The paper presents and analyses the main causes of high failure rate of Terminal Distribution Transformers (TDTs) in Kenya. These transformers are the most susceptible to faults emanating from lightning strikes and associated ...

The increasing power demand, the optimal use of grids, the need for economic efficiency, and the high costs associated with building new grids have created unavoidable challenges such as power line overload and excessive ...

The efficiency of electrical distribution systems is being more affected by the increase in voltage drops and power losses. These issues of voltage drop and power loss can be significantly minimized by the incorporation ...

The performance of electrical systems is becoming more affected by the increased voltage drop, power loss, and power quality problems. These issues can be drastically minimized by the incorporation of compensators in the ...

Power blackouts are experienced globally, more so with increasing load demand and ageing infrastructure. The high failure rate of conventional and adaptive load shedding techniques is prevalent during multiple contingencies. ...

Voltage collapse tends to occur due to the voltage instability created during large faults. As a last resort, under-voltage load shedding (UVLS) is performed after all the available power operation and control mechanisms ...
