Energy management by means of fault conditions on active magnetic bearing systems
(IRET (Institute of Research in Engineering and Technology), 2013)This paper presents the use of fault conditions on active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems as an energy management tool to improve the operation of AMB systems. Fault conditions on AMB system are broadly classified ... -
Energy management by means of PLC for a solar powered ultra-capacitor streetlight system
(IRET (Institute of Research in Engineering and Technology), 2013)This paper presents the design of an energy management programmable logic controller (PLC) control program for a solar powered ultra-capacitor and battery powered streetlight system. A PLC is used to control the flow ... -
Energy management system for a residential grid-tied micro-grid
(IEEE, 2015)With the national power grid under tremendous pressure, there are enormous pressure exerted on residential electricity consumers to cut-back on electricity consumption to ensure a reliable supply. This has led to ... -
Microgrid energy management through levelized cost of energy metric
(IEEE, 2020)The abundance of solar energy in Africa provides the ideal opportunity to mitigate the concerns on price, reliability and voltage quality of electricity supply to end-users. Rooftop PV and local energy storage solutions ... -
Novel intelligent energy management system for residential PV systems in non-feed-in tariff countries
(Research India Publications, 2018)Currently within South Africa and other developing countries, net-metering policies are not yet widely implemented which hinders the adoption of residential PV systems. Without proper net-metering policies in place, the ... -
