Abstract:
Sufficient energy supply is a fundamental necessity for the stimulation of socio-economic advancement. However, the current rapid rise in urbanisation has resulted in the significant increase in energy demands. Consequently, the current conventional energy supply systems are facing numerous challenges in meeting the world's growing demand for energy sustainably. Thus, there is an urgent and compelling need to develop innovative, more effective ways to integrate sustainable renewable energy solutions into the already existing systems or better yet, create new systems that all together make use

Abstract:
Major changes are taking place in the Sweden’s electricity system and steel industry. Through political agreements, the current government has set national goals of 100% renewable electricity generation and a net zero GHG emissions industry by 2040. This will be achieved by increasing renewable power generation, mainly wind power. In the steel industry, the steel manufacturing groups are beginning to transition to an electricity-based steel manufacturing processes to reduce their GHG emissions.

Abstract:
The South African electricity mix is highly dependent on subcritical coal-fired power stations. The average thermal efficiency of these power plants is low. Traditional methods to increase the thermal efficiency of the cycle have been widely studied and implemented. However, utilising the waste heat at the condenser, which accounts for the biggest heat loss in the cycle, presents a large potential to increase the thermal efficiency of the cycle. Several methods can be implemented for the recovery and utilisation of low-grade waste heat. This theoretical study focuses on replacing the tra

Abstract:
The life span of high temperature power plant pipework is principally a function of material creep damage - an irreversible plastic deformation of the material when subjected to temperatures and loads beyond a certain threshold. Within Eskom, the South African parastatal power utility, creep damage is primarily quantified by way of Metallographic Replication (replicas). This is a quasi NonDestructive Examination (NDE) technique that looks at the microstructure of the sample in question. Although well-known and used extensively, replicas, as with any technology, have their shortcomings. Extract

Abstract:
The demand for fossil fuels by Ontario's conventional steam power generation sector is examined. It is hypothesised that the enactment of a carbon fee policy will induce a change in the relative prices of the three fuels used in this sector (coal, natural gas and heavy fuel oil). This would lead to substantial interfuel substitution and greenhouse gas abatement. The demand share equations for the three fuels are derived from the translog functional form and set in a simulation model to estimate the value of a carbon fee necessary, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in compliance with the Kyoto

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Tech. Mechanical engineering -- Vaal University of Technology<br>Strict emission legislation has forced industry in general to seriously consider the negative impact it has on the environment, specifically concerning emissions from burning fossil fuel into the atmosphere. In cases where emission levels exceed the allowable limit, companies are forced to operate at lower operating conditions and these load losses can result in a significant loss of revenue. This has forced companies to improve their ash filtering capabilities by optimising electrostatic precipitation systems.
