Investigating the feasibility of braking energy utilisation on diesel electric locomotives for South African Railway Duty Cycles
(2015)Five modes of transport exist on earth; 1) road, 2) sea, 3) rail, 4) air, and 5) pipeline. Railways have been used for centuries as a means of terrestrial bulk transportation due to its inherent low cost per tonne. ... -
A methodology to determine best-suited waiting-time periods for turbine start-up under fluctuating resources
(IEEE, 2019)— It is not uncommon for engineering process plants to comprise energy recovery. When power generation takes place under such circumstances, the nature of interlinked processes may result in fluctuating resource availability. ... -
Optimising energy recovery on mine dewatering systems
(North-West University, 2018)Mines in South Africa face many challenges. Chief among these are rising production costs. This coupled with labour unrests and investor uncertainty means that mines are under significant strain. An excellent method to ... -
Thermodynamic optimisation of a boiler feed water desalination plant
(2014)In the process of electricity generation, water is used as the working fluid to transport energy from the fuel to the turbine. This water has to be ultrapure in order to reduce maintenance cost on the boilers. For the ... -
Turbine investment optimisation for energy recovery plants by utilising historic steam flow profiles
(Elsevier, 2018)Burnable off-gases generated in engineering process plants are regularly utilised as energy sources. A common use is for steam production, where excess steam is allocated to power generation turbines. Fluctuating off-gas ... -
The use of optimisation modelling for energy recovery investment decision making
(IEEE, 2019)Investment decision making is a common occurrence for any engineering company. These investments include any possibility from relative inexpensive to extremely costly equipment. When power generation turbine procurements ...
