Integrated rural energy planning for South Africa
… face shortages of convenient, affordable energy services. Sub-sectoral energy interventions that are not properly coordinated with each other and with the development context are unlikely to address the problems effectively. The methodology of 'integrated rural energy planning' (IREP) is a …

Operationalizing integrated household energy planning : the case of Malawi
… environment, has led to extensive investments in energy research and household energy projects. Poor performance and failures of woodfuel projects and other policy interventions have led to a radical reconsideration and criticism of the woodfuel scarcity paradigm and associated methodologies and …

Energy planning with hydrogen deployment strategies within interconnected infrastructures using enhanced SWITCH model
… water dimension is not adequately considered in energy models when planning for hydrogen technologies. To overcome this, three novel modules have been developed for the SWITCH energy model: one that considers water drinking systems, a second module that optimizes the size/location/type of …

Application of photovoltaic solar energy to medium-scale installations
Although South Africa has significant energy reserves, some 50-60% of the South African population is without access to electricity. Lack of infrastructure is one of the root courses of which energy supply forms an important component. The energy sector is an integral part of the whole economy, and …
