An Assessment of Optimal Allocation of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using Metaheuristics
Kallon, M. A.; Nyakoe, G. N.; Muriithi, Christopher M. (2021-11)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 ... -
DSTATCOM Application for Distribution Network Power Quality Enhancement: A Review
Kallon, M. A.; Nyakoe, G. N.; Muriithi, Christopher M. (IEEE, 2021-09)The performance of electrical systems is becoming more affected by the increased voltage drop, power loss, and power quality problems. These issues can be drastically minimized by the incorporation of compensators in the ... -
Protection of Terminal Distribution Transformers: A Case Study of Kenya Power
Muriuki, J.; Muriithi, Christopher M.; Ngoo, L.; Nyakoe, G. N. (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 ... -
Under Voltage Load Shedding using Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithms for Voltage Stability Enhancement: A Review
Kisengeu, S. M.; Nyakoe, G. N.; Muriithi, Christopher M. (2020)Power blackouts are experienced globally, more so with increasing load demand and ageing infrastructure. The high failure rate of conventional and adaptive load shedding techniques is prevalent during multiple contingencies. ...
