Development of a controller for fuel cell and supercapacitor application
(CATSA (Catalysis Society of South Africa), 2014)
The growing demand for energy in the world causes a lot of pressure to the environment and the resources used to supply the energy.
To ensure a continuous, more reliable and environmentally friendly energy supply system ...
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, ...
Improving energy consumption of an induction motor by design of a power factor correction system and estimation of it's saving on a large scale
(IEEE, 2014)
Power factor correction (PFC) is common in commercial and industrial applications. A need to extend its application increased with the dwindling natural resources used for power generation and also exceeding energy demand, ...
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 ...
Ontwerp van 'n energiebestuurstelsel vir optimale energieverbruik en effektiwiteit van 'n distribusievlakmikrokragnetwerk
(2014)
South African state-owned utility company, Eskom, is under severe pressure to ensure the stability and reliability of the national electricity grid. With a shortfall in capacity of the national electricity grid, the ...
Intelligente beheer van 'n effektiewe hernubare-energie tenk vir melkboerdery
(2014)
To reduce strain on Eskom and decrease the cost for producing dairy products, an energy-efficient bulk storage tank using solar power was designed. The system uses thermoelectric cooling modules as a supporting cooling ...
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 ...
