Electricity generation from municipal solid waste (MSW)
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)With the world’s energy demand increasing by the day, carbon dioxide emission rate also increases due to the dependency on fossil fuels for energy production. Several attempts have been made to reduce the dependence fossil ... -
Enhancement of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Generation Efficiency Using Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) Modules
(2022)Solar photovoltaic power generation has gained wide popularity worldwide due to its renewable nature. However, high temperature conditions compromise the power generation by a substantial margin. This study was intended ... -
Evaluation of thermal interface materials in mediating PV cell temperature mismatch in PV–TEG power generation
(Elsevier, 2021)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 ... -
The impact of capacitor coupled sub-station in rural electrification of sub-Saharan Africa
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2015)The overall electricity access rate is still very low in most sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. The rate is even lower in rural areas where most of the population in these countries lives. One of the main obstacles to ... -
The impacts of distributed generation using high speed wind turbines on power system transient stability
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)Wind power generation source differs in several respects from conventional sources of energy like hydro and thermal. Furthermore, wind generators are usually based on different generator technologies other than the ... -
Implication of using auxiliary service voltage transformer sub-stations for rural electrification
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)Abstract: Providing an affordable and reliable electricity supply to rural communities is seen by countries round the world as one of the major keys to development. A good quality and stable electricity supply can provide ... -
Innovative solar photovoltaic and thermoelectric power generator for a recirculating aquaculture system
(2020)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 ... -
Integrated Electricity Tarrif Model for Kenya
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)Tariffs and tariff structures has been changing over a period of time all over the world. This has acted as a key factor which limits development in third world country. This project therefore seeks to detemine the best ... -
Power swing prediction for out-of-step mitigation
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)This paper explored the possibility of accurately predicting the classification of developing power swings. The notion of machine learning was employed, and tested the application of Decision Tree (DT) algorithms to wide ... -
