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. ...
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 ...
Electricity cost optimisation of a surface potable water pump system
(North-West University, 2007)
South Africa is fast approaching an era where its electrical energy demand will surpass the generating capacity of it's primary utility. The reason for this is due to the fact that over the past 10 years, the economic ...
