Development of an online broadband impedance spectroscopy extraction system of PV modules through switch-mode converters by Shelembe, Lindani

“…To enable more detailed online diagnostics, linear impedance spectroscopy, a frequency-based characterization technique implemented through a DC-DC switch-mode converter, has been shown to provide fast and reliable impedance information that can be utilized to diagnose the condition of batteries and fuel cells in real-time. …”

Implementation and evaluation of the Pitman model in seasonal hydrological forecasting mode using the Kraai River catchment in Eastern Cape South Africa as a case study by Fikileni, Sesethu

“…This work deals with implementation and evaluation of the Pitman/Water Resources Simulation Model 2012 model (WR2012) in seasonal hydrological forecasting mode. The aim of the study is to improve the understanding of seasonal hydrological forecasting by evaluating the performance of a hydrological model (Pitman Model) in the seasonal forecast mode in Kraai River tertiary catchment (D13) as a case study and the objectives are: To determine steps to be undertaken to implement integration of Pitman in WR2012 configuration with climate forecast to generate seasonal hydrological forecast and to evaluate the performance of the model forced by climate model data in the simulation and forecast mode. …”
