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 ...
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 ...
A management framework for accelerated development and retention of young engineers : Eskom as a case study
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)
Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd was in need of a means to optimise their existing engineer training programme in order to accelerate the development of young engineers and improve the retention rate of young engineers in the ...
Cost effective control of a platinum mine cooling system using combined DSM strategies
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)
The platinum mining industry in South Africa faces various challenges. Increasing labour and energy costs as well as dropping commodity prices threaten the sustainability of the industry. Reducing energy usage and cost ...
A unique energy–efficiency–investment–decision–model for energy services companies
(2008)
To remain competitive in an environment with limited natural resources and ever-increasing
operational costs, energy efficiency cannot be ignored. From this perspective the need for
Energy Service Companies (ESCos) has ...
Integration of DSM interventions into bulk water supply strategies
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2015)
Supplying water to communities, industries and agricultural developments within South Africa is a cardinal task undertaken by the Department of Water Affairs (DWA). South Africa is a water-scarce country with an uneven ...
