Design and implementation of an energy efficient DC induction cook stove
(Makerere University, 2020-12)
The operational costs of using electricity greatly outstrip costs of high-power devices like cookers and dc induction cook stoves. The available dc induction cook stoves work by converting low voltage DC to AC voltage which ...
Design and simulation of a hybrid solar biomass dryer for coffee seeds in rural areas
(Makerere University, 2020)
The application of solar drying, especially in agricultural areas, has been proven to be practically, economically, and environmentally friendly. However, the drying process is limited only in a sunny environment and often ...
Development of a microbial fuel cell for the provision of low cost lighting and smart irrigation in Uganda's rural areas
(Makerere University, 2019-06-30)
In Uganda today, the coverage of the electricity grid is still quite poor (about 21%, UETCL 2018) and so costly (610/= per kWh, UMEME). This implies that majority of Ugandans living in rural areas use kerosene lamps and ...
Design and implementation of solar array diagnostic system
(Makerere University, 2022-02)
PV modules are the most important part of a Photo-voltaic (PV) solar system as light energy from the sun is converted into electrical energy. The basic component of a PV module is a solar cell that has the capacity of ...
Design of reliable and sustainable hybrid solar PVbiogas micro-grid for off-grid rural communities in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2023)
This project aimed to design a reliable and sustainable hybrid solar PV-biogas micro-grid for off grid rural communities in Uganda. The study used a mixed-methods approach, including a survey of energy demand in the target ...
A comparative study on the performance of traditional and modern energy technologies for cooking in Uganda
(AUMA SHarot Shilla, 2024-06-20)
If this study is not carried out, several consequences including the following may occur for example, there
was continued health pressing issues as people in Uganda continue to rely on traditional cooking methods
that ...
Design of vibration energy harvester
(Makerere University, 2025)
This project addresses the frequent power outages and voltage fluctuations affecting traffic light systems in Uganda, which cause traffic congestion, delays, and accidents. To provide a sustainable alternative power source, ...
Optimization of battery energy storage system (BESS) for enhanced frequency regulations in power grid
(Makerere University, 2025)
The increasing integration of renewable energy sources into modern power systems presents new challenges in maintaining grid stability, particularly in terms of frequency regulation under high active power demand conditions. ...
Predictive battery dispatch for 24-hour utility-scale solar power integration at Kabulasoke Solar Power Plant in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2025)
The growing reliance on renewable energy in Uganda demands innovations that ensure
continuous and stable electricity supply, especially in the face of variability in solar power
generation. While grid-connected solar ...
