Historically, distribution networks were made to connect consumer loads with no generating units at the point of consumption. For the last two decades, in response to increase electricity demand and environmental policies, decentralized generation, mainly constituted of Renewable Generation Sources (RES), also called Distributed Generators (DG), have massively and rapidly developed. The integration of DG units however, increase uncertainty in power system operation as they modify both the structure and the operation of the distribution networks, changing the magnitude and direction of network power flows. There is a need to investigate both the “effects and impact” of increasing penetration and siting of these intermittent RES on voltage and frequency stability power system and, the utilization of such sources to improve voltage stability margins. This paper presents different scenario of voltage stability studies in a static analysis mode in order to support voltage profile and reduce power line losses using photovoltaic systems. DigSILENT™ PowerFactory™ was used to conduct the investigation.

State estimation is crucial in the development of adequate network models for power system monitoring and analysis. It is the computing of the nearest estimation of the nodal voltage magnitude and phasor angle using measurements populated from the power system. Since its inception in the 1970s Power System State Estimation (PSSE) has been extensively researched and applied in power transmission systems. However, monitoring of the voltage magnitudes and line power flow beyond the distribution substations is only a recent phenomenon, hence distribution state estimation is still uncommon. The need for Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) is important since modern power systems comprise of distributed generation (DG) in consumer networks, that is; active distribution networks. This paper reviews early work in PSSE and DSSE. Bad data detection and identification, network observability analysis, meter placement and future research work directions are discussed.

In this paper the dynamics of a maximum power point wind energy battery charging system and the implementation of a DC to DC converter is investigated. The required design specifications for a sub 5 kW wind generator are discussed as well as the modelling of the different components of the wind energy system. The duty cycle control of the DC to DC converter for maximum power point tracking at different wind speeds is done by implementing a functional generator. The functional generator adjusts the duty cycle of the converter according to the generator speed. In order to investigate the duty cycle control method and the system’s stability the system is simulated with MATLAB Simulink to determine the response. It was found that the proposed duty cycle control method is effective in maximum power point tracking. Also, that the system’s response is stable for higher frequency disturbances.

Partial discharge, space charge and electric ion fields are phenomena that are responsible for flashovers on transmission lines and most of time cause power losses. These consequences lead to interruptions and loss of power supply. Atmospheric conditions in general and the temperature in particular is still not fully understood under DC excitation, especially when the applied voltage approached the critical breakdown value. Temperature has a great influence on corona discharge. In this study, the impact of temperature on the spatial distribution of the electric field, which can also be considered as one space charge source under DC supply was studied. A laboratory size corona cage with an aluminum tern conductor at its center, for the experiments in the high voltage laboratory. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the temperature on the spatial distribution on the DC conductor with the maximum DC voltage applied of ±175 kV and have a better understanding of the major factors that influence the spatial distribution processes under a high temperature. The corona camera version 8 (CoroCam8) was used to visualize the spatial distribution around the conductor. This has enabled to observe the effect of the temperature with the variation of the DC voltage, passing through inception voltage with the increased up to ±175 kV. The spatial distribution is denser when the temperature is high for the positive voltage and for the negative voltage.

Application of fast bus transfer schemes requires high speed circuit breakers in order to minimise the dead-time during the transfer process. On the other hand, combination of high and low inertia loads such as fans, pumps and mills leads to an increase in residual bus voltage frequency decay rate; which often result in fast bus transfer scheme failing to execute. In-phase bus transfer scheme, although slower than fast bus transfer scheme; can be considered as an alternate transfer process to transfer load when main power supply is lost as a result of upstream equipment failure. Unlike in the case of fast bus transfer scheme, high decay rate of residual voltage frequency is favorable for in-phase bus transfer process; while circuit breaker closing time does not necessarily impact the performance of the transfer scheme. The paper investigates the application of in-phase bus transfer scheme to transfer load to an alternate supply when the main supply is lost in a power plant unit auxiliary power distribution system. Simulation results presented in the paper indicate that in-phase bus transfer scheme can be used to transfer draught fan motors to an alternate supply while maintaining stable boiler furnace pressure, and therefore maintain process continuity.

In the field of computer vision, multi-class outdoor weather classification is a difficult task to perform due to diversity and lack of distinct weather characteristic or features. This research proposed a novel framework for identifying different weather scenes from still images using heterogeneous ensemble methods. Our approach is based on a method called Selection Based on Accuracy Intuition and diversity (SAID) of stacked ensemble algorithms. This involves the extraction of histogram of features from different weather scenes. The blending and boosting of different weather features using stacked ensemble algorithms increases recognition rate of different weather conditions compared to other classification and ensemble methods. The paper presents academic and practitioners a new insight into diversity of heterogeneous ensemble methods for solving the challenges of weather recognition from still images.

The Higher Education Partnerships in Sub Saharan Africa project is funded by the British Royal Academy of Engineering, and runs for 2 years from April 2017 to March 2019. It is a network of engineering faculties and schools in some Eastern and Southern African universities linked to a UK university with the aim of enhancing quality of engineering education and training. The project objective is to enhance the quality of engineering education and training through: academic staff secondment to industry; invitation of industry experts to university as guest lecturers; collaborative research with industry, industry supported curriculum review and knowledge sharing workshops. This paper presents the activities at Durban University of Technology and our efforts to enhance engineering training of technical staff through short-term industry internships and postgraduate studies. The goal is to produce graduate engineers and technicians: who possesses relevant skills, meet the expectations of modern industry and engineering professional bodies; graduates who are employable nationally and regionally. It is also expected to produce academic staff with enhanced practical experience and better teaching skills, which will enrich the relevant engineering curriculum at universities.

Mobile robots have provided solutions for materials handling operations in Advanced Manufacturing Systems. The smart manufacturing system of today relies on intelligent machines, devices and logistics integration to meet the challenges of consumer demands and mass customization. Machine (or robot) integration allows data access of high level supply chain silos. This provides for intelligent, machine programming that expedites processes to meet the change in consumer demands. The motivation of the research study was based around the consumer market and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0. The paper discusses the design, development and example of a framework for the robotic automation industry. The feature of the framework is distributive in architecture. This meets some of the challenges and requirements for a smart manufacturing system.
