Harnessing Hydropower Energy Devices for Nigerian Water Bodies
Abstract: Energy consumption in Nigeria is relatively high requiring alternative sources of power generation. In order to achieve a sustainable and renewable and cheap energy production, a decentralized energy generation is the clue as long distance transmission of this energy has proven to be unstable. A closer look on Nigeria’s hydrological map suggests the inclusion of the lower river basins into the energy generation plan. This makes the construction of a …
