Category-based multiobjective approach for optimal integration of distributed generation and energy storage systems in distribution networks

Author: Adetunji, KE ; Hofsajer, IW ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI ; Cheng, L Date: Feb 2021 Distributed generation (DG) units are power generating plants that are very important to the architecture of present power system networks. The primary benefits of the addition of these units are to increase the power supply and improve the ... Read more
Development of a power system simulation model for a South African commercial entity’s reticulation network

Author: Kamera, Ketrine P ; Hlatshwayo, Mluleki C ; Moholisa, Tsolo E ; Rampokanyo, Mpeli J ; Tazvinga, Henerica Date: Aug 2018 Increasing electricity prices and the declining cost of renewables have led to several industrial, commercial and residential customers in South Africa pursuing the installation of generation “behind the meter” in order to reduce their ...

Distributed generation for South Africa based on renewable energy resources

Author: Szewczuk, S Date: Oct 2009 The hybrid mini-grid systems at the Hluleka Nature Reserve and Lucingweni on the Wild coast of the Eastern Cape Province of South African were implemented to provide the experience necessary to develop a nation wide rollout plan for hybrid ... Read more
Distributed power generation using microturbines

Author: Szewczuk, S Date: Nov 2008 At present, the bulk of the world is electricity is generated in central power stations. This approach, one of `economy of size generates electricity in large power stations and delivers it to load centres via an extensive network of transmission ... Read more
Eastern Cape hybrid mini-grid systems - a case study

Author: Szewczuk, S Date: May 2010 This presentation provides a rationale for off-grid projects, and then briefly discusses renewable energy for rural electrification in the Eastern Cape. The impact of this project, and related research work, is also touched on. Read more
Impact of increased penetration levels of distributed inverter-based generation on transient stability

Author: Rampokanyo, Mpeli J ; Kamera, Ketrine P Date: Jun 2018 The introduction of renewable energy (RE) generation onto the Grid has major benefits such as low carbon footprint on the environment and cheaper or free primary energy sources. However the introduction of RE generation is certainly not without ... Read more
Investigating the impact of integration of photovoltaic plants at a microgrid level: A case study

Author: Moholisa, Tsolo E ; Rampokanyo, Mpeli J ; Tazvinga, Henerica ; Senatla, Mamahloko ; Mushwana, Crescent ; Dzobo, O Date: Nov 2019 South Africa has seen an increase in the integration of renewable resources in the distribution network for improved reliability, clean energy footprint and energy costs. The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)’s main campus ... Read more
A novel dynamic planning mechanism for allocating electric vehicle charging stations considering distributed generation and electronic units

Author: Adetunji, KE ; Hofsajer, IW ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI ; Cheng, L Date: Nov 2022 Achieving a sustainable and efficient power systems network and decarbonized environment involves the optimal allocation of multiple distributed energy resource (DERs) unit types and flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) ... Read more
An optimization planning framework for allocating multiple distributed energy resources and electric vehicle charging stations in distribution networks

Author: Adetunji, KE ; Hofsajer, IW ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI ; Cheng, L Date: Sep 2022 In developing a sustainable and efficient power systems network while reducing carbon footprint, renewable energy (RE)-based Distribution Generation (DG) units are highly recommended. Furthermore, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and ... Read more
Renewable energy systems for distributed generation in South Africa

Author: Szewczuk, S Date: Oct 2010 The South African Government is committed to universal access to electricity across South Africa. The South African Cabinet endorsed hybrid mini-grid systems as a potential means for non-grid and rural electrification. This Cabinet decision ... Read more
A review of metaheuristic techniques for optimal integration of electrical units in distribution networks

Author: Adetunji, KE ; Hofsajer, IW ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI ; Cheng, L Date: Jan 2021 The optimal integration of electrical units, such as distributed generation units, power electronic devices, and electric vehicles, is a significant development of smart grids. This development has effectively transformed the traditional grid ... Read more
Towards sustainable energy system options for improving energy access in Southern Africa

Author: Tazvinga, Tenerica ; Dzobo, O ; Mapako, Maxwell C Date: May 2020 Access to modern energy services is one of the pre-requisites to improved livelihood, yet the poor, particularly in developing countries, remain tied to unhealthy and inefficient traditional fuels. Renewable energy technologies are increasingly ... Read more
