Prototype line crawler for power line inspection
(David Publishing, 2013)
In South Africa, electricity is supplied through thousands-of-kilometers of overhead power cables, which is owned by
Eskom the national energy supplier. Currently monitoring of these overhead power cables are done by means ...
A review on thermoelectric cooling modules: installation design, performance and efficiency
(Academic Journals, 2013)
A thermoelectric cooling module (TECM) is defined as a solid-state heat pump and present advantages
(for example, no moving parts and no harmful gasses) over other refrigeration technologies. However,
to optimally use ...
Energy management by means of SMD model analysis for AMB systems with eccentricity
(IRET (Institute of Research in Engineering and Technology), 2013)
This paper provides the spring-mass-damper (SMD)
model analysis of a radial active magnetic bearing (AMB)
system that displays eccentricity. Energy management of AMB
systems can be done by means of a detailed SMD model ...
Energy management by means of PLC for a solar powered ultra-capacitor streetlight system
(IRET (Institute of Research in Engineering and Technology), 2013)
This paper presents the design of an energy
management programmable logic controller (PLC) control
program for a solar powered ultra-capacitor and battery
powered streetlight system. A PLC is used to control the flow ...
Partial discharge simulations used for the design of a non-intrusive cable condition monitoring technique
(David Publishing, 2013)
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of PD (partial discharge) activity within medium voltage XLPE
(cross-linked polyethylene) cables. The effect of partial discharge was studied by means of a number of ...
A permanent magnet motor with two degrees of mechanical freedom
(EE Publishers, 2013)
The effectiveness and advantages of an energy-efficient
concrete mixer drive using a synchronous permanent
magnet motor to develop helical rotor movement
Fly ash resistivity profiling for South African coal fired power stations
(David Publishing, 2013)
Particulate emission is a major problem in industrial processes, mainly power plants that make use of coal as a primary
source of energy. Stringent emissions limits, set by government organisations requires industries to ...
