Appraising Kenyan energy demand policies for energy efficiency improvement and GHG emissions mitigation Energy Strategy Rev. (IF 8.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Egide Manirambona, Stephen M. Talai, Stephen K. Kimutai
Like in most Sub-Saharan Africa, biomass is the most consumed fuel in overall Kenyan energy demand. In addition to biomass, other end-use fuels are also consumed in the country, mostly by economic sectors. However, electricity demand has been the only end-use energy considered in most energy planning studies conducted for the country. There is a need to develop robust energy planning policies considering

A review on microgrid optimization with meta-heuristic techniques: Scopes, trends and recommendation Energy Strategy Rev. (IF 8.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-09 Afifa Akter, Ehsanul Islam Zafir, Nazia Hasan Dana, Rahul Joysoyal, Subrata K. Sarker, Li Li, S M Muyeen, Sajal K. Das, Innocent Kamwa
Microgrids (MGs) use renewable sources to meet the growing demand for energy with increasing consumer needs and technological advancement. They operate independently as small-scale energy networks using distributed energy resources. However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources and poor power quality are essential operational problems that must be mitigated to improve the MG’s performance
