    • Business case for industrial DSM maintenance 

      Groenewald, H.J.; Van Rensburg, J.F.; Marais, J.H. (IEEE, 2014)
      The performance of industrial DSM projects often deteriorates without proper maintenance. Underperforming DSM projects waste money and increase the demand for electricity from Eskom. A solution to this problem is dedicated ...

    • Combined electricity and water supply strategy for the department of water affairs 

      Scheepers, C.F.; Bolt, G.D.; Van Rensburg, J. (IEEE, 2014)
      In the recent years various Demand Side Management (DSM) projects were successfully completed on Department of Water Affairs (DWA) pump schemes. Each pump scheme consists of a number of pump stations which transfer water ...

    • A holistic approach to presenting DSM project results 

      Booysen, W.; Van Rensburg, J.F.; Kleingeld, M. (IEEE, 2014)
      A slight variance in dataset quality or baseline model accuracy can affect the level of confidence at which DSM project results are calculated. General measurement and verification (M&V) guidelines mitigate this inherent ...

    • Implementing DSM interventions on water reticulation systems of marginal deep level mines 

      Van Niekerk, A.; Uys, D.C.; Van Rensburg, J.F. (IEEE, 2014)
      South Africa's steep electricity tariff increases have forced the mining industry to be more cost effective. One way is by implementing demand side management (DSM) projects. Energy saving priorities focused mainly on mines ...

    • Increasing DSM savings on a process plant by selecting the correct tariff structure 

      Hamer, W.; Kgwetiane, P.; Vosloo, J.C. (IEEE, 2014)
      South African industries are under increasing budgetary pressure with the current rise of electricity costs above inflation. In addition to this, industries that are supplied through municipalities have to cope with ...
