    A study of demand side potential in South African industries
    (Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016-02-23) Hughes, A; Howells, M; Trikam, A; Kenny, A; van ES, D
    This paper looks at the potential for demand side management (DSM) in nine industries in South Africa. The DSM potential of the industries was assessed through audits and by examining the load profiles of the industries. The DSM options considered were either an improvement in energy efficiency or the shifting of electricity use to outside of the Eskom peak. DSM options that would negatively affect production were not considered. The paper introduces the study, explains why certain industries were selected as case studies and briefly summarises the findings at each site.
