    • Condition based reliability simulator for power stations 

      Swanepoel, HF (North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)
      The SA Power Utility operates 27 power stations with a total nominal capacity of 41,995 MW, comprising 35,726 MW of coal-fired stations, 1,860 MW of nuclear, 2,409 MW of gas–fired, 2,000 MW hydro and pumped–storage stations ...

    • Failure prediction of critical mine machinery 

      Jacobs, J.A. (North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
      The South African mining industry is under immense economic pressure and has been following a negative trend over the last 30 years. It is thus imperative to regain a position at the front end of technological advances in ...

    • Failure prediction of mine compressors 

      Jacobs, Johannes A.; Mathews, Marc J.; Kleingeld, M. (Springer, 2019)
      A typical compressed air system on a deep-level mine requires a combination of compressors to supply sufficient energy to critical underground equipment for safe operation. These compressors are required to run continuously ...

    • Failure prediction of mine de-watering pumps 

      Jacobs, Johannes A.; Mathews, Marc J.; Kleingeld, M. (Springer, 2018)
      The de-watering reticulation system of a deep level mine requires a network of pumps to pump water from underground to the surface. These de-watering pumps are exposed to extreme operating conditions, which can result in ...
