Benefits of improved performance monitoring of mine cooling systems
Holman, A.M.; Heyns, G.P.; Pelzer, R. (IEEE, 2014)Mine cooling system components are an integral part of a mine's ventilation system. A mine's reliance on these capital intensive components are set to increase as mines deepen. Mine cooling systems consume up to a quarter ... -
Developing a dynamic control system for mine compressed air networks
Van Heerden, S.W.; Pelzer, R.; Marais, J.H. (IEEE, 2014)Mines in general, make use of compressed air systems for daily operational activities. Compressed air on mines is traditionally distributed via compressed air ring networks where multiple shafts are supplied with compressed ... -
Effective multi-level energy reporting in South African industry
Maneschijn, R.; Vosloo, J.C.; Pelzer, R. (IEEE, 2014)Energy management standards received significant attention in recent years for assisting intensive users in improving energy management processes. However, applying such a standard to the Energy Management System of an ... -
Quantification of optimal electricity cost risk reduction for a South African gold mining company
Van der Zee, L.F.; Pelzer, R.; Bolt, G. (IEEE, 2014)Electricity cost risks such as carbon tax, ECS and unavoidable tariff increases threaten the financial wellbeing of South African gold mines. Some of these proposed cost risks are however not enforced as yet. However, once ... -
Simplified performance monitoring of energy systems
Goosen, P.; Prinsloo, I.M.; Pelzer, R. (IEEE, 2014)Large energy consumers face mounting pressure due to recent energy cost increases, as well as regulatory requirements and limitations. Therefore, energy performance monitoring is an essential component of many modern ... -
Strategies for energy efficiency funding in the absence of industrial Eskom-IDM support
Bolt, G.D.; Vosloo, J.C.; Pelzer, R. (IEEE, 2014)In the absence of industrial Eskom-IDM (Industrial Demand Management) funding, industry is forced to look elsewhere for energy efficiency project funding. This paper outlines various taxes and government incentives for ...
