This research project proposes a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method of electricity distribution system planning based on the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) embedded in a 'bottom-up' planning process to investigate the implication of National Policy (Kenya Vision 2030) on distribution system planning in Kenya. This approach differs from the traditional optimization approaches used in Kenya which typically assesses alternative planning solutions by finding solutions with minimum total cost. Instead a separate capital cost is calculated for each solution, this ensures that the technical benefit of each solution is not obscured by the associated solution capital cost. The approach also allows for effective planning by starting the planning process from the distribution system upward. 2015-01-03T04:57:23Z 2015-01-03T04:57:23Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11064 eng application/pdf University of Cape Town Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment Department of Electrical Engineering |
