Abstract | Electricity is a crucial component of sustainable development in developing countries, providing opportunities to supply low-cost clean energy to their populations. This paper presents a decision support tool for the Nigerian case, allowing users to rank different enhancement options to meet future scenarios. The tool enables feasibility checks on infrastructure capacity and can handle various generation options, including low-cost renewable resources. It is easy to use for non-experts and decision-makers and incorporates an optimal power flow algorithm to minimize costs. Demonstrated on a modified IEEE 30-bus system informed by Nigerian scenarios, this tool can provide policymakers with valuable insights for long-term investment decisions and facilitate the delivery of low-cost, clean energy to developing countries. |
