Design Space Exploration for Salt Cooled Reactor Systems
… candidate to improve on the safety and economics of existing reactors. It has been suggested that FHR can benefit from advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (AGR) technologies and by that reducing the scale and time of the required R&D. This thesis contributes to the global FHR development effort by …

Techno-economic feasibility of a solar assisted coal power plant
The use of solar heat in conventional coal-fired power plants has been demonstrated to reduce the coal consumption of the plant. A reduction in the amount of coal that is burnt by the power plant, means that less greenhouse gases are emitted by the power plant. Hence, the plant has a smaller impact …

Modelling High-Temperature Thermal Storage Systems for Concentrated Solar Power Plants
… energy storage (TES) is an important aspect of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems addressing the mismatch between electrical demand and supply profiles and intermittency in the solar resource. The design of TES components should be optimised from a system-level perspective to minimise the …

The role of concentrating solar power in a South African large scale renewable energy scenario
… long term future using 2050 as a nominal year of analysis. Simulation modeling was used to assess the integration of three renewable energy technologies, which are currently being installed at utility scales in South Africa, at much higher penetrations. These technologies, namely wind, …

The Electricity Crisis in Nigeria : Building a New Future to Accommodate 20% Renewable Electricity Generation by 2030
As part of efforts to curb the protracted electricity problem in Nigeria, the government enacted the National Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Policy (NREEEP) in 2014. Through this policy, the country plans to increase its electricity generation from renewables to 20% by 2030. This thesis …
