Comparative analysis of SCIG and DFIG based wind generation on transient stability of the Kenyan power system
(2014)
Generation of Electrical power from wind is achieved using the two mainly available generator technologies. These technologies are the squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG) and doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs). ...
Investigating the impact of power system stabilizers in a multi machine system with an induction motor load
(2010)
The high reactive power demand by the induction motor load during fault condition due to reduced bus voltages may cause a generator to behave like a voltage source behind the synchronous reactance and its terminal voltage ...
Farmers Willingness to Pay and the Sustainability of Irrigated Maize Production in Rural Kenya
(2017-07)
This paper evaluated farmers willingness to pay for irrigated maize production using field level data collected through a cross sectional survey. The results showed that 78% of the farmers were willing to pay more than the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Voltage stability analysis using CP_ANN and optimized capacitor bank placement
(2010)
Voltage Stability refers to the ability of power system to maintain steady voltage at all buses in the system after being subjected to a disturbance from a given initial operating condition. In this paper, the IEEE 30-bus ...
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 ...
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 ...
Designing of new proposed technique for lie Detection using EEG Signals
(2011-03)
The proposed system is designed to make EEG database of criminals during the investigation by crime branch. System will be detecting the criminals on the bases of thought related to crime to be stored in brain, when the ...
TRANSFORMING SMALLHOLDER AGRICULTURE IN AFRICA: THE ROLE OF POLICY AND GOVERNANCE
(2016-09)
Agriculture is a key driver for pro-poor economic growth in Kenya and supports over 80% of rural households (Amwata et al., 2015). Challenges in the agriculture sector (RoK, 2010; 2012; Nyariki et al., 2005): Limited ...
