Electrification Planning in Zimbabwe: a GIS-based Approach
In Zimbabwe, the access to electricity is significantly low, especially in rural areas. This inhibits the economic and social development of the country. In order to tackle energy poverty, the government aims at Continue reading
Modelling and Simulation of a Power Take-off in Connection with Multiple Wave Energy Converters
ABSTRACT
The objective of this project is to develop a model that will integrate multiple buoys to a power take-off hub. The model will be derived using a time domain analysis and will consider the hydraulic coupling of the buoys and the Continue reading
