Protection of Terminal Distribution Transformers: A Case Study of Kenya Power
(IEEE, 2018)
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 ...
GENCO Optimal Bidding Strategy and Profit Based Unit Commitment using Evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization Illustrating the Effect of GENCO Market Power
(Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2018)
In deregulated electricity markets, generation companies (GENCOs) make unit commitment (UC) decisions based on a profit maximization objective in what is termed profit based unit commitment (PBUC). PBUC is done for the ...
Optimal Sizing and Placement of Solar Photovoltaic based DGs in the IEEE 9 bus system using Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
(2018)
Solar energy is one of the most commonly exploited renewable resource globally. Integration of power from solar to the main grid can either bring positive or negative impact which normally depends on their size and location. ...
Dynamic Voltage Stability Analysis on Shore-to-Ship Power Connected System
(International Research Publication House, 2018)
The shore to ship power connection is a technology that has been recommended as one of the ways that will help reduce emissions from marine vessels which have increased in number as a result of rapid growth in international ...
Optimal Switching Sequence using a Metaheuristic Algorithm for Feeder Reconfiguration
(International Research Publication House, 2018)
Electrical energy is continuously lost due to resistance in the power system networks. Distribution system experience enormous power losses as compared to the rest of the network. Solutions that reduce distribution power ...
The use of RC4 Encryption to Provide Privacy for Smart Meters
(2018)
The electrical power grid is undergoing improvements and is being transformed to the Smart Grid. Smart Grid uses two-way power and information flow to better monitor, plan and control the electrical power grid. Advanced ...
A Review of Approaches to the Quantification of Operating Reserve requirements in Systems with Large Scale Wind Power Integration
(2018-05)
The need to diversify power generation sources, increase security of supply, incorporate sustainability in energy sources and reducing fuel usage and emissions has significantly led to the integration of variable renewable ...
