Boiler system modelling using Flownex® by Rossouw, André

“…Flownex has been identified as the key software to accomplish the global objective of the Centre for Energy Efficiency under EPPEI at the University of Cape Town, which is to develop a software model of a complete coal-fired power station which includes all the main systems required for independent transient simulation. The boiler model captures the true geometric layout and flow orientation with associated characteristics of a wide variety of boiler designs utilised by Eskom. …”

Lateral-torsional buckling behaviour of monosymmetric steel sections formed with flange upstands by Mudenda, Kenny

“…The application of this domain has been demonstrated for linear elastic buckling cases as well as for inelastic buckling cases so that real member behaviour is also simulated. Although applied for strengthening cases in the current study the principle can be used for section optimization at member selection stage should members with upstands be an option. …”

The economic burden, patients' well-being, and social determinants related to diabetes in South Africa by Hellebo, Assegid

“…The specific objectives are: firstly, to use population life table modelling to estimate the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on the South African population, particularly in terms of productivity-adjusted life of years (PALYs) metric; secondly, to review and synthesise information regarding the costs and cost-effectiveness of managing T2D in SSA to enhance awareness, optimise resource allocation, and support evidence-based decision-making; thirdly, to investigate the role of social determinants of health (SDoH) in diabetes self-care management practices, emphasising the importance of maintaining optimal glycemic control; and lastly, to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and associated factors among people with diabetes in South Africa; lastly, to develop locally relevant utility score valuations for more accurate economic evaluations and healthcare decision-making in South Africa. …”

Subsynchronous resonance in series compensated networks with high penetration of renewable energy sources by Chikohora, Tinashe Edward

“…The dissertation dissects the SSR problem with emphasis on its management in a modern power system environment receiving rising RES and flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) connections through series compensated lines. The simulations performed in this study utilised the IEEE first benchmark model (FBM) within Digital Simulation and Electrical Network – PowerFactory (DIgSILENT) software. …”
