The Combined Contribution of Bus Voltage and Frequency of a High Voltage AC in Load Shedding
(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 shedding ... -
Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch Solution Using ABC_PSO Hybrid Algorithm with Valve Point Loading Effect
(International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, 2012)The problem of power system optimization has become a deciding factor in current power system engineering practice with emphasis on cost and emission reduction. The economic and emission dispatch problem has been addressed ... -
Combined Real and Reactive Power Economic Dispatch using Multi-Objective Reinforced Learning with Optimized Losses
(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 ... -
A combined sensitivity factor based GA-IPSO approach for system loss reduction and voltage profile enhancement
(International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Science, 2013)Though several algorithms for optimizing DG location and size in a network with the aim of reducing system power losses and enhancing better voltage profile have already been proposed, they still suffer from several ... -

Comparative Analysis of Compressive Strength of Bamboo Leaf Ash and Baggash Ash Concretes
(MksU Press, 2021-06)Billions tons of conventional concrete are produced yearly as well as cement which emit large tons of carbon dioxide due to huge millions of metric tons produced annually. Sequel to this, there is need to produce a ... -
Comparative analysis of on-farm timber conversion systems in Kenya
(Journal of Horticulture and Forestry, 2013)Exploitation of trees on private farms in Kenya is mainly by chain, bench and pit sawing systems, whose efficiency has not been well established. The sawing systems were evaluated for their performance using three species: ... -
Comparative studies in electrochemical degradation of sulfamethoxazole and diclofenac in water by using various electrodes and phosphate and sulfate supporting electrolytes
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-06)In this study, the electro-oxidation capacities of Na2SO4 and potassium phosphate buffer supporting electrolytes were tested and compared for destruction of the sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and diclofenac (DCF) on platinum (Pt) ... -
Comparative Study of the Current Processes used by Insurance Companies and application of Block Chain Technology on Business Performance in Kenya
(International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR), 2020)The insurance industry has been engaging in numerous processes which are characterized by the exchange of data updated by multiple parties, they have ramped up investments in their digital agenda to be at par with other ... -
Comparison of Godunov’s and Relaxation Schemes Approximation of Solutions to the Euler Equations
(Journal of Applied Mathematics and Bioinformatics, 2015)In this paper we deal with the study of Euler equations for isothermal gas that is governed by two hyperbolic equations. By analysing the equations we obtain two real and distinct eigenvalues which enables ... -
Comparison of Godunov’s and Relaxation Schemes Approximation of Solutions to the Traffic Flow Equations
(International Journal of Scientific and Innovative Mathematical Research, 2014)In this paper we deal with the study of the traffic flow model that is governed by two hyperbolic equations. By analysing the equations we obtain two real and distinct eigen values which enables us to determine the wave ... -
