Investigating the relationships between land use characteristics, public transport network features and financial viability at a corridor scale by Cooke, Sean

“…The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between land use characteristics, network features and viable public transport services in the South African context and at a corridor scale. The study utilises a public transport corridor operating cost model that was created to simulate the effects of variation in four land use characteristics (population density, density distribution, land use mix and destination accessibility) and two public transport network features (mode technology and service configuration) on the financial viability of services. …”

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. …”

Impact of climate change and irrigation development on hydropower supply in the Zambezi River Basin, and implications for power sector development in the Southern African Power Poo... by Spalding-Fecher, Dennis Randall

“…This is very likely to change in the future, as increased demand from all sectors, and major potential changes in climate will require more explicit agreements across both countries and user groups on how best to utilise a limited resource. This research demonstrates the tools that could be used to integrate both climate change and upstream development demands into the feasibility studies before investment decisions are made. …”
