Robust torque ripple mitigation of a line-start PMSM by means of the Taguchi method
(IEEE, 2019)
—In this paper, a robust design framework is proposed
to mitigate torque ripple for line-start permanent magnet synchronous machines (LS-PMSM) by using the Taguchi method.
The framework is intended for fine-tuning initial ...
Comparative study of steam vs hot water as primary heat transfer medium for a laboratory scale two-tank heated system
(IEEE, 2019)
The need exists for a benchmark multi-domain practical system that could emulate typical process faults for the purposes of condition monitoring. A proposition was made to develop a heated two-tank system, due to its ...
CREAK descriptor evaluation for visual odometry
(IEEE, 2019)
Each year, latest state of the art technologies and algorithms arise that claim and prove to-shine their predecessors. One such algorithm is the Colour-based Retina Key-point (CREAK) descriptor, which is based on the FAST ...
Instrument transformers influence on harmonic measurements for grid code compliance
(IEEE, 2019)
With an increased penetration of renewable energy sources in South Africa, especially photovoltaic (PV) and wind farm generating plants, power quality is becoming more important for utilities. With that also the accuracy ...
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 ...
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. ...
Predictive model for fuels from hydrothermal liquefaction of municipal solid waste
(EUBCE, 2019)
Effective management of the environmental impact of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a global issue linked to urbanization and a rapid increase in the global population. Although MSW has been evaluated as possible feedstock ...
Valorisation of waste lignin for phenol derivative compounds using hydrothermal liquefaction
(EUBCE, 2019)
Approximately 95% of global phenolic compounds (such as catechol, guaiacol, syringol, and vanillin) used in the pharmaceutical, fragrance and industrial industries are produced from petroleum-based phenolics such as benzene. ...
Cloud-based business intelligence for a cellular IoT network
(IEEE, 2019)
This paper presents a cloud-based business intelligence (BI) implementation for a cellular Internet of Things (IoT) network. A Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm, combined with elaborated Action Design Research (eADR) ...
Evaluation of a facial recognition engines for a surveillance system
(IEEE, 2019)
This paper presents the evaluation of a facial recognition system when considered in an operational context for the South African environment. Often, performance measures, such as recognition rate, are considered outside ...
