Failure rate modeling due to aging and its impacts on distribution network reliability
(Makerere University, 2019-06)
This project report presents a mathematical model that help to determine the failure rate due to aging of a power distribution feeder and the impact of those failures on the distribution network reliability. Electrical ...
Analysis and mitigation of Ferranti effect on long low loaded power distribution networks
(Makerere University, 2019-06)
Ferranti effect is when the steady voltage at the open end of an uncompensated distribution
line is higher than the voltage at the sending end. This project presented the analysis &
mitigation of Ferranti effect in the ...
Assessing the sustainability of groundwater resources in Lugazi Municipality
(Makerere University, 2019-05)
Today almost 50% of all the urban water use worldwide is attributed to the groundwater sources due to its relatively low cost and generally high quality. This puts pressure on the future water use and so the only remedy ...
Development of a flood early warning system with a mechanized drawbridge
(Makerere University, 2019-06)
Climate change occurs when the earth’s climate system results into new unpredictable weather patterns. This change brings about its hazards such as famine, drought, heat waves, landslides and more specifically floods. ...
Ambient backscatter communication for RFID tags
(Makerere University, 2019-07)
A technology called ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) that requires no batteries or wires and depends on harvested radio frequency (RF) energy to power the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag has been proposed. ...
Mitigation of Total Harmonic Distortion on Industrial Feeders (Case study: NMV/RFG/33KV/1&2 Feeder)
(Makerere University, 2019-07-26)
Power systems are designed in such a way that they operate at fundamental frequency, that is 50Hz or 60 Hz. However nonlinear loads such as induction motors and power electronic devices produce currents and voltages which ...
Design and Implementation of a Real-time Electronic Voting Machine using the GSM Module
(Makerere University, 2019)
The main aim of this project was to design a real time electronic voting machine which maintains a voting record of all candidates through messages sent as SMS to all Agents of various candidates at a given polling station ...
Design and construction of a web based battery monitoring and control system for a power substation
(Makerere University, 2019)
In this project works, a web based battery monitoring and switching control system is
discussed. The system measures battery electrolyte temperature, current and voltage
parameters of a typical battery in a distribution ...
Design and implementation of a Luganda speech database for unit selection speech synthesis using phonetic transcription
(Makerere University, 2019-06)
Speech synthesis systems have greatly simplified natural language interaction between humans and computers. A number of such systems exist with several languages for example Indian, English and Arabic, incorporated in them. ...
An Investigation of the use of Ternary Blended Cement in the production of High Strength Concrete
(Makerere University, 2019-05)
This study focused on the possibility of producing high strength concrete using ternary blended
cement i.e. three part blended cement produced by partial replacement of OPC with a blend of
metakaolin and limestone in a ...
