Development of a mathematical model for reactive power transmission costs in electric power systems
(IEEE http://www.saiee.org.za/publications/2008/sept/99-3-4.pdf, 2008)
The paper gives detailed analyses to help determine the increase in production costs due to the transmission
of reactive power. On the basis of that and with due consideration to the cost of VARS compensation equipment, ...
Constraints to promoting people centred approaches in recycling
(2008-07-02)
Public participation is considered the touchstone for the success of recycling schemes. In recognition of this, the trend in recycling policy and legislation is geared towards promoting people centred approaches in recycling ...
