Given the fact that there are a wide variety of models that are available for analysing energy systems, it is important to develop a comparative overview of the models in terms of several criteria, particularly their applicability to developing countries where unique features such as traditional energy consumption, informal economy, urban-rural divide, low electrification, poor performance of the power sector, supply shortage, data and skill needs, etc. should be considered. This paper presents a review and comparison of the most commonly used modeling tools for analysing energy and electricity system. It reviews the available literature and follows a systematic approach of classifying the alternative models that can serve as a guidance to select the most appropriate analytical tool, mainly when dealing with energy modeling and analysis for developing countries.

Transmission line protection schemes have evolved over the years. Direct connection of instrument transformer secondary wires to protection relays was mostly applicable to short transmission lines. In medium to long haul transmission lines this scheme was not feasible due to line signal attenuation caused by increased line impedance among other factors. Technological advances have provided unique solutions that have been deployed in a variety of transmission lines from short to long haul lines. This paper discusses how the use of microprocessor based protection relays and modern digital communication technologies have simplified transmission line protection. The paper also discusses line current differential and distance relaying schemes as applied to transmission line protection. Communication assisted tripping schemes will also be discussed and how they apply to distance relaying schemes.

Renewable energy has become increasingly important in recent times and the most abundant source of clean energy that people are migrating to is sunlight energy. To harness this energy, photovoltaic panels are deployed to convert solar energy into electrical energy. As a result, the PV arrays used are subjected to changing irradiance and temperature throughout the day. Similarly, the efficiency of the resultant power is significantly reduced if no control method is used to track the MPP at any given time. This paper presents an experimental investigation of an Incremental Conductance-based MPPT for PV arrays. The simulation and experimental data are processed, analyzed, and compared. From this comparison, a generalized observation emerges that the Incremental conductance algorithm improves the overall efficiency of the power system.

Energy plays a very important role in people's lives, at the same time it contributes to economic development and growth. A sustainable energy system, supplying clean, affordable and reliable energy, is required in line with almost 70% of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) - SDG7 in rural areas where energy poverty is prominent due to no energy access. A model and simulation of various energy source combinations were conducted using HOMER Pro Software with data collected from a survey done in Mayukwayukwa, Kaoma district in Zambia. A review of current energy scenario and electrification plans for Mayukwayukwa is discussed and evaluated and the aim is to demonstrate the economic viability of hybrid micro power plants using local resources and provide alternative energy solutions that would meet the end-users energy demand. Biomass-solar PV combination is found to be an affordable, reliable, sustainable and continuous clean energy for a micro hybrid power plant.

As a result, various phenomena that affect the quality of energy occur, identifying the inverter and converter as the equipment responsible for generating these phenomena. The methodology is based on the dependence of the total harmonic distortion on the current, solar irradiation, inverter output current, RMS voltage for the grid connection point, and active and non-active power registers. It was verified that the results obtained met the criteria established with the energy quality standards for connection to the grid, related to the work of the MPPT converter for each photovoltaic module and the uncertainty of the irradiance. The values of PF varied a lot during the day, reaching desired levels when the injected power approached the inverter rated power. Therefore, low levels of PF can be reduced by increasing the number of modules photovoltaic, since the inverter used is oversized.

Large scale solar photo voltaic plants are being developed and implemented at rapid rates and others are being set up to occupy large tracts of land running to millions of acres across the globe. The cascaded environmental impacts of such huge installations are not well addressed in both literature and in the famous techno-economic modelling tools such as HOMER, SAM, INSEL and TRNSYS. This study provides a full cost approach for determining the Levelized cost of Electricity (LCOE). The study incorporates all the costs incurred during generation and operation including the externality costs that have been traditionally omitted by other models. This has been aided by the use of a new software called the ECOS model developed by students of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Science and Technology. The study carries out sizing of Solar PV for Lodwar and the resultant metrics such as LCOE when externalities are included. The novel contribution of this paper is the incorporation of the environmental impacts of Solar PV which has not done by other software tools like HOMER.

The earth grid design for substations is pivotal for substation design, particularly in high resistivity soil where resistance on the lowest layer is greater than the upper gradation soil. In this paper, a 400kV Neiuwehoop substation earth grid design is presented using Current Distribution Electromagnetic Field Grounding Soil Structure Analysis Software (CDEGS) platform. The four-electrode Wenner method is used to determine the soil resistivity distribution. For an estimated single-phase system fault current of 40kA at 0.5second, the touch potential design of $0 Omega$ and the foot resistance of $0.5mathrm{k} Omega$ are determined. The step potential of 262.6V and touch potential of 186.5V is found. The ground potential rise of 15.942kV relatively correlates with the calculated as well as measurements obtained.

Nigeria is naturally endowed with renewable and non-renewable energy resources that can be used to generate power to meet the energy needs of the population. Despite this potential, the country is faced with a lot of challenges to develop the power sector. These challenges include network losses, inadequate funding to develop the transmission system, right of way issues to build transmission lines, environmental and social concerns. Consequently, distributed energy system (DES) has been identified as an efficient way of addressing some of these challenge by generating power close to the customer's load. This paper presents the different DES technologies and potential energy resources available in Nigeria as well as the benefits and challenges associated with integrating distributed energy system to the power grid.

The performance of an experimental grid-tied 8-kW photovoltaic (PV) system installed at the Durban University of Technology, South Africa, was studied between January 2018 to December 2018 for evaluation in terms of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard. The annual yielded energy was 16.178 MWh. The annual average final yield and reference yield were 4.93 kWh/kWp/day and 5.59 kWh/kWp/day, respectively. The performance ratio obtained was 87.1%, which is quite above 80 percent, the acceptable industry ratio. The study reveals that Durban is a good location for PV generation. Results obtained were compared to similar studies conducted in Dublin, Morocco, India, and Spain; it shows that this study's final yield and performance ratio is better than what is reported in extant literature.

Global electricity consumption in any developing sector is increasing faster than expected and energy demand forecasting is vital for sound-sustainable energy supply-demand management. Consequently, developing accurate electricity demand forecasting models is inevitable. In this paper we propose the Grouped Grey Model (GGM(1,1)) in modeling medium-term forecasting of electricity consumption. GGM(1,1) is subjected to electricity consumption data scenario to ascertain its ability and applicability in time series data forecasting. In addition, analysis of an empirical example validates data grouping techniques in improving the accuracy of the original grey model. Hence the accuracy of the prediction on electricity consumption is improved due to data grouping techniques. The proposed model can improve energy forecasting performance for future energy plans of management in producing and distributing power. Moreover, it can enhance smart grid benefits.
