Short Term Load Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Network
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2007)This paper presents a method of short term load forecasting using artificial neural network (ANN). A three layered feed-forward neural network, trained by scaled conjugate back-propagation, is used. Two models of ANN were ... -
An Efficient Method of Load Forecasting for Non-Working Days
(2012)A new efficient method is proposed to forecast the non-working days load demand at Ruiru substation which is a 66/11kv; 66/33kv distribution substation located along Thika road. The forecasts are based on the total daily ... -
Voltage Stability Improvement Using the 21st Centur y Power Transformer
(Innovative Systems Design and Engineering, 2012)The 21st Century Power Transformer is produced by combining modern high voltage cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable technology with conventional transformer. The technique of solid insulation is adopted in the new dry ... -
An experimental Prototype for Low Head Small Hydro Power Generation Using Hydram
(2012)The global rise in energy demand has resulted to the over exploitation of both renewable and non renewable energy sources. Most feasible hydroelectric power (HEP) plants sites have been exploited and the current focus is ... -
Role of Farmers’ Personal Values in Soil Fertility Management Decisions: Evidence from Means-End Chain Analysis of Peri-urban Leafy Vegetable Production in Kenya
(2012)Peri-urban areas play a major role in the supply of vegetables consumed in urban areas. In order to meet high demand for aesthetic quality characteristics, peri-urban farmers use intensive production practices characterized ... -
Shocks, livestock assets and climate change adaptation in Kenya
(2013)The study assesses the impact of shocks on livestock and the role of adaptation to climate change in protecting assets from weather shocks. Data collection relied on a mixed-method approach, including household surveys ... -
Solution to Economic Load Dispatch using Particle Swarm Optimization
(2014)This paper proposes to determine the feasible optimal solution of the economic load dispatch power systems problem using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) considering various generator constraints. The objective of the ... -
The Dependency of Bus Voltage and Frequency in Load Shedding
(2014)Load shedding schemes proposed in literature so far use voltage and frequency parameters separately. The individual consideration of these indices may not be reliable or effective, and may even lead to the over load ... -
Simultaneous Consideration of Bus Voltage and Frequency in Load Shedding in a High Voltage AC Network
(2015)Load shedding schemes proposed in literature so far use voltage and frequency parameters separately. The individual consideration of these indices may not be reliable or effective, and may even lead to the over load ... -
Multi Area Multi Objective Dynamic Economic Dispatch with Renewable Energy and Multi Terminal DC Tie Lines
(2016)In this paper, an improved wheeling method (IWM) for a fully constrained five –area multi area multi objective dynamic economic dispatch (MAMODED) with renewable energy(RE) is proposed where the area interconnections is ... -
Multi Objective Dynamic Economic Dispatch with Renewable Energy and HVDC Transmission Lines
(2016)HVDC systems have recently found increasing importance in integration of Renewable energy (RE) into the grid for they provide long distance bulk power transmission by overhead lines with various economic advantages. The ... -
