas. Voltage distribution were analyzed in percentage, constrain satisfaction, using Bayesian model and it effectively distributed 59kv to critical areas, 30kv to commercial areas and 11kv to residential areas during working hours of the week days. Result shows that applying optimization scheduling distribution was efficiently implemented with maximum satisfaction.
