Thesis (Dtech (Electrical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011. / Electrical energy is an important resource for human and economic development. On
the demand side, electrical energy management is needed because of the tendency
of manufacturing industries to consume large amount of energy and as a result lead
them to spend more money in paying bills for the consumed electrical energy. In
addition, the amount of electrical energy generated in Sub-Saharan Africa is
incomparable with demand requirements. The predominant sources of electrical
energy generation are fossil fuels and hydro. Generation of electricity by fossil fuel
needs high capital investments and high running costs. Concurrently, the process of
burning fossil fuels has an adverse effect on the environment. In order to minimize
these effects, electrical energy management in manufacturing industries has to be
instituted and implemented.
