  • Validating the acceptance zone for PV modules using a simplified measuring approach 
    Swart, Arthur James; Hertzog, Pierre Eduard (IEEE Explore: Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI-CON), 2016 13th International Conference, 2016)
    Optimizing the output power of any PV module involves a number of factors, including the tilt angle, orientation angle and environmental conditions. However, many PV modules are not installed at the suggested orientation ...
  • Validating the optimum tilt angle for PV modules in a semi-arid region of South Africa for the winter season 
    Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur James (IEEE Explore: Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology (ECTI-CON), 2016 13th International Conference, 2016)
    Optimizing the output power of any PV module involves a number of factors, including the setting of the tilt angle. The purpose of this paper is to present empirical evidence validating the optimum tilt angle for PV module ...
  • Variability in soil properties and its consequences for design 
    Stott, P.R.; Theron, E. (First Southern African Geotechnical Conference, At Sun City, South Africa, 2016)
    It has been observed that when samples from one particular layer of one particular test pit are analysed by different laboratories the results may vary over an alarmingly large range. Jakobsz and Day (2007) suggested that ...
  • Verifying an economic viable load for experimental purposes relating to small scale PV modules 
    Swart, Arthur James James; Hertzog, Pierre Eduard (SATNAC2016, At Fancourt, George, Western Cape, South Africa, 2016)
    Optimizing the output power of any PV module requires a number of factors to be considered, including the tilt angle, orientation angle, environmental conditions and the energy management system. This system often ...
  • Views of Construction Accident Analysis in Bloemfontein 
    Emuze, Fidelis; Yolisa, Madikane. (11th Built Environment Conference, 2017)
    The reported study examined how infographic analysis of construction accidents can uncover unsafe acts and conditions. Design: The phenomenology study obtained data through 26 semi structured interviews conducted among ...
  • Virtual commissioning: A tool to ensure effective system integration 
    Vermaak, Herman; Niemann, Johan (IEEE International Workshop of Electronics, Control, Measurement, Signals and their Application to Mechatronics (ECMSM), 2017)
    South African industry today need to utilise the available technology across disciplines to compete globally. One of the latest trends in the system integration field is to use virtual commissioning. Virtual commissioning ...
  • Visualising the effect of different tilt angles on the switch-on time of small PV modules using a simplified measuring approach 
    Swart, Arthur James (IEEE Xplore: IEEE AFRICON, 2017)
    Renewable energy systems are receiving more and more attention, as governments and industry seek to reduce fossil fuel usage and provide more clean energy. PV systems fall into this category, and are especially sought ...
