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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Cost savings on mine dewatering pumps by reducing preparation– and comeback loads
(2014)
Using chilled water within South African gold mines is paramount to the purpose of extracting gold ore efficiently. Using water for cooling, drilling and sweeping and the release of underground fissure water causes the ...
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 ...
Analysing the effect of DSM projects at South African cement factories
(2015)
In any developing country an increasingly higher demand for electricity supply exists. South Africa experienced load shedding during late 2007 and early 2008 and again in 2014 due to a supply shortfall. New power stations ...
Integration of electricity cost saving interventions on a water distribution utility
(2014)
Electrical energy has become a very important and integrated part of the current era. Electricity cost saving interventions, such as load shifting, form part of demand side management (DSM) interventions. DSM interventions ...
