The adaptation of Bring Your Own Device as a Green Information Technology Practice at the North-West University
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)BYOD and Green IT have become the recent trends in organizations including higher education institutions. BYOD helps organizations increase their productivity and the satisfaction of employees since it allows them to make ... -
The conceptual design of an integrated energy efficient ore reduction plant
(2014)This study explores ways to determine the energy efficiency of a pyrometallurgical ore reduction plant and measures to improve it. The feasibility of building a commercial plant - that is more energy efficient, has a low ... -
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 ... -
Reducing energy consumption of mine cooling systems by controlling chilled water demand of mobile cooling units
(IEEE, 2014)Energy costs are increasing rapidly. Energy efficiency strategies are required to reduce electricity consumption for energy intensive operations. Cooling systems of deep level mines consume approximately 25% of their total ... -
Study on energy losses in industrial sector caused by low actual efficiency of induction motors
(IEEE, 2014)This paper presents a study on energy losses in the industrial sector caused by low actual efficiency of induction motors (IMs). The main reasons are discussed and an efficiency analysis of a 3-phase induction motor, ...
