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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Dynamics of MHD Heat and Mass Transfer Past a Semi-Infinite Vertical Porous Plate in a Turbulent Boundary Layer
(Zain Publications, 2018)This study addresses the problem of unsteady free convection incompressible MHD fluid flow past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate in the presence of a strong magnetic field inclined at an angle to the plate with Hall ... -
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 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 ... -
Suborbital graphs corresponding to permutation representation of PGL(2, q)
(2018)In this paper we construct Suborbital graphs for PGL(2,q) acting on the cosets of Cq-1 and analyze their properties. We established that the number of self paired suborbits is q + 2 and the paired suborbit are 2. Also ... -
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 ... -
Molecular Characterization of Low Density Poly-ethene (LDPE) degrading bacteria and fungi from Dandora dumpsite
(2018)This study aimed at molecular and biochemical characterization of Low Density Poly-ethene (LDPE) degrading fungi and bacteria from Dandora dumpsite-Nairobi. Twenty bacterial and 10 fungal isolates were identified using 16S ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Assessment and Relevance of English Communication Skills Syllabus to Diploma in Law Programme In Tanzania: Does it Bring Competency Based Education and Training as Expected?
(Machakos University, 2018)Appropriate and well-designed Curriculum is one of the variables that may contribute to sustainable development in any given society. The syllabus can reflect the type of end product of graduates that any education system ... -
Influence Of Strategic Orientation On The Growth Of Micro And Small Furniture Manufacturing Enterprises In Kenya
(International Academic Journal of Innovation, Leadership and Entrepreneurship (IAJILE), 2018)MSEs are an important segment of our economy. They contribute about 70% to Kenya’s GDP and over 80% of employment. Promotion of MSEs in the informal sector is viewed as a viable approach to development. However, reports ... -
A Complexity of Kiswahili Pairwise of Verbal Extensions: Algorithmic Approach
(Machakos University, 2018-04)The paper describes semantics architecture of morph pairwise in Kiswahili verbal extensions. Kiswahili morphology is well documented, though semantic descriptions of these morphs are ignored and the theory for handling ... -
Currency Portfolio Risk Measurement with Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic-Extreme Value Theory- Copula model
(Machakos University, 2018-04)This paper implements the statistical modelling of the dependence structure of bivariate currency exchange rates using the concept of copulas. The GARCH-EVT-Copula model is applied to estimate the portfolio Value-at-Risk ... -
