The effect of a ripple wave power supply on PEM electrolysis efficiency
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
The two matured water electrolysis technologies commercially available today are Alkaline water electrolysis and Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). Although alkaline water electrolysis is in a more mature ...
Assessing scalability and economic viability of a membraneless divergent electrode flow-through electrolyser through design modifications
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
The alkaline Divergent-Electrode-Flow-Through (DEFT™) electrolyser represents the core novelty of the presented technology in that it utilises the flow of electrolyte entering an electrode gap with the subsequent diversion ...
Studies on motor bus transfer challenges for the ancillary equipment of a large thermal power station
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
This study considers the high-speed motor bus transfer system at Kendal Power Station. A highspeed
motor bus transfer system is used to transfer motors from one source to another source under
controlled or emergency ...
Augmenting large scale propagation models using field measurements
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
There is a need to use the available radio spectrum more efficiently because of the
current spectrum scarcity and the ongoing increase in demand for usable bands of
the radio spectrum. One way to use the radio spectrum ...
Techno-economical evaluation of domestic water heating technologies
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
Water heating accounts for up to 40% of the total energy consumption in an average residential household. With the drastic rise in electricity prices over the last decade, the use of renewable and alternative methods of ...
Identifying essential data to evaluate and monitor energy performance
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
The quantification of energy efficiency projects on a company’s energy footprint are important. Energy management projects previously monitored energy consumption by using a ring-fenced approach. Though energy management ...
Interpretability of deep neural networks for SYM-H prediction
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
Deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown impressive performance on a wide variety of
applications, but it remains di cult to interpret these models. For regression modelling,
DNNs generally do not explicitly provide any ...
Evaluation of network conditions on the performance of an Industrial IoT control and monitoring system
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
Advances in smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 have drawn the interest of the industry. The rise in
popularity of internet of things and cyber-physical systems in a manufacturing environment meant the
broader connection ...
The critical evaluation of the R&D innovation capability within the military manufacturing industry
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
Since the end of World War II, most countries have accepted that a vital feature of national
security policy is the military manufacturing industries (MMIs). Previous studies have shown that
innovating both organizationally ...
Evaluating the feasibility of integrating mine compressed air systems for energy savings
(North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
The South African metals and mining industry is under pressure to increase their production output. While South Africa’s production trend has been decreasing, even though it is the third largest gold reserve, the global ...
