HYDROPOWER POTENTIAL MAPPING OF NIGER STATE
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper provides an evaluation and mapping of hydropower potentials in Niger State. The aim of the study was to evaluate and map the renewable energy potentials in Niger State with the objective of assessing the hydro energy that can be harnessed for national development. An automated interpolation computer program (Surge) was used to produce hydropower potential maps. The Hydro power potential data were obtained from Nigeria Hydrological Service Agency (NIHSA), Abuja. The analysis of the data indicates that the existing large Dams in the state have a total capacity of 22,880 Mm3 and total output power of 1840 MW. The proposed large dams in the state have a total capacity of 30,232 Mm3 with output power of about 2431MW, while the proposed medium and small Dams indicate a total capacity of 750 million Mm3 and output of 60 MW. The hydro potential map produced using the software shows the locations of the prospective medium and small dams.
