Strategies for energy efficiency funding in the absence of industrial Eskom-IDM support
(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 ...
A generic approach to integrating energy related data
(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 ...
Development and implementation of an advanced mobile data collection system
(SAIIE, 2016)
This paper describes the development and implementation of a generic data collection tool. The Mobile Information Collection and Verification System (MICAVS) provides users with a generic platform to create application ...
Reducing the communication costs of a remote monitoring and maintenance system for an energy services company (ESCo)
(SAIIE, 2016)
Demand-Side Management (DSM) initiatives can result in substantial electricity cost reductions. Energy Service Companies (ESCos) typically perform remote monitoring and maintenance to ensure sustained performance of these ...
Towards industry 4.0: a roadmap for the South African heavy industry sector
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2019)
The rapid growth and expansion of the Internet, as well as technical advances in the area of sensor technology, allow for the interconnection of physical objects for the purpose of achieving collective goals, which paves ...
Structuring uncertainty management for energy savings calculations
(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 ...
Improving data management for environmental reporting in the gold mining industry
(Stellenbosch Univ, 2019)
Environmental reporting is a realistic alternative for mines to
prioritise operational changes in crucial environmental areas. Gold
