Optimising the output power available from a photovoltaic panel through empirical testing

Osamede, Asowata (2013-09)

Einstein said, ‘‘the release of energy has not created a new problem, but has made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one’’. This dissertation presents a method of optimising the available output power from ...
Design and development of an off-grid e-learning centre for rural communities

Selaule, Vusimuze Edgar (2015-01)

The lack of electricity in off-grid rural communities in South Africa (SA) and Africa as well as the budget constraints on these communities restrict these communities from connecting to any online resources (internet and ...
Controlling a photovoltaic module's surface temperature to ensure high conversion efficiency

Ozemoya, Augustine (2015-06)

In order to facilitate sustainable development, it is necessary to further improve and increase the energy efficiency and use of renewable energy and its related technologies. The main limiting factors to the extensive use ...
Technology development of a maximum power point tracker for regenerative fuel cells

Jansen van Rensburg, Neil (2015-06)

Global warming is of increasing concern due to several greenhouse gases. The combustion of fossil fuels is the major contributor to the greenhouse effect. To minimalise this effect, alternative energy sources have to be ...
Development of 3D inkjet printing heads for high viscosity fluids

Van Tonder, Petrus Jacobus Malan (2015-07)

Opening up local markets for worldwide competition has led to the fundamental change in the development of new products. In order for the manufacturers to stay globally competitive, they should be able to attain and ...
Development of an additive manufacturing re-coater monitoring system for powder bed fusion systems

Du Rand, Francois (Vaal University of Technology, 2018-05)

In the world of research and development, the ability to rapidly manufacture a prototype or part has become a significant part of the manufacturing process. This requirement has given rise to some unique manufacturing ...
Design and optimisation of a universal battery management system in a photovoltaic application.

Ogunniyi, Emmanuel Oluwafemi (2018-08)

Due to the fickle nature of weather upon which renewable energy sources mostly depend, a shift towards a sustainable renewable energy system should be accompanied with a good intermediate energy storage system, such as a ...
