A Combined Sensitivity Factor Based GA-IPSO Approach For System Loss Reduction And Voltage Profile Enhancement
Abungu, Nicodemus (University of Nairobi, 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 ... -
Distributed Slack Bus Model for a Wind-Based Distribution Generation using Combined Participation Factors
Musau, P.M; Abungu, Nicodemus (2012)With the increased penetration of distributed generation into the power distribution system, the traditional load flow analysis that assumes a single slack bus has become impractical. The existing literature focuses on ... -
Effects of Distributed Generation penetration on system power losses and voltage profiles
Abungu, Nicodemus (University of Nairobi, 2013)In present times, the use of DG systems in large amounts in different power distribution systems has become very popular and is growing on with fast speed. Although it is considered that DG reduces losses and improves ... -
Multi-objective environmental/economic dispatch solution using hybrid ABC_PSO algorithm
Manteaw, D.E; Abungu, Nicodemus (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 ... -
Voltage Stability Improvement Using the 21st Century Power Transformer
Mwaniki, Charles; Abungu, Nicodemus; Wekesa, Cyrus (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 ...
