Adaptive control of an active magnetic bearing flywheel system using neural networks
(North-West University, 2010)The School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at the North-West University in Potchefstroom has established an active magnetic bearing (AMB) research group called McTronX. This group provides extensive ... -
Characterisation of a PEM electrolyser using the current interrupt method
(North-West University, 2012)The need to characterise a PEM electrolyser is motivated by a South African hydrogen company. One of two electrochemical characterisation methods, namely the current interrupt method or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, ... -
Model based predictive control for load following of a pressurised water reactor
(North-West University, 2009)By September 2009 the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that the number of commercially operated nuclear reactors in 30 countries across the world is 436, around 50 reactors are currently being constructed, 137 ... -
Robustness estimation of self-sensing active magnetic bearings via system identification
(North-West University, 2009)Due to their frictionless operation active magnetic bearings (AMBs) are essential components in high-speed rotating machinery. Active magnetic control of a high speed rotating rotor requires precise knowledge of its position. ... -
Simulation and characterisation of a concentrated solar power plant
(2015)Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an efficient means of renewable energy that makes use of solar radiation to produce electricity instead of making use of conventional fossil fuel techniques such as burning coal. The aim ... -
System identification and optimal control of a small-scale unmanned helicopter
(2014)The use of rotary winged unmanned aerial vehicles in military and civilian applications is rapidly increasing. The primary objective of this study is to develop an automatic flight control system for a radio controlled ...
