    Energy-based fault detection for an auto-thermal reformer 

    Marais, Henri-Jean (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
    The effects of the so-called energy-crisis are being felt world-wide. Dwindling natural resources has seen an increase in research efforts to develop new energy efficient technologies, and to manage existing facilities ...

    Interactive data mapping for industrial energy management 

    Van Ginkel, Oswald (North-West University, 2012)
    Data maps serve the purpose of visually representing information. They are especially useful for allowing people to grasp complex data structures. An interactive data map adds the functionality of people and systems being ...

    Metabolic energy management and cancer 

    Potgieter, Suretha (North-West University, 2007)
    This study examined the energy dependence of cancer cells. Glucose was found to be their main energy source. It seems possible to use this dependence to advantage in the fight against cancer. A novel experiment to reduce ...

    Simulation of the sulphur iodine thermochemical cycle 

    Nyoni, Bothwell (North-West University, 2011)
    The demand for energy is increasing throughout the world, and fossil fuel resources are diminishing. At the same time, the use of fossil fuels is slowly being reduced because it pollutes the environment. Research into ...

    The molecular structure of selected South African coal-chars to elucidate fundamental principles of coal gasification 

    Roberts, Mokone Joseph (2015)
    Advances in the knowledge of chemical structure of coal and development of high performance computational techniques led to more than hundred and thirty four proposed molecular level representations (models) of coal ...

    Reducing electrical costs for a mine ventilation system with the aid of simulation software 

    Smit, Nicholas Jacobus (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
    Eskom, the South African state owned power utility, offers a demand side management (DSM) program that suggests different electrical energy tariffs during different times of the day for large consumers of electrical energy, ...

    A development path for small wind energy systems in South Africa 

    Olatayo, Kunle Ibukun (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
    South Africa‟s electricity generation is primarily through coal, and this contributes significantly to the country‟s high carbon emissions. In 2010, the Department of Energy, initiated the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) ...

    Energy based visualisation of a Brayton cycle power conversion unit for the purpose of condition monitoring 

    Neser, H. (North-West University, 2019)
    The efficient operation of industrial plants has been the subject of many studies, due to an increased awareness of greenhouse gas emissions and dwindling natural resources. Condition monitoring is key to the efficient ...

    Graph-based fault detection for a gas-to-liquids process: an exergy approach 

    Greyling, S. (North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
    As there are many safety and financial risks within modern process plants, process monitoring is said to be indispensable. Process monitoring aids operators in ensuring reliable and efficient operation of the plant. Fault ...

    Reducing energy consumption on RSA mines through optimised compressor control 

    Booysen, Walter (North-West University, 2010)
    South Africa experienced a severe shortfall in electricity supply during 2008. Eskom, the national electricity supplier, implemented several strategies to alleviate the situation. The Power Conservation Programme set the ...
