Power supply from the national grid is inefficient and unreliable, hence the need to provide alternative
source of power. It is imperative that if the country is to be self-sufficient in power generation,
transmission and distribution, it must be based largely on indigenous engineering initiative and
researches to design, adapt, develop and manufacture local based renewable energy. This research work
was carried out at Federal College of Agriculture Moor Plantation Ibadan Nigeria and focus on a design
and development of campus reliable power system. Materials includes the power main, 5KVA
generator, solar energy panels, charge controller, power inverter, automatic voltage regulator and 12V
200Ah dry cell batteries. Four approaches were adopted to achieved the aim of the research work.
