Abstract
The application of electronics non-linear devices in the utilization of electrical energy has continued to witness unprecedented growth. To conserve energy, reduce cost and environmental pollution; electronics solutions are employed globally. However, the negative impact of these devices on the power system as a whole has been attracting attention. This is because they degrade the quality of the power network by distorting the waveforms. This paper highlights this growing trend and call for concerted efforts to mitigate the problems. As a case study, a survey was carried out at the Information Technology Centre (ICT) of the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro Ogun State, an environment dominated with the non-linear devices with a view to ascertain the level of penetration of these devices in the distribution system. The result shows that the percentage of non-linear loads is increasing and calls for attention. Adequate measures to mitigate their impacts are highlighted.
