Economic Analysis and Potential Feed‐in Tariff of Grid‐Connected PV Systems in Nigeria
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study presents a feasibility study of grid‐tied PV system in selected locations across the country with focus on cost of energy produced and incentives such as feed‐in tariff and investment support. Based on the study locations and assumptions used in this study, it was estimated that the annual energy generated by the PV system varies between 2885 kWh in Port‐Harcourt in southern region and 4391 kWh in Isa in northern region. The optimal simulation results reveal that the levelized cost of energy varies from one location to another: highest in very low‐energy site (Port‐Harcourt) and lowest in the very high‐energy (Isa). In addition, it is estimated that the feed‐in tariff varies between N76.54/kWh (or US$0.4556/kWh) in Port‐Harcourt and N50.25/kWh (or US$0.2991/kWh) in Isa. It was further observed that the ratio of levelized cost of energy to current electricity tariff is least at Bauchi with a value of 1.22 and highest in Ikeja with a value of 2.95. Consequently, it would easier to sell solar PV idea to individual in Bauchi than those in Ikeja to invest in solar PV. Some of the benefits and potential challenges of implementing feed‐in tariff in Nigeria were also presented. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 36: 305–314, 2017

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
