Delay modelling and synchronisation of telecontrol networks
(North-West University, 2004)
Eskom, South A6ica's largest supplier of electricity, uses a vast telecommunication
network to control and monitor all operations in remote locations such as substations. As Eskom expanded the electricity network across ...
Numerical simulation of systems of rigid bodies
(North-West University, 2004)
This study investigated the various techniques available for rigid body system simulation, thus
providing a thorough overview of the latest relevant literature. N became apparent that no
engineering level accurate impulsive ...
Designing a dynamic thermal and energy system simulation scheme for cross industry applications
(North-West University, 2004)
The South African economy, which is largely based on heavy industry such as minerals
extraction and processing, is by nature very energy intensive. Based on the abundance of coal
resources, electricity in South Africa ...
Development of an ultra-high radio-frequency identification system
(North-West University, 2004)
Ultra-high radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID) systems outperform all
other RFID technologies in terms of throughput and reading range. UHF
RFID tags and readers will be deployed on unprecedented scales during ...
The evaluation of the mechanisms involved in the extraction of nickel from low concentration effluents by means of supported liquid membrane
(North-West University, 2004)
From an economic point of view, the use of membranes at the present time is intermediate between the development of first generation membrane processes and second generation processes such as supported liquid membranes. ...
Optimising the power quality control of a distributed generation power system
(North-West University, 2004)
Verspreide generasie of generators (VG) verwys na die opwekking van elektriese drywing op 'n
kleiner skaal (produksie wissel in grootte van 'n paar kW tot menige MW) deur 'n eenheid wat nie deel is van 'n sentrale voorsiener ...
Performance evaluation of scheduling strategies for Field Force Automation traffic over GPRS
(North-West University, 2004)
This study makes use of guidelines from other studies together with a lack of
appropriate network simulation tools to develop an example data source
model successfully that can be used for Field Force Automation ...
Verification of leakage through the side reflector graphite of the PBMR reactor
(North-West University, 2004)
As a result of manufacturing and temperature constraints of the reactor core components, leakage flow is an inevitable, and generally undesirable, occurrence within the PBMR reactor. Leakage flow occurs between the narrow ...
Digital detection system for RF-identification
(North-West University, 2004)
A South African company, iPico, developed an analogue detection system for RF-Identification tags. This device is however not as robust as it should be. Therefore it was decided to attempt to design and build a digital ...
Method for the thermo-hydraulic analysis of the test facility for the PBMR reserve shutdown system
(North-West University, 2004)
The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is a revolutionary small, compact and safe nuclear
power plant. It operates on a direct closed Brayton cycle. One of the unique features of this
concept is its load following capability ...
