Carbon dioxide pollution reduction through load shift projects
(IEEE, 2014)Significant advances have been made in automation technology allowing systems to shift electricity consumption from peak periods to off-peak periods. Load shift projects have been implemented throughout South Africa for ... -
Energy efficiency through variable speed drive control on a cascading mine cooling system
(IEEE, 2014)An ever-expanding global industry focuses on energy supply and use. Cost-effective electrical energy production and reduced consumption pave the way for this expansion. Eskom's demand-side management (DSM) initiative ... -
An integrated energy efficiency strategy for deep mine ventilation and refrigeration
(IEEE, 2014)Mine-cooling and ventilation energy cost saving projects are implemented ad hoc and scattered throughout the system. Therefore, an overhead view and strategy is needed to help realise the total savings available on the ... -
Modernising underground compressed air DSM projects to reduce operating costs
(IEEE, 2014)Compressed air is an energy intensive utility that is frequently used in the deep level mining industry. Most compressed air networks are designed to ensure ample compressed air supply to consumers. This has created the ...
