Opportunities and challenges for smart grid communications
(2010)The current power grid is in the verge of being improved. Recent technological advances have made possible the creation of a new and improved grid known as the smart grid. Smart grid allows for better interaction between ... -
Optimal Battery Location for Minimizing the Total Cost of Generation in a Power System
(2020)Wind is one of the major and fast growing source of green energy in the world. However, it’s naturally variable and this reduces its percentage penetration in a power system because of costs associated with balancing ... -
Optimal Placement of FACTS devices using voltage Stability Indices
(2016)Power System Voltage stability remains a major challenge for power utilities across the world. This research uses static load flow methods namely the voltage stability indices to come up with an optimal placement of FACTS ... -
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. ... -
Performance review of the VSC-HVDC based controllers
(2016)The Voltage Source Converters, High Voltage Direct Current (VSC-HVDC) system is the most preferred alternative technology for transmission and distribution of electrical power due to its intrinsic distinctiveness in ... -
Power factory load flow sensitivity analysis of an induction motor load model
(2010)Power factory Load flow sensitivity is a method used to obtain certain relationship between dependent and independent variables using differential relationship among physical measure in systems. Voltage sensitivity analysis ... -
Power Quality Challenges and Mitigation Measures in Grid Integration of Wind Energy Conversion Systems
(IEEE, 2018)Wind energy generation is a promising renewable energy source harvested through Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). Since WECS have different characteristics from conventional power plants, their integration into the ... -
Profit based unit commitment in deregulated electricity markets using a hybrid lagrangian relaxation - particle swarm optimization approach
(2017)In deregulated electricity markets, individual generation companies (GENCOs) carry out independent unit commitment based on predicted energy and revenue prices. The GENCOs unit commitment strategies are developed with the ... -
Profit based unit commitment in deregulated electricity markets using a hybrid lagrangian Relaxation - particle swarm optimization approach
(2017)Abstract—In deregulated electricity markets, individual generation companies (GENCOs) carry out independent unit commitment based on predicted energy and revenue prices. The GENCOs unit com-moment strategies are developed ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
A review of multi-objective methods for optimal location and capacity of distributed generations in modern power systems
(2017)Penetration of distributed generation (DG) units in distribution system has increased rapidly stimulated by reduced network power loss, improved bus voltage profile and better power quality. Appropriate location and capacity ... -
Review of policies and frameworks on climate change, agriculture, food and nutrition security in Ethiopia
(2020-07)Agriculture is the mainstay of Ethiopia’s economy, contributing over 50% of the gross domestic product (GDP), accounting for more than 85% of the labor force and over 90% of the foreign exchange earnings (Alemu et al. ... -
Review of policies and frameworks on climate change, agriculture, food and nutrition security in Rwanda
(2020-09)Rwanda is a small landlocked country in East-Central Af-rica and one of the world’s most densely populated coun-tries. Average rainfall in Rwanda is around 1000 mm per annum, with the annual temperature ranging from 16°C ... -
Review of policies and frameworks on climate change, agriculture, food and nutrition security in Uganda
(2020-08)Uganda is facing climate variability and change more frequently than ever. This is observed through changing temperature patterns—often linked to more frequent and longer periods of drought spells that lead to significant ... -
A Review of Security Techniques against Black Hole Attacks in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
(IEEE, 2019-05)Mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a special type of a wireless network formed by nodes that communicate without any fixed infrastructure or centralised management. Nodes in MANET act as a router and a host. These nodes are ...
