A benchmarking model for harmonic distortion in a power system
(2011)The present power system is loaded with sophisticated energy conversion technologies like solid state converters. With the rapid advance in semiconductor technology, power electronics have provided new devices that are ... -
Comparative study in clearing of transient faults in medium voltage networks by means of neutral or single-phase tripping
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Within power utility networks, transient and permanent faults cause power interruptions to customers. Research has indicated that most faults that result in breakers tripping within MV networks are temporary in nature. ... -
Dynamic modelling of an industrial microgrid
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2019)With a decentralized approach to power system development gaining traction in both developed and under-developed countries, the realization of the next generation of power distribution network is identified as the Smart ... -

Impact of voltage waveform quality on distribution network planning
(North-West University, 2018)The present study investigated the power losses in a specific portion of the MV distribution network in Potchefstroom, South Africa. This was done in an attempt to assess and predict the impact of harmonic distortion on ... -
A voltage dip management program for Swaziland
(North-West University, 2019)The importance of Power Quality (PQ) is recognised by governments internationally to such an extent that in non-competitive electricity markets such as Southern Africa, it is required by law that the supplier of electricity ...
