DESIGN A 40 MVA DISTRIBUTION GRID FOR NAIROBI BY USING A NOVEL PROTECTION

Abstract

This project demonstrates the design of a 40 MVA power grid system for Nairobi. Efficient and reliable power supply systems continue to play a big role in the economic development of developing countries such as Kenya. In this project, I explore the history of the power grid from its early days to appreciate the significant steps modern grids have achieved. I discuss the underlying theories and principles surrounding power generation. I planned a novel protection for a grid by using superconducting material. I hope we can apply this method in Kenya regarding grid design. Lastly, I present the planned work with superconducting material.
