    • Design, analysis and experimental evaluation of a vibration energy generator 

      De Beer, Johan Adam Enslin (North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)
      Generating energy from ambient vibration is a method of harvesting green energy. Harvesting energy in this manner is similar to that of solar and wind energy harvesting. The vibration energy generator discussed in this ...

    • Development of an active pitch control system for wind turbines 

      Den Heijer, Francois Malan (North-West University, 2008)
      A wind turbine needs to be controlled to ensure its safe and optimal operation, especially during high wind speeds. The most common control objectives are to limit the power and rotational speed of the wind turbine by using ...

    • Exact approaches towards solving generator maintenance scheduling problems 

      Van Niekerk, T.K. (North-West University (South Africa), 2019)
      The holistic management of a national power system is faced with multiple long and short-term scheduling challenges. One of the key long-term scheduling problems is referred to as the generator maintenance scheduling problem ...
