Evaluation of key factors influencing a South African based electrical utility to utilise smart grid technologies for power quality management
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)With the ever-growing global drive to reduce carbon emission compelling the need to diversify Energy generation options, solar and wind renewable energy sources are the popular choices in South Africa. Since photo-voltaic ... -
The impact of current transformers on measurement uncertainty of power quality
(North-West University, 2019)The impact of current transformer accuracy on the uncertainty of harmonic measurements was investigated. A literature review revealed the lack of traceability of harmonic measurements conducted using IEC 61869-2 or IEC ... -
Impact of voltage waveform quality on distribution network planning
(North-West University, 2018)The present study investigated the power losses in a specific portion of the MV distribution network in Potchefstroom, South Africa. This was done in an attempt to assess and predict the impact of harmonic distortion on ... -
On-line monitoring of a transmission line using synchrophasor measurements
(North-West University, 2018)The research assessed the possibility of using a wide area measurement system that uses synchrophasor data to calculate operational limits of an overhead line. These applications have become achievable to utility companies ... -
A voltage dip management program for Swaziland
(North-West University, 2019)The importance of Power Quality (PQ) is recognised by governments internationally to such an extent that in non-competitive electricity markets such as Southern Africa, it is required by law that the supplier of electricity ...
