Asynchronous interconnection of the proposed East Africa Power Pool (EAPP)
Musau, Moses Peter; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero; Wekesa, Cyrus Wabuge (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 ... -
Combined Real and Reactive Power Economic Dispatch using Multi-Objective Reinforced Learning with Optimized Losses
Musau, Peter Moses; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero; Wekesa, Cyrus Wabuge (International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2015)Most of the economic dispatch (ED) works so far deal with real power dispatch only. With the integration of renewable energy into the grid, reactive power dispatch cannot be ignored any longer due to its importance in ... -
Effects of renewable energy on frequency stability: A proposed case study of the Kenyan grid
Musau, Moses Peter; Chepkania, Terry Lumbasi; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero; Wekesa, Cyrus Wabuge (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 ... -
A GA/IPSO based Approach for System Loss Reduction and Voltage Profile Improvement Employing Arithmetic Crossover and Mutation
Kilonzi, Julius Charles; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero (International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2013)Reduction of system losses and improvement of voltage profile is one of the key aspects in power system operation. Though many methods are used to achieve this aspect, Distributed Generation (DG) has found increased usage ... -
Implementation of Environmental Decision Making Tool For Renewable Energy Utilization
Musau, Moses Peter; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero; Wekesa, Cyrus Wabuge (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
Musau, Moses Peter; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero; Wekesa, Cyrus Wabuge (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 Cubic Cost Functions
Musau, Peter Moses; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero; Wekesa, Cyrus Wabuge (Science Publishing Group, 2015)The formulation and solution of the Dynamic Economic Dispatch (DED) problem is one of the key disciplines in modern power system operation, planning, operation and control. Past researches have considered DED on Quadratic ... -
Power Loss Reduction in the Active Distribution Network by Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) Placement and Sizing Using Ordinary Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and an hybrid of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and PSO (HGAPSO)
Musau, Peter Moses; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero (2013)Due to the increased importance of DFIGs in optimization of real and reactive power losses and the maintenance of voltage profile, the general methods of DG placement and sizing in the existing literature cannot be ... -
Solving The Active Distribution Network Reconfiguration (ADNR) Problem Taking Into Consideration A Stochastic Wind Scenario and Load Uncertainty By Using HBFDE Method
Musau, Peter Moses; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero (International Journal of Emerging Technology and Advanced Engineering, 2017)-Past literature has attempted to solve the problem of network reconfiguration with Distributed Generators (DGs) without taking into consideration the intermittent renewable at a close proximity. Distribution ... -
Voltage Controller for Radial Distribution Networks with Distributed Generation
Kigen, Christopher; Abungu, Nicodemus Odero (International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2014)This paper presents a coordinated network controller whose objective is to maintain an optimal voltage profile across radial distribution networks with distributed generation. This is done by varying the output of the ...
