    • Automated electricity bill analysis in South Africa 

      Goosen, P.; Mathews, M.J.; Vosll, J.C. (Univ Stellenbosch, 2017)
      The ever-increasing cost of energy puts industries under pressure. Industries are forced to monitor their energy consumption and to manage energy more efficiently and responsibly. Some industrial companies have multiple ...
    • Effective multi-level energy reporting in South African industry 

      Maneschijn, R.; Vosloo, J.C.; Pelzer, R. (IEEE, 2014)
      Energy management standards received significant attention in recent years for assisting intensive users in improving energy management processes. However, applying such a standard to the Energy Management System of an ...
    • Evaluating the feasibility of the 12L tax incentive for energy-intensive industries 

      Campbell, K.; Booysen, W.; Vosloo, J.C. (Univ Stellenbosch, 2017)
      Section 12L of the South African Income Tax Act (12L) aims to incentivise businesses to become more energy-efficient. However, claiming this benefit is a complex process that can become difficult, time-consuming, and costly ...
    • A generic approach to integrating energy related data 

      Du Plessis, J.N.; Fockema, R.A.P.; Vosloo, J.C. (IEEE, 2014)
      The energy management processes of mines and industrial plants differ because of the specialised processes used for mining or production. Therefore, energy management systems typically provide users with specialised tools ...
    • Improving data management for environmental reporting in the gold mining industry 

      Janse van Rensburg, H.M.; Gous, A.G.S.; Vosloo, J.C.; Van Heerden, M. (Stellenbosch Univ, 2019)
      Environmental reporting is a realistic alternative for mines to prioritise operational changes in crucial environmental areas. Gold mines report to multiple platforms – i.e., integrated reporting. All these platforms ...
    • Increasing DSM savings on a process plant by selecting the correct tariff structure 

      Hamer, W.; Kgwetiane, P.; Vosloo, J.C. (IEEE, 2014)

      Bolt, G.D.; Vosloo, J.C.; Pelzer, R. (IEEE, 2014)
      In the absence of industrial Eskom-IDM (Industrial Demand Management) funding, industry is forced to look elsewhere for energy efficiency project funding. This paper outlines various taxes and government incentives for ...
    • Structuring uncertainty management for energy savings calculations 

      Johnson, K.A.; Hamer, W.; Vosloo, J.C. (Stellenbosch Univ, 2019)
      South Africa has committed itself to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. A key strategy to minimise the greenhouse gas intensity involves using incentivised energy efficiency initiatives. In South Africa, one of these ...
