Case Study Of Gravity-Fed Mountain Spring Tap System In Ha Leronti, Lesotho, Africa, Sarah Peterson Jan 2021

Case Study Of Gravity-Fed Mountain Spring Tap System In Ha Leronti, Lesotho, Africa, Sarah Peterson

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports

Water security has been declining rapidly in Lesotho, Africa in recent years. Lack of water has led to food insecurity, livestock deaths, and the spread of disease. Rural Basotho depend on rainfall to sustain their livelihoods; however, precipitation variability has recently increased due to climate change. For those who reside in the highlands of Lesotho, mountain springs can be a clean source of water. The tap system in the village of Ha Leronti relies on gravity to distribute water from two mountain springs to the ten village taps and nearby school campus. However, it is incapable of transporting the basic …

Optimal Directional Overcurrent Relay Coordination Based On Computationalintelligence Technique: A Review, Suzana Pil Ramli, Muhammad Usama, Hazlie Mokhlis, Wei Ru Wong, Muhamad Hatta Hussain, Munir Azam Muhammad, Nurulafiqah Nadzirah Mansor

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An exponential increase in diverse load demand in the last decade has influenced the integration of more power plants into the power system. This increases the fault current due to the bidirectional flow of current, resulting in unwanted tripping of the relays if not properly coordinated. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure the installation of relays in the grid being able to sense the fault current from any direction (i.e. upstream or downstream). This can be accomplished by introducing an optimal directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) coordination scheme into the system. This paper presents an in-depth review of the applications of …

Efficient Power Macromodeling Approach For An Ip-Based Soc System Usingdiscrete Water Cycle Algorithm, Faisal Siddiq, Yaseer Arafat Durrani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Low-power consumption is becoming a crucial concern that cannot be neglected in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Low-power solutions help designers to provide a powerful methodology to analyze, estimate, and optimize today's power concerns. Early estimation of power at a high level reduces the redesign cycle and turn-around time. Power dissipation is a function of input patterns and their characteristics. This paper describes a power estimation technique by using predefined statistical characteristics-based input patterns, which gives the average power dissipation of individual intellectual property (IP) blocks and interconnects/buses in an SoC system design.
