Investigation of static voltage stability using a modified load flow algorithm and counter propagative artificial neural networks
(2010)
In conventional load flow studies, the active and reactive powers of all load buses are generally specified. Thus, by assuming a constant power load characteristic, the impact of the load in the system is over-emphasized ...
Disentangling farmers’ preferences and cost allocation among inputs for food security in Vihiga District, Kenya
(2011-03)
Vihiga, one of the poorest and densely populated districts in Kenya, is perpetually in food deficit. Poor welfare and a low resource base continue to curtail efforts to circumvent food insecurity among households in the ...
Load flow solution using neuro-fuzzy techniques
(2015-06)
Load-flow (LF) study is the steady state solution of the power system network under existing or contemplated conditions for normal operation. In this paper, a neuro-fuzzy system is proposed to solve power flow problem under ...
Challenges to sustainable sports tourism development in a non-metropolitan region in Kenya: A case of Iten township
(Association for Tourism and Leisure Education, 2015-05)
Sports related Travel traced to 776 BC Olympics (Baker 1982; Davies 1997 and De knop 1999). According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (2010), tourism has been one of the major contributors to the global ...
Modelling of the industrial load of Bamburi cement company for power system studies
(2010)
In the recent past, much attention has been given to models for generation and transmission equipment. The representation of the loads has received comparatively less attention and continues to be an area of greater ...
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 ...
Can irrigation be an answer to Kenya’s food security problem?
(2015-10)
Irrigation development is one strategy the government can use to improve food security in Kenya. Lessons from irrigated maize production studies show that it is profitable and that Galana Kulalu food security project has ...
