Abstract:

Business leaders use enterprise resource planning (ERP) to integrate and streamline business functions and processes. Each year, the majority of these projects fail due to project managers' ineffective management of the project scope. The successful implementation of ERP software enhances the flow of information in organizations and tends to improve the performance of employees and job satisfaction, resulting in improved sustainability and profitability. The Leavitt organizational change management model was used as the conceptual framework for this multiple-case study. The purpose of the stud

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses two sets of challenges facing processor design as the industry enters the deep sub-micron region of semiconductor design. The first set of challenges relates to the memory bottleneck. As the focus shifts from scaling processor frequency to scaling the number of cores, performance growth demands increasing die area. Scaling the number of cores also places a concurrent area demand in the form of larger caches. While on-chip caches occupy 50-60% of area and consume 20-30% of energy expended on-chip, their performance and energy efficiencies are less than 15% and 1% res

Water and energy are two of the most important resources for societal prosperity and economic development. It is clear that water and energy are intrinsically linked together and depend on one another in modern society.

From management perspective, water and energy are still managed separately. Little work has been done to investigate the impacts of the management options associated with one resource on the other and examine the integrated water and en

These microgrids can share power with the main grid or operate islanded from the grid.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>In January 2011, the Western Cape Department of Economic Development, in partnership with the City of Cape Town, decided to establish a renewable energy manufacturing hub in Atlantis. This initiative was based on the opportunity emanating from the large-scale deployment of renewable energy in South Africa, of which the Western Cape would receive a significant proportion. This would result in billions of rands in investment in the province; the key would be to ensure that the expenditure on renewable energy equipment translates into local man

University of Stellenbosch Business School<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examined the relationship between economic structure and energy intensity in selected developed and developing countries of the world. A methodological and systematic approach was adopted to select the thirty-one countries explored in the study. Therefore, to answer the research questions posed in the study, the Granger Causality Technique and the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) method were used. This study discovered that the variables examined in the study showed variations. The variations emerged because of diffe

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.<br>Gaia Power is a South African start-up in the renewable energy industry. Among other products, they developed a wave energy converter, which is a device used to extract energy from ocean waves. This research deals with the economic feasibility study of the wave energy converter. Wave energy is a young field of research, especially in the South African context. Therefore sources for multiple angles of the project had to be found, analysed and brought into the Gaia Power context. Understanding the cost drivers of a wave energy plant was the foundat

Abstract:

The recent increase of electric cars adoption will inuence the electricity demand in the distributionnetworks which risks to be higher than the maximum power available in the grid, if not well planned. Forthis reason, it is on the DSOs and TSOs's interest to plan carefully coordinated charging of a bulk of EVsas well as assess the possibility of EVs acting as energy storages with the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) or Vehicleto-Building (V2B) capability. When parked and plugged into the electric grid, EVs will absorb energy andstore it, being also able to deliver electricity back to the grid/building (V
