Ash resistivity profiling and effect of a high frequency power supply on electrostatic precipitator efficiency
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)Particulate emissions of coal-fired power stations are governed by the air quality legislation as stipulated by the Department of Environmental Affairs. The legislation stipulates the amount of particulate emission a ... -
Design of an energy management system utilizing optimum energy consumption of a distribution level microgrid
(2016)Currently within South Africa, net-metering policies are not yet widely implemented which hinders the adoption of residential microgrids. Without proper net-metering policies in place, the benefits of residential microgrids ... -
The effect of a ripple wave power supply on PEM electrolysis efficiency
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)The two matured water electrolysis technologies commercially available today are Alkaline water electrolysis and Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). Although alkaline water electrolysis is in a more mature ... -
Initiating insensitive munitions by shaped charge jet impact
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)When it comes to attacking munitions by means of a Shaped Charge Jet Impact (SCJI), various types of reactions are likely to occur, which range from a severe detonation to a simple burning type of reaction. These differences ... -
An integrated methodology to measure and verify energy conservation under incentive-based irrigation pumping programmes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Water scarcity and droughts have become a looming threat in many counties worldwide. In South Africa, a water crisis is upon the country and estimations show a supply shortfall of 17% by 2030. When considering water ... -

Intelligent controller for a hybrid energy storage system
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The performance and range of electric vehicles are largely determined by the characteristics of the electrical energy storage (EES) device used. The EES should be sufficiently sized to be able to provide the necessary ... -
Intelligent controller for improved efficiency of micro wind turbine generators
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)Wind turbines are one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. This is mainly due to wind turbines being one of the cleanest and cheapest form of renewable energy. The amount of power a wind turbine extracts ... -
Non-intrusive condition monitoring of power cables within the industrial sector
(2015)Condition monitoring (CM) of electrical equipment is an important field in electrical engineering and a considerable amount of research is dedicated to this field. Power cables are one of the most important parts of any ... -
Optimising hydrogen based energy storage systems using super capacitors
(2021)One of the greatest challenges when it comes to the efficient energy use in unmanned aerial vehicles is that of the energy storage systems. As drones require minimal weight to have optimal mobility the capacity of the ...
