Design of a prototype ultra-capacitor solar panel street light
(2013)
The purpose of the paper is to describe and discuss the design of a prototype ultracapacitor
solar panel street light. The effect of ultra-capacitors as an energy storage device in a solar
panel street light is evaluated. ...
Design of a non-intrusive cable condition monitoring technique by means of partial discharge
(2013)
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the design of a non-intrusive condition monitoring
technique for medium- and high-voltage power cables. Partial discharge (PD) was used to design the
non-intrusive condition ...
Measurement and verification of the Eskom irrigation pumping standard product programme
(2013)
Eskom Integrated Demand Management (IDM) initiated a funding mechanism termed the Standard Product Programme (SPP) to cater for smaller Energy Efficient (EE) projects. The impacts of these projects
also need to be assessed ...
Study on the energy saving applying highly efficient permanent magnet motor with two degrees of mechanical freedom in concrete industry
(IEEE-Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013)
The cement and concrete industry in South Africa has
been growing rapidly for the last couple of years. This
is due to the development of the construction industry
with its need in concrete products like: concrete ...
Design of a prototype power line inspection robot
(2013)
The purpose of this paper is to provide the design of a prototype power line inspection
robot for the monitoring of Eskom transmission lines. It should also determine if an inspection robot
would be a feasible solution ...
Measurement and verification of the Eskom irrigation pumping standard product programme: evaluation of crop load factors
(2013)
Eskom Integrated Demand Management (IDM) also
included irrigation in the Standard Product
Programme (SPP) to cater for smaller irrigation
Energy Efficient (EE) projects. The irrigation sector is a
large energy consumer ...
Transmission line monitoring system for a power line inspection robot
(2013)
Eskom has thousands-of-kilometres of transmission lines running across South Africa. The
current methods of overhead power line inspection (foot patrols and air inspections) have been
implemented for a long time now and ...
Estimating the concentration of nucleation mode aerosol particles over South Africa using satellite remote sensing measurements
(AIP Publishing, 2013)
In this work satellite based observations were used to estimate the concentration of nucleation mode aerosols over South Africa. The nucleation mode aerosols can not be detected directly with satellite instruments since ...
Fuel ethanol production from sweet sorghum bagasse using microwave irradiation
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2013)
Sweet sorghum is a hardy crop that can be grown on marginal land and can provide both food and energy in an integrated food and energy system. Lignocellulose rich sweet sorghum bagasse (solid left over after starch and ...
