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 ... -
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 ... -
Effects of Magnetic Induction on MHD Boundary Layer Flow of Dusty Fluid a Stretching Sheet
(2018-12)This research investigates the effects of magnetic field on the MHD boundary layer laminar flow of a dusty fluid over a stretching flat plate surface. The fluid is influenced by an external uniform magnetic field applied ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -

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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
