Comparison between automated and manual DSM pumping projects
(North-West University, 2008)
The purpose of this dissertation is to identify the best alternative method of load shifting on clear water pumping systems in the mining industry. This can be done through a comparison analysis between manual and automated ...
Energy savings through the automatic control of underground compressed air demand
(North-West University, 2008)
The sole electricity supplier in South Africa, Eskom, currently has an electricity supply crisis. The supplier requires additional available electricity urgently, particularly during the evening peak period between 18:00 ...
DSM strategy for national water pumping systems
(North-West University, 2012)
The continual increase in electrical energy demand in South Africa has resulted in a precariously low reserve margin in supply from the primary utility, Eskom. This resulted in extensive load shedding throughout the country. ...
Demand side management on an intricate multi-shaft pumping system from a single point of control
(North-West University, 2007)
Eskom, the sole supplier of electricity in South Africa is facing an energy crisis. This
is due to the steady increase in demand for electricity in South Africa. Low electricity
prices in South Africa have helped the ...
Researching the long-term impact of load management projects on South African mines
(North-West University, 2006)
Eskom is currently facing an energy crisis due to the limited operational electricity generating capacity in South Africa. The historically low electricity price, the rapid growth in economy and the energy intensive nature ...
A new approach to ensure successful implementation and sustainable DSM in RSA mines
(North-West University, 2005)
In this study a new tool was developed that made new approaches possible for the successful implementation of Demand Side Management (DSM) projects. The new approaches are incorporated into a generic tool that makes it ...
Research into real-time energy management on old gold mines
(North-West University, 2006)
The South African Electricity Supply Industry is one of the backbone industries in South
Africa. During 2003, it became clear that the demand for electricity in South Africa was
increasing at a rate that had not been ...
Assessment of the national DSM potential in mine underground services
(North-West University, 2003)
ESKOM is moving towards a price structure for electricity which reflects, as far as
possible, the real cost of generation. It is called real time pricing (RTP). ESKOM
developed this cost structure to coax customers to ...
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 ...
