Power system transient stability enhancement with application of SSSC and IPFC facts devices
(2015)
The complexity due to massive growth of power systems has to increased demand of electrical energy giving rise to numerous stability challenges. In these situations, Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) ...
Profit based unit commitment using evolutionary particle swarm optimization
(2015)
The profit based unit commitment (PBUC) problem determines an optimal unit commitment schedule for a generation company (GENCO) participating in a deregulated environment
with the aim of maximizing its profit. This is ...
Key Generation for Electrical Smart Meters using Hash Functions
(2019)
The electrical power grid has been undergoing improvements to turn it into a more efficient system known as the Smart Grid. A key element in this upgrade is the Smart Meter. A compromise on the cyber-security of the smart ...
Application of Spritz Encryption in Smart Meters to Protect Consumer Data
(2019)
The ongoing upgrade of the electrical power system into a more powerful system known as Smart Grid has both benefits and costs. Smart Grid relies on advanced communication and hence offers better services through improved ...
A neuro fuzzy model of an induction motor for voltage stability analysis using continuation load flow
(2011)
This paper uses the concept of the continuation power flow analysis used in voltage stability analysis.It uses the continuation load flow to plot the PV (pressure-volume) curves of an induction motor load. A neuro-fuzzy ...
Suitability of aggregation methods of induction motor models for transient stability load modeling of Kenya power transmission and distribution system
(2010)
Current trend indicate that there has been increase on power outage frequency. This has partly been as a result of unstable power system with very small security margin of operation. Therefore, this paper focusses on the ...
Voltage profile improvement using switched capacitors: case of single wire earth return distribution network
(2017)
Most rural areas in Africa are characterized by scattered villages with a very low demand in electricity. Due to improper planning and lack of knowledge on low cost technologies, the cost of extending the grid to supply ...
Dynamic voltage stability analysis of the kenya power system using vcpi stability index and artificial neural networks
(2014)
Dynamic voltage stability deals with the voltage levels and how they’re affected by either faults or load changes within the system. Voltage instability has long been suspected in the voltage collapse and islanding of power ...
Optimal under-voltage load shedding using cuckoo search with levy flight algorithm for voltage stability improvement
(2015)
Voltage stability has become a serious threat of modern power system operation nowadays. To tackle this problem properly, load shedding is a countermeasure taken as a last resort. However, its consequences might result in ...
