The effectiveness of electricity time of use tariffs in the Western Cape
In South Africa, Time of Use (TOU) tariffs have been available to Eskom's customers since 1986. TOU tariffs are intended to encourage users to avoid using electrical energy during the periods at which the national electricity system is stressed during normal operating conditions, i.e. peak periods. …

Algorithmic And Mathematical Programming Approaches To Scheduling Problems With Energy-Based Objectives
… cost in manufacturing enterprises. Two classes of problems are considered in this dissertation: (i) minimizing the makespan in a permutation flow shop with peak power consumption constraints (the PFSPP problem for short) and (ii) minimizing the total electricity cost on a single machine under …

Quantification of budget improvement methods for utilities at platinum mines in South Africa
… and associated costs are forecasted in the form of an energy, water and utility cost budget. The purpose of this study is to review the literature to find energy budget improvement methods. A method for evaluating the impact of the budget improvements was constructed. The case studies aimed to …

Evolutionary combinatorial optimisation for energy storage scheduling, and web-based power systems analysis using PHP
… are covered in this thesis: the formulation of a novel evolutionary combinatorial optimisation algorithm for energy storage system (ESS) scheduling, and web-based power systems analysis (WBPSA) using PHP programming. An increase in electricity demand usually calls for reinforcement of the …
