Analysis of the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of Solar PV Systems Considering their Environmental Impacts on Biodiversity
(IEEE, 2020)Large scale solar photo voltaic plants are being developed and implemented at rapid rates and others are being set up to occupy large tracts of land running to millions of acres across the globe. The cascaded environmental ... -
Decentralized constrained optimal control of the multimachine power system stability improvement
(Indonesian Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2020-03)This paper proposes a decentralized constrained optimal control of the multimachine power system stability. Today’s power networks operate closer to their maximum limits. Alternative Current power grids are more vulnerable ... -
EFFECT OF PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS ON REVAMPING TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN KENYA: A CASE OF KENYA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS (KAM) AND GESELLSCHAFT FÜR INTERNATIONALE ZUSAMMENARBEIT (GIZ) PARTNERSHIP
(International Journal of Vocational and Technical Education Research, 2020-04)Lack of financial and managerial capacity impedes many governments’ ability to meet obligations in regard to the national educational systems. In order to make meaningful improvements in education, governments may have ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Modeling and Simulation of Solar Photovoltaic Renewable Energy Sources Power Generation System for MGs and Loss of Mains Detection
(Multidisciplinary Journal of TUM, 2020-12)Power generation from Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) is steadily increasing due to a number of reasons. These include government subsidies on these RESs, improvement in technology in their manufacture and efforts to reduce ... -
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 ... -
Solar-wind hybrid energy system for new engineering complex- technical university of Mombasa
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)A hybrid energy system combines multiple types of energy generation in order to meet the demand of the users effectively and efficiently. The Solar-Wind hybrid system consists of electrical energy generated from wind and ... -
Strategic PMU placement for stability enhancement
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)This paper explored a novel method for strategic monitoring of a power system to schematically monitor power system variables that are sensitive to transients. The characteristics of a fully developed transient or power ... -
Thermal analysis of a CSP-Biogas hybrid power plant
(International Journal of Energy and Power Engineering, 2014)As the energy costs continue to rise steadily, researchers are looking for alternative sources of energy to meet the rising demand for sustainable energy. Finding an inexpensive and reliable energy generation technology ... -
