Potential of hybrid PV systems for rural South Africa: addressing income activities and water supply

Author: Ortiz, B ; Szewczuk, S ; Vetter, M ; Went, J Date: Oct 2009 The national grid and piping extension for providing electricity and water services will certainly in the coming decades not reach rural areas of many African countries. In order to use and manage local energy and water sources, off-grid power ... Read more
Quantifying the system-wide financial costs and benefits of wind in South Africa

Author: Bischof-Niemz, T Date: Nov 2015 South Africa’s power system is currently under severe constraints, and at the same time, the Department of Energy is procuring new generation capacity and has already allocated a total of 8.1 GW of renewables (mainly wind & PV) for procurement ... Read more
Renewable rural electrification: Prediction of sustainability in South Africa. Case study: Wind and solar photo-voltaic with lead acid battery storage

Author: Rogers, DEC ; Brent, AC Date: 2009 A case study methodology and assessment of renewable energy technology and sustainable development is applied to a DME rural village project. Wind, solar and lead acid battery energy storage technologies were used for off-grid electrification. ... Read more
A renewables-based South African energy system?

Author: Bischof-Niemz, T Date: Dec 2015 Renewables were mainly driven by the United States, Chinese and Japanese markets. This presentation's focus is on the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP 2010) of the power generation mix for South Africa until 2030. Solar PV and wind are the ... Read more
Small hydropower for rural electrification in South Africa - using experiences from other African countries

Author: Jonker Klunne, WE Date: Oct 2009 Local hydropower sources can play an important role in the electrification of rural areas in South Africa remote from the national electricity grid. To ensure the sustainability of hydropower developments it is essential that lessons learned ... Read more
Smoothing out the volatility of South Africa’s wind and PV energy resources for an increased share of renewables

Author: Mushwana, Crescent ; Bischof-Niemz, T Date: Nov 2015 South Africa's Integrated Resource Plan 2010 (IRP 2010) was initiated to investigate the power generation mix for South Africa until 2030. The implementation of the IRP was done by Department of Energy through competitive tenders (“REIPPPP” ... Read more
Smoothing out the volatility of South Africa’s wind and solar energy resources

Author: Mushwana, Crescent Date: Oct 2015 In the past, renewables were mainly driven by the US, Europe and China, but South Africa is slowly picking up. This presentation discusses South Africa's wind and solar resources as alternative energy resources. Read more
Towards standardising building rural clinics: energy requirements

Author: Szewczuk, S Date: Mar 2015 Recognising that historical funding models have entrenched inequity and undermined affordability of healthcare services in South Africa, the National Department of Health is introducing the National Health Insurance scheme to integrate ... Read more
Utilization of solar energy in South Africa

Author: Whillier, A Date: Apr 1953 Design curves based on measurements of solar irradiation in South Africa are presented for two geographic areas, the highveld and the Cape Peninsula, giving data on the amount of thermal energy that can be collected from the sun by use of ... Read more
A wind loading correlation for an isolated square heliostat part 2: Moments and side forces

Author: Roos, TH Date: May 2012 One of the design requirements of a heliostat is the ability to withstand storm wind loads in the stow position and operational wind loads in any position. To design a heliostat, therefore, one must be able to predict the wind loading on the ... Read more
A wind loading correlation for an isolated square heliostat, part 1: lift and drag forces

Author: Roos, TH Date: May 2012 A design requirement of a heliostat is the ability to withstand storm loads in the stow position and operational wind loads in any position. To design a heliostat, therefore, one must be able to predict the wind loading on the heliostat for ... Read more
