The aim of this analysis is to identify and prioritize the causes of failures in the supply of electrical energy to the Mbanza-Ngungu housing estate in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The context reveals recurring problems impacting the daily life of the inhabitants and the local economy. The problem focuses on the origins of the failures and how to prioritize them for effective intervention. The hypotheses envisaged technical problems (overloading of transformers and cables), and maintenance, consignment and work faults as the main causes. The objectives are to identify the major causes, assess their criticality using the criticality matrix, and prioritize them using the Pareto method. The methodology includes data collection, identification of causes, criticality assessment and prioritization of interventions. The final report will present the results of the analysis and recommendations for improving power system reliability.
This paper aims to explore the various perceptions regarding the origins of frequent electricity interruptions in the Mbanza-Ngungu housing estate.
By gathering the views of residents, the collection aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the potential causes of power cuts in the cité, with a view to improving network reliability.
Residents’ testimonies revealed that power cuts are caused by technical problems such as breakdowns due to outdated distribution equipment, overloading of HTA cables and network power transformers, as well as poor management of energy resources.
Subscribers also expressed their frustration at the slowness of local authorities to resolve problems linked to the supply of electrical energy in their community.
The article concludes that urgent measures need to be taken to solve the energy supply problems in the housing estate in order to improve the living conditions of the residents.
