The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) says it has deployed a Generation Dip/Loss Detection System (GLDS) which detects and responds to sudden drops or dips in power generation.
The TCN General Manager, Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
Mbah noted that the deployment of the GLDs was part of the company’s efforts to enhance national grid management.
She stated: “As TCN continues to make efforts to enhance grid management, its engineers have recently deployed the GLDS which plays a pivotal role in detecting and responding to sudden drops or dips in power generation across the network.
“This innovation stands as a testament to TCN’s commitment to advancing grid management capabilities.
“Designed to empower the National Control Centre (NCC) in Osogbo, GLDS provides grid controllers in NCC with advanced tools for real-time monitoring and analysis of grid performance.”

The TCN spokesperson said the technology’s intuitive interface allows the setting of parameters, continuous monitoring of power generating stations, and comprehensive reporting functionalities, enabling swift responses to grid disturbances.
She noted that the GLDS incorporates sophisticated data analytics and machine learning processes to analyse real-time data and identify patterns associated with sudden generation loss.
Mbah added: “By leveraging anomaly detection techniques, GLDS can promptly alert grid controllers on deviations from normal grid behaviour, facilitating proactive intervention to prevent widespread disruptions.
“TCN ensures seamless communication between GLDS and Internet of Things (IoT) cloud servers, enabling more rapid response and coordination of mitigation strategies.
“This connectivity underscores TCN’s commitment to enhancing grid resilience and ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of electricity to consumers across the country.”
Mbah further stated that these initiatives would empower TCN’s grid controllers with the insights needed to proactively address challenges and minimise disruptions.
