Full textKappa statistic and its variance were used to determine the optimum classification approach for each dataset and at each level of detail. No significant differences were observed between classification techniques at Level I, however at Level II the supervised classification approach produced significantly better results for the Landsat TM and SPOT HRV data. Classification at the more general Level I did not produce substantially higher classification rates compared to the same data at Level II. Additionally, higher spatial resolution data did not provide increased accuracy, however this was due mainly to a much greater complexity of land covers present at the time the higher resolution Landsat TM and SPOT HRV data were recorded.Land cover changes were assessed separately at Level I for all datasets, and also between Landsat TM and SPOT HRV data at Level II. Integrated multiscale assessment of land cover change was undertaken using classified Landsat MSS data at Level I and Landsat TM data at Level 11. This enabled the continuity of change to be established across classification levels and sensor systems, even though there were variations in the level of detail extracted from each image.The sources of spatial and thematic errors in the data were investigated and their effects on change assessment analysed. The evaluation of high resolution panchromatic satellite data emphasised the contribution to the analysis of spatial errors contained within the reference data. The multiscale data also indicated that combined propagation of spatial and thematic errors requires investigation using appropriate simulation modelling to establish the influence of data uncertainty on classification and change assessment results.This research provides useful results for demonstrating a process for the integration of information derived from remotely sensed data at different measurement ++
scales. Availability of data from an increasing range of remote sensing platforms and uncertainty of long term data availability emphasises the need to develop flexible interpretation and analysis approaches. This research adds value to the existing data archive by demonstrating how historical data may be integrated regardless of the spectral and spatial characteristics of the sensors.

Full textRural communities are often unable to access electrical energy due to their distant location away from the national grid. Renewable energy sources (RESs) make it possible to provide electrical energy to these isolated areas. Sustainable generation is possible at a local level and is not dependant on connection to a national power grid. Microgrids are small scale, stand-alone electricity networks that harness energy at its geographical location, from natural resources. These small scale power grids are either connected to a national grid or operate separately by obtaining their power from an RES. Microgrids are becoming increasingly popular because they can provide electricity, independently of the national grid. The size of microgrid systems are dependent on the amount of energy that needs to be drawn and the amount of energy that has to be stored. Mechanical and electrical system component sizes become bigger due to increased operational energy requirements. Increases in component sizes are required on growing power networks when higher current levels are drawn. Energy management of microgrids must thus be introduced to prevent overloading the power grid network and to extend the operational life of the storage batteries. Energy management systems consist of different components which are seen as operational units. Operational units are responsible for measurement, communication, decision–making and power supply switching control, to manipulate the power output to meet the energy demands. Due to the increasing popularity of DC home appliances, it is important to explore the possibility of keeping these microgrids on a DC voltage basis. Electrical generation equipment such as photovoltaic panels can be used to generate DC at designed voltage levels. The energy management system connects the user loads and generation units together to form the microgrid. The aim of this study was to carry out the design of an agent–based energy management system for rural and under-developed communities. It investigates how the control of the output of the energy management system can be carried out to service the loads. The simulations were done using the following software packages: Simulink, Matlab, and SimPowerSystems. PV sources, energy management system (EMS) and user load parameters are varied in the simulation software to observe how the control algorithm executes load shedding. A stokvel-type charge share concept is dealt with where the state-of-charge (SOC) of batteries and user consumption will determine how grid loads are managed. Load shedding within the grid is executed by monitoring energy flow and calculating how much energy is allowed to be used by each consumer. The energy management system is programmed to always provide the largest amount of energy to the consumer with the lowest energy consumption for each day. The batteries store surplus electrical energy during the day. Load shedding starts at 18:00 each day. Users will be disconnected from the grid whenever their allotted energy capacity were depleted.

Full textClear the importance of the use of satellite imagery of high resolution as a tool in many areas, allowing agility, quality and low cost to users, it is also important, the study of the application of these images in the multipurpose rural technical cadaster, since the information cadastral accurate and updated, obtained quickly, with quality and attractive cost-benefit, is a key component to the decision-making process by the competent agencies. Besides the environmental cadaster with the regulations of Law 10.267/2001, which is the georreferencing of rural property, the geometric rural technical cadaster comes deserving special attention because of the big discussions and doubts generated around this theme. The goal of this study, therefore, is to investigate the applicability of the images of high spatial resolution of the sensor QuickBird II in the multipurpose rural technical cadaster of an rural area with relief slightly wavy and compare the recommendations of the Technical Standard for georreferencing of rural property of the INCRA, mainly regarding measurements of natural limits (drainings), with the results gotten the image. For this, was used an image of the related orbital sensor in pancromatic and multispectral modes, in its raw state, that is, without any kind of treatment. From the raw image, there was a technique of merger, in order to work with an image of high spectral and spatial resolution at the same time. To follow it was become the planimetric geometric correction image (register) and the georreferencing, using 19 measured points of control in field with GPS technology, following the generation of a MDT through curves-of-level of 10 in 10 meters the Brazilian systematic mapping. Of ownership of this MDT, as well as of the MDT's SRTM with pixel of 90 meters, generated two ortho-images through the process of orthorrectification (altimetric geometric correction). From ortho-images, has been the corresponding vectors to the limit of the Experimental Station Agronomic of UFRGS, soil South, pilot area of study. After the three vectors generated corresponding, respectively, to the topographical map of scale 1:25.000, the image orthorrectificated through curves-of-level and image orthorrectificated through MDT's SRTM, compared themselves with the results measured by the limit conventional techniques of topography, which was taken as a reference. To reach the goals of the work, is evaluated separately the limit dried and the natural limit, respecting its particularities. After analyzed the results, concluded that the best product comes from the image orthorrectificated by MDT of the SRTM, with accuracy of 1.90 meters and it isrecommended to use this, on a scale of reference maximum of 1:8.000, given largely the needs of the administration of a rural property, as well as the planning and management of a forestry project. With regard to the determination of natural limits (drainingss), it is concluded that the orbital image orthorrectificated by MDTof the SRTM is 3,5 times more accurate that the existing mapping, recommended by the Norm of INCRA.

Full textThis study investigates the use of off-grid micro-hydrokinetic river system as a cost-effective and sustainable electricity supply option for remote rural residents in close proximity to flowing water and not having access to grid electricity. This hydrokinetic technology is still in the development stage and there is a lack of application especially in rural areas with reasonable water resource. This study will present the economic and environmental benefits of the proposed system. A mathematical model is developed to simulate the system performance as submitted to different solicitations. A test prototype will also be used in order to validate the simulation results.
