Modelling of the deaerator system in Flownex by Banda, Richard Bobby

“…The study of the steady-state and dynamic behaviour of thermal power plants is of interest and significant benefit in different engineering fields ranging from research and design, to the assistance of operator training, plant optimization, fault finding and failure analysis. In light of the these benefits, and the increasing electrical energy demand in South Africa, the Eskom Power Plant Engineering Institute Centre for Energy Efficiency intends to build a transient simulation model of a coal fired power plant. …”

Integrated life-cycle cost & risk optimization framework for coastal protection structures by El Hakea, Ayman Hassan Abdel-Wahab

“…By calculating the average maintenance and repair per meter run of every coastal structure, corresponding to the condition of the structure, a Genetic-Algorithm (GA) – based Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) optimization modeling is then developed with the aim to minimize the total LCC for the entire coastal assets up to year 2050, while achieving the minimum reliability of structures, expressed as a Priority Index (PI). …”
