Sustaining compressed air DSM project savings using an air leakage management system
(North-West University, 2010)
Unreliable and unsustainable electricity supply has been experienced in South Africa since
2007. Eskom implemented Demand Side Management (DSM) as a short-term solution to
alleviate this problem. Several compressed-air ...
Sustained energy performance on compressed air systems for expanding gold mines
(2013)
The energy provider in South Africa, Eskom, faces an increasing electricity demand. The need to ensure sufficient supply gave rise to Demand Side Management (DSM) projects scheme. The DSM focus has shifted to the mining ...
Sustainability of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme in South Africa
(2014)
The sustainability of the REIPPP programme was as yet unknown. Through this study control drivers critical for the sustainability of the REIPPP programme were identified and prioritised. As background sustainability was ...
A DSM approach for water usage and electricity costs on water distribution networks
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
Throughout the world – and particularly in South Africa – there is a need to use water more
efficiently. Water demand increases, water pollution and climate change are placing our limited water
resources under tremendous ...
Sustainable development challenges of contemporary technologies : Nigeria liquefied-natural-gas project as a case study
(North-West University, 2008)
The way people view development is changing. The world now advocates for a development that also considers future generations. There is a paradigm shift towards sustainable development - a development in today's lifestyle ...
Development of processes to improve sustainability of industrial IDM projects
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
Eskom, the primary supplier of electricity in South Africa, is struggling to keep up with the country’s demand. This led to the creation of the Integrated Demand Management (IDM) Division which funds projects implemented ...
Residential electrification design topology evaluation model - the sustainable approach for residential developments
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)
Residential development electrification is a key societal element which signifies development in developing countries. The impact of the residential development needs to cater not only for the current needs, but consider ...
Practical implementation of reliability centered maintenance principles and practices : a hot strip mill as case study
(2015)
Reliability-Cenetred Maintenance (RCM) is a well-known maintenance process developed in the aviation industry. It has yielded great success and hence was the process adapted to be used in the more industrial environments, ...
An automated solution to facilitate sustainable DSM in the mining environment
(North-West University, 2008)
South Africa is experiencing a serious electricity supply problem. This problem is expected to persist until at least 2012. During the winter of 2006 load shedding and electricity supply-cuts started occurring in the Western ...
Expanding compressed air management through cross cut isolation
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)
Compressed air on deep-level mines is regarded as an important source of energy for underground mining operations, as the compressed air network forms the backbone of several mining processes over a 24-hour mining cycle. ...
