    Abstract: The electrical and fuel energy consumption for seven years period was collected for rolling mill company, Kano northwest Nigeria. Monthly energy consumption data were gathered and analyzed. The average electrical energy and thermal energy consumption per tonne of product for the period considered are 34.04GJ/Tonne and 99.74GJ/Tonne respectively. Th... Show More

    Abstract: A new methodology for positive streamer process is presented. This process depends on the critical electric field value that required for streamer initiation. So, an accurate computational of the electric field distribution across needle-to-plane gap is required. A finite element method using Comsol Multiphysics program is adopted for this simulati...

    Abstract: In this paper an extensive literature review of power system frequency control regulation and in relation to this, operating reserve determination policy have been highlighted. In terms of power system reliability and stability aspect, frequency control mechanism is the most important factor; hence there is a need for sufficient capacity reserve in... Show More
