Continuation load flow with a neuro fuzzy model of an induction motor for voltage stability analysis
(2010)
This paper uses the concept of the continuation power flow analysis used in voltage stability
Analysis for control the power in large systems. It uses the PV curves to find the knee point of a certain bus. A neuro fuzzy ...
The Impact of Prior Exposure to Engineering Through the MUT Pre-College Course - A Case Study of Kangema Sub-County Secondary Schools
(2021-11)
In Kenya, secondary schools have a great role in preparing learners for career progression. In order to realize industrial growth, it is important to prepare more students for careers in STEM. There is relatively little ...
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 ...
MPPT of a standalone wind energy conversion system using magnetostrictive amorphous wire speed sensor and fuzzy logic
(2014)
This paper details the design and implementation of a Fuzzy Logic based controller for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) of a case study standalone wind energy
conversion system(WECS). A magnetostrictive amorphous wire ...
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 ...
Efficient Control strategy based on instantaneous power theory and model predictive control for grid connected photovoltaic system
(2021-11)
Due to the rapid decline of fossil resources and the impact of their use for electric power generation on the environment, renewable energy sources are increasingly explored and integrated into the power grid. Among the ...
Design optimization of a renewable hybrid energy system
(2013)
This paper proposes the optimal design of a renewable hybrid energy system consisting of solar, wind energy with battery storage suitable for application in remote areas. The study investigates the possibility of reducing ...
Comparison of aggregation methods of induction motor models for transient stability load modeling
(2010)
This paper focusses on the comparison of the aggregation methods of multiple induction motors (IM) connected in parallel on the same bus into a single equivalent model using the no-load and locked-rotor and transformer ...
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 ...
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 ...
