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 ...

Dynamic voltage stability deals with the voltage levels and how they’re affected by either faults or load changes within the system. Voltage instability has long been suspected in the voltage collapse and islanding of power ...

Among the emerging renewable energy technologies, solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is growing steadily in the mainstream energy supply mix contributing about 2.58% of the global total power generation by 2018 from ...

Solar Photovoltaic power generation is fast gaining popularity in Kenya. However, the effects of high cell temperatures continue to be a major hindrance to their efficiency especially for standalone systems. Water can be ...

This paper presents a comprehensive review on the application and control of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in order to improve voltage stability of power grid with high share of renewable ...

Voltage stability has become a serious threat of modern power system operation nowadays. To tackle this problem properly, load shedding is a countermeasure taken as a last resort. However, its consequences might result in ...

This paper focusses on the aggregation of multiple induction motors (IM) connected in parallel on the same bus into a single equivalent model using aggregation based on transformer equivalent circuit (method 1) and on ...

The electrical power grid is undergoing improvements and is being transformed to the Smart Grid. Smart Grid uses two-way power and information flow to better monitor, plan and control the electrical power grid. Advanced ...

Over the last two decades, electricity demand has increased substantially while the expansion of generation and transmission network has been limited due to environmental and/or economic constraints of building new ...

Electrical power generation from wind is achieved using a number of generator technologies. The main technologies are the Squirrel Cage Induction Generators (SCIG) and Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs). In this paper, ...
