Background of the Study
The power grid system is one of the most critical infrastructures that must be optimized for the efficient distribution of electricity. Power grids are often faced with challenges such as load balancing, energy efficiency, and fault detection. Classical optimization techniques may not always be adequate in handling the complexity and scale of modern power systems. Quantum computing, with its ability to process large datasets and perform complex computations more efficiently than classical computers, presents an opportunity to revolutionize power grid management. Techniques like quantum annealing and quantum optimization algorithms can improve energy flow, reduce grid losses, and enhance fault detection and recovery systems (Jones & Simms, 2023).
In Kaduna Polytechnic, Kaduna State, where both educational and technical expertise is cultivated, the integration of quantum computing in power grid optimization could serve as a transformative approach to addressing inefficiencies and enhancing power distribution. The application of quantum algorithms could help streamline energy distribution processes, improve grid stability, and ensure a more reliable and sustainable energy system. This study aims to explore the implementation of quantum computing techniques for optimizing the power grid system at Kaduna Polytechnic, ultimately contributing to the advancement of smart grid technologies.
Statement of the Problem
The current power grid systems are often inefficient and face challenges like load fluctuations, power loss, and suboptimal energy distribution. While classical methods have been employed to address these issues, their limitations have become more apparent as power systems become larger and more complex. With the introduction of quantum computing, there is an opportunity to address these limitations and provide solutions that classical methods cannot achieve. However, the application of quantum computing to power grid systems in Nigerian institutions, particularly in the context of Kaduna Polytechnic, remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate how quantum computing techniques can optimize the power grid system and improve its operational efficiency.
