Shore to ship power for Mombasa port possibilities and challenges
(2016)Control of air pollution from docked ships is one challenge that ports encounter in their effort to reduce operational environmental impact. Ship-to-shore power has been identified as one technology to reduce emissions by ... -
Short term voltage stability analysis of an aggregated industrial load
(2010)Environmental constraints have limited expansion of transmission line networks. And with Power systems being operated close to their security limits, the likelihood of voltage collapses Occurring has increased [1]. In ... -
Single Axis Solar Tracking System
(2021-11)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 ... -
Size measures for large Web service systems
(2012)Web service systems grow larger with age whenever organizations add new services to existing systems. As is the case with other types of software, very large Web service systems are difficult to understand and maintain and ... -
A stabilized controllability of selemion CMV-based IPMC actuators in the extremely low humidity environment
(2013)Selemion CMV-based IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) actuators have numerous promising applications in designing autonomous moving structures. This paper presents the electric properties obtained from the analysis of ... -
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 ... -
A Survey on Cyber Crime Perpetration and Prevention: A Review and Model for CyberCrime prevention
(2012)Threats posed to organizations by cyber crimes have increased faster than potential victims or cyber security professionals can deal with them, placing targeted organizations at considerable risk. The growth of the ... -
