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 ... -
Effects of renewable energy on frequency stability: A proposed case study of the Kenyan grid
(IEEE, 2017)Renewable Energy (RE) units especially grid connected Wind and Solar PV which have no rotational inertia are effectively displacing the conventional generators and their rotating systems. This reduces both the cost of ... -
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 ... -
Stability Analysis of a Multi Area System with Renewable Energy and Multi -Terminal DC Tie Lines
(Journal of Power and Energy Engineering, 2018)Security constrained multi area multi objective dynamic economic dispatch (SCMAMODED) with renewable energy (RE) and all the possible MTDC stability constraints is formulated for the first time. The stability merits of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Asynchronous interconnection of the proposed East Africa Power Pool (EAPP)
(2017)East Africa Power Pool (EAPP) is a proposed regional interconnection for centralizing energy resources and facilitating power wheeling between the Eastern Africa geographical areas. Synchronous tie lines have been used in ... -
Implementation of Environmental Decision Making Tool For Renewable Energy Utilization
(2017)Renewable Energy (RE) units especially grid connected Wind and Solar PV which have no rotational inertia are effectively displacing the conventional generators and their rotating systems. This reduces both the cost of ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
Comparative Study of the Performance Behaviour of Solar PV Modules in Kitui County
(2018)Solar energy technology is emerging alternative energy source to meet specific demands around the world. The research will identify and focus on performance behavior of solar PV modules at selected sites whose geographical ... -
Building Household and Community Resilience to Food Insecurity through Kitchen Gardens in Las Anod District of Somaliland
(2018)The number of acutely food insecure households in the Las Anod region is estimated at 134,000 with a further 80,000 households classified as stressed (FSNAU 2018). Las Anod's economy is mainly centered on livestock. ADRA ... -
A Pressure Wave Theory For a Transient Drawdown in an Unconfined Aquifer
(2018)Previous observations indicate that when an unconfined aquifer is pumped at a constant rate, the drawdown-time curve exhibits a three-segment graph; a steep early time segment, a flatter intermediate segment and a somehow ... -
A VCSEL- based backbone extended-reach optical fibre network: Supporting up to 10 Gbs flexible access networks for Africa
(2018)In this paper, using vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) and Raman amplification, a low power consuming, energy-efficient and cheap technique to transmit high speed data signals over optical fibre is ...
