Creating additional network capacity on constrained medium voltage networks utilizing distributed generation (specifically PV technology) by Ramdhin, Avinash

“…Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was found to be best suited for this research due to its efficiency to solving non-linear optimization problems and is proposed as the appropriate method of optimally integrating DG to un- constrain MV networks. …”

Risk-return portfolio modelling by Gilbert, Emmeleen Ulita

“…The Troskie-Hossain innovation to the Sharpe Index model relaxes this assumption. We evaluate the Troskie-Hossain model relative to the Sharpe Index Model and Markowitz portfolio, and find that the Troskie-Hossain model approximates the Markowitz efficient frontier and optimal portfolio very closely. …”

Developments in anaerobic digestion modelling by Ghoor, Tasneem

“…Without adequate modelling of AD dynamics, the AD model cannot be used to model digester start-up, digester failure or even upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactors (which have temporary failure conditions at the bottom of the bed). …”

Leaching of nickel laterite with a solution of ammonia and ammonium carbonate utilizing solids liquid separation under pressure by Erasmus, Mothobi

“…The experimental data did not give linear fit to the shrinking core models investigated for the unroasted ore. The reason for this could be due to the sampling time interval which was too far apart, or the leaching behavior of roasted nickel is complicated and cannot explained by shrinking core model alone. …”

Optimal reliability-based design of bulk water supply infrastructure-incorporating pumping systems by Papathanasiou, Michael

“…This was seen as necessary owing to the vast spectrum of influences and the interrelation of parameters that constitute a bulk water supply system. A model developed by Chang & van Zyl (2012) sought to address this inefficiency by optimizing a bulk water supply system, with the core objectives of cost and reliability. …”
