Ontwerp van ’n transmissielyn-monteringsoplossing vir ’n onbemande vier-rotor helikopter
(AOSIS, 2014)
A need
exists for a transmission line monitoring system for use by Eskom to inspect transmission
lines. A solution which uses a single board computer, visual and infrared cameras and a
GPS module is described. Real-time ...
Design of an intelligent controller for a renewable energy efficient bulk storage tank
(2015)
The national electricity supplier in South Africa is experiencing difficulty in providing the
required electricity, due to compliance with environmental regulations and the continuous price
increase of commercial fuels. ...
In-line water heating system for industrial application
(2015)
Due to the increase of electricity prices in South Africa and the World, there exists the need for energy efficient water heating systems. The authors of this paper conducted a literature study on existing water heating ...
Measurement and verification of the Eskom irrigation pumping standard product programme: evaluation of crop load factors
(2013)
Eskom Integrated Demand Management (IDM) also
included irrigation in the Standard Product
Programme (SPP) to cater for smaller irrigation

Transmission line monitoring system for a power line inspection robot
(2013)
Eskom has thousands-of-kilometres of transmission lines running across South Africa. The
current methods of overhead power line inspection (foot patrols and air inspections) have been
implemented for a long time now and ...
Design of a transmission line monitoring solution for an unmanned quadcopter
(2014)
Eskom owns thousands of kilometres of transmission lines that need to be inspected in order to plan maintenance. Current methods of inspection are costly and ineffective and could pose safety risks. Systems already developed ...
Development of a quadcopter for power line inspection
(2014)
The inspection of transmission lines is to be done annually. It is proposed that a quadcopter is used to do the inspection of
these transmission lines. The modelling of the quadcopter was done by studying its physical ...
