Do you need a load shedding kit in South Africa?

Load shedding is a daily fact of life in South Africa. While you can monitor when blackouts occur and plan your energy use appropriately, you could avoid the inconvenience and use a load shedding kit instead.

What is intelligent load shedding?

Intelligent Load Shedding means the monitoring and making decisions based on the state of the system model, value of the operation, criticality of the processes running, and environmental impact. ETAP iLS predicts the optimal load shedding scenario based on actual system dynamics, making it the most intelligent solution available, hands down.

What is a model-driven load shedding solution?

A model-driven load shedding solution incorporates power system topology with Dynamic Load Priority tables to automatically analyze and track the system changes with a fast-acting response to disturbance triggers.

What is a proactive intelligent load shedding system?

A Proactive Intelligent Load Shedding system provides faster, and proven optimal load relief by utilizing an electrical digital twin foundation with embedded power and process predictive analytics, adaptive optimization algorithms, and Action Validation to secure service continuity to critical processes and subsystems.

Should I use a load shedding kit?

While you can monitor when blackouts occur and plan your energy use appropriately, you could avoid the inconvenience and use a load shedding kit instead. At its most basic, a load-shedding kit is simply a DC battery, often contained in a portable power station with multiple output ports for convenience.

What is load shedding & demand curtailment?

Load Shedding and demand curtailment are critical for the preservation of essential loads and avoiding widespread system outages. This power balancing strategy should be based on an integrated fast-responding system that considers process and power system dynamics.
