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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Load flow analysis with a neuro-fuzzy model of an induction motor load
(2009)In the conventional load flow study, the active and reactive powers of all load buses are generally specified. Although the constant power model is applicable for approximate studies, it may not suitable for the motors ... -
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 ... -
Voltage profile improvement using switched capacitors: case of single wire earth return distribution network
(2017)Most rural areas in Africa are characterized by scattered villages with a very low demand in electricity. Due to improper planning and lack of knowledge on low cost technologies, the cost of extending the grid to supply ... -
Development of a Wavelet-ANFIS based fault location system for underground power cables
(2017)In the past decade, electricity demand has increased rapidly in metropolitan areas. All over the world, large scale underground power cable installations networks are replacing overhead transmission lines due to environmental ... -
