Background
The Eskom Power Plant Engineering Institute (EPPEI) was established in 2012 and offers opportunities for research and post-graduation education in the power industry. Academic specialists at six leading universities, together with eight universities of technology in South Africa, team up with industry specialists to teach, mentor and guide…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/eppei-specialisation-centre-emissions-control/emissions-quantification
Emissions Quantification
The focus here is on monitoring and quantifying existing emissions from Eskom power stations in terms of greenhouse gases and pollutants. Also of importance is to understand the atmosphere into which emissions are released, the impact of emissions on air quality, long-term deposition to the biosphere and hydrosphere and contributions to the…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/eppei-specialisation-centre-emissions-control/emissions-control-technologies
Emissions Control Technologies
The focus here is on improving the performance of existing mitigation technologies for particulate matter, SO2 NOx, CO2 and Hg for South African coal characteristics and plant conditions. Masters and PhD studies can be pursued in topics related to the following research themes: [accordion collapsed] Electrostatic Precipitation (ESP…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/eppei-specialisation-centre-emissions-control/contact-details

Background
The relationship between mind and matter is perhaps the deepest intellectual challenge facing humanity. It links to wide ranges of science, philosophy and engineering, and has been infamously resistant to solution. In recent times, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a central theme in addressing this challenge, offering several insights that…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/must-deep-learning/research-projects

DL Theory Generalisation in Deep Learning A long-standing theoretical interest in our group is generalisation - that is, how exactly information learned on a training set of samples is transferred to novel inputs. This is particularly relevant in the context of Deep Learning: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/research/centre-excellence-carbon-based-fuels-0
Centre of Excellence in Carbon based Fuels
Vision The vision of the Centre of Excellence in Carbon-based Fuels is to be the leaders in developing carbon-based fuels for improvements in energy efficiency, operational reliability and availability, as well as in minimising the carbon footprint by reducing the impact of emissions in general in the South African energy offering.…http://engineering.nwu.ac.za/solar-car/sasol-solar-challenge-2018
