Abstract— Realizing the factors involved in power system outages can be effective in reliability improvement. This paper analyzes the distribution power network outage data to find dominant factors in occurring vegetation-, animal-, and equipment-related outages. To decrease the outage detection. many lessons from the analysis of both sys-tem disturbances and blackouts. It is extremely important to analyze both to identify trends in system behavior that are initiating, causal, con-tributory, or merely coincidental. Those trends can help prioritize efforts to eliminate, or at least reduce. This study analyses the outage causes, their cost, energy loss, and duration of outages experienced by electricity consumers in the distribution systems of Lagos State.
