    • Development of a simulation model for a small scale renewable energy system 

      De Klerk, Martinus Gerhardus (North-West University, 2012)
      In this dissertation I present my approach and findings regarding the development of a simulation model for a small scale renewable energy system. A brief introduction provides the reader with the background as to why ...

    • A development path for small wind energy systems in South Africa 

      Olatayo, Kunle Ibukun (North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
      South Africa‟s electricity generation is primarily through coal, and this contributes significantly to the country‟s high carbon emissions. In 2010, the Department of Energy, initiated the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) ...

    • Wind excitation structure design and evaluation for a vibration pump 

      Pretorius, L.P. (North-West University (South Africa)., 2017)
      A wind excitation structure was designed, built, tested and experimentally evaluated. This excitation structure was used to drive a vibration pump. The vibration pump excluded any rotating parts. The design entailed that ...
