A successful and just energy transition is subject to policies that adhere a multi-dimensional approach renewable development. To achieve success in development, well-thought-out efficient must be implemented. This paper aims address major shortcoming development terms of understanding recognising the policy space promotes or hampers growth. The examines relevant literature identify themes factors thematic analysis was conducted using hybrid inductive deductive resulted identification 5...
Purpose Asset management is often one of the last options to maximise cost savings in a competitive global economy due its intrinsic complexity, especially many developing countries. process industry must consider commissioning, operational and end‐of‐life phases physical assets when commencing design implementation project. However, current asset models show inefficiencies terms addressing life cycle costs comprehensively, as well other aspects sustainable development. An (ALCM) model...
The resilient microgrid (MG) capacity planning and optimisation problem is widely recognised as a non-deterministic polynomial time-hard (NP-hard) problem. Accordingly, metaheuristics – top-level algorithms inspired by various natural physical processes can be utilised to determine the near optimality in designing MGs. However, comprehensive review of mainstream literature has shown that performance several not yet been evaluated. In response, this paper first systematically benchmarks...
Smallholder farmers in South Africa find it challenging to participate the modern economy. Most of these have limited access credit and insurance, markets which sell their produce. This paper reviews ethnographic research data argues that smallholder struggle take part agricultural value chains Africa. System dynamics modelling is used understand relating value-chain participants, determine whether sufficient answer question as participants potentially largest impact on farmers. The results...
