In Kenya, secondary schools have a great role in preparing learners for career progression. In order to realize industrial growth, it is important to prepare more students for careers in STEM. There is relatively little ...

Due to the rapid decline of fossil resources and the impact of their use for electric power generation on the environment, renewable energy sources are increasingly explored and integrated into the power grid. Among the ...

In this work, a reactive power-voltage (QV)-based framework to evaluate the voltage instability sensitivities of power system buses to increase in renewable energy (RE) penetration has been developed using two sensitivity ...

This paper is about the design and development of a microcontroller based solar tracking system. Solar energy is rapidly becoming an alternative means of electrical source in Kenya and all over the world and the solar ...

This paper presents the voltage stability assessment of power system with increasing wind energy penetration. The effects of increasing Doubly-Fed Induction Generator-based Wind Energy Conversion System (DFIG-WECS) penetration ...

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 dynamic behavior of a PID-type fuzzy logic control depends on the appropriate choice of its scaling factors. Fixed scaling factors cannot provide adequate control performance under a wide range of operating conditions. ...

The unprecedented growth in demand and drive towards deregulation has brought about a complex and constantly changing grid. More so, with the current environmental and economic pressures, there's a reported growing number ...

This paper presents voltage stability analysis and improvement of power system when there is increase in wind power penetration. Loading parameter-Voltage curve was used to calculate the loadability and the megawatt margin ...

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 ...
