ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 3

• 3. Basa njengo Magogo

Description A new method of lighting a fire wherein the fire is lit from top to bottom, instead of being lit from below. This is arranged by laying the coals at the bottom, mixed with a few good-sized cinders, and the wood at the top with another layer of coals and some paper over it; the paper is lit. Controlled laboratory Tests by the CSIR during 2004 revealed a 80- 90% reduction in the smoke emissions, a shorter time to cooking and a reduction in the amount of coal used.

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 4

• 4. Demonstration of the Bisasar Road Landfill Gas to Electricity Project

Description The project is owned and operated by the Municipality. The project comprises the extraction of landfill gas (comprising 40~60% methane) through gas wells and interlinking pipework installed at the Bisasar Road landfill site. Electricity is generated through purpose built 1MW engines generating a total of 8MW. Electricity generated supports households in the eThekwini

• Municipality. By September 2009, the Municipality generated a total
• f 7.5MW supplying electricity to approximately 3750 houses.

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 5

• 5. Demonstration of the 1-3 MW Solar PV Project

Description The eThekwini Municipality is currently conceptualising the installation of a 1-3 MW Solar PV Project and a number of potential sites have already been identified. The idea is to have a municipal

• wned piece of land used for this and issue a request for proposal

from private Solar PV developers to carry out the project. It is intended that this project will have been implemented in time for COP. Partners eThekwini Municipality

• Phillipi Biogas Project (Middledrift. Western Cape)
• Fort Cox College of Agriculture (Fort Cox, Eastern Cape)
• Melani Village (About 15 km from Alice, Eastern Cape)
• University of Fort Hare Biogas Project (University of Fort Hare,

Alice, Eastern Cape) Partners

• Department of Energy
• Working for Energy Programme
• South African National Energy Development Institute
• Silver Solutions
• University of Fort Hare
• Fort Cox College of Agriculture
• Melani Village Cooperative
• CEF Group

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 7

• 7. Utility Load Manager

Description This is an approach to control and limit the load available to a home

• r business when Eskom experiences network and system supply
• constraints. The Utility Load Manager (ULM) is an innovative system

developed in South Africa by Eskom and EON Consulting to help alleviate electricity network and system constraints by limiting residential load. The ULM system’s control methodology is regarded as a world first. It is patented locally and a global patent application is underway. ULM has been designed to operate as a virtual power station. It is a real-time residential load management system that allows the utility to limit residential loads and can integrate end-use consumption data with Eskom’s systems and infrastructure.

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 8

• 8. Thermal efficiency improvements at Eskom power plants

Description Eskom has identified internal energy efficiency as a strategic priority. Improving the energy efficiency of existing power stations is a cost- effective and fast way to improve the reserve margin and reduce national CO2 emissions. In this way Eskom will take a leading position in the nation’s drive to save electricity, and complement the demand- side management programme of its major industrial customers. Preliminary results and expectations:

• 26MW already realised at Majuba
• 150MW of energy efficiency improvements expected by end of

2015

• Coal savings of ~ 400 kilotons per annum expected by end of 2015

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 9

• 9. Carbon Capture and Storage

Description The Minister of Energy, Ms. Dipuo Peters, launched the Atlas on Geological Storage of Carbon Dioxide in South Africa (the Atlas) on 10 September 2010. The Atlas is a public-private partnership of South African entities, namely government, state-owned entities and industry; it provides an

• verview of the country’s economy, a roadmap on carbon capture and

storage, and progress achieved. It includes geological maps with reference to the potential and estimated CO2 storage capacities of the geological formations found in South Africa. This was followed by a release of Technical report on the geological storage of carbon dioxide in South Africa in January 2011. Partners

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 10

• 10. Underground Coal Gasification

Description UCG, a process where coal is gasified in place, was conceived in the late 1800s and has been developed in various countries across the

• world. A matrix of boreholes is drilled into the coal seam, sealed wells

are created, the coal is ignited and air is pumped into the injection

• wells. Fire is essentially used to ‘mine’ the coal and produce synthetic

gas (syngas) which can be used directly as a fuel for power generation. This process avoids the need for coal mining, transportation, preparation, gasifier equipment and the transportation as well as disposal of ash, which has cost, labour and environmental benefits. Eskom’s indicative calculated levelised life-cycle cost of electricity from a commercial UCG plant compares favourably to that from a new conventional super-critical pulverised coal power station. The cost of electricity would also be shielded from commodity fuel price fluctuations as domestic energy resources would be used. Partners ESKOM

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 11

• 11. Bethlehem Hydro

Description

The Sol Plaatje power station has a generating head of approximately 11m. The power station is located on the right bank of the Sol Plaatje dam. A new intake was constructed within the non-overspill flank and the power station was located immediately downstream of the intake. Water is returned to the Liebenbergsvlei river downstream of the Dam. One 2.1m diameter Kaplan turbine, attached to a generator, is installed in the power

• station. The station operates semi- autonomously with remote monitoring

and is interconnected into the Bethlehem municipal power grid through an 11KV line owned by Bethlehem Hydro. The Merino hydropower project is located on the As River some 15km downstream from the Lesotho Highlands Water Project tunnel outlet. It

• perates as a run-of-river station with a diversion weir, an 800m canal and

a small forebay. The powerhouse is situated mostly below ground level and houses a single double-regulated horizontal axis Kaplan turbine. The generating head is approximately 14m, and the plant is connected to the national transmission network through a dedicated 18km 22kV line.

ENERGY DEMONSTRATION PROJECT 12

• 12. Bela Bela Project

Description Humphries Boerdery is a large-scale commercial pig farm located approximately 10km north-east of the town of Bela-Bela in Limpopo

• Province. The piggery at Humphries Boerdery has approximately

1 000 breeding sows and can accommodate up to 15 000 animals. In 2007, the farm took the pioneering decision to upgrade their waste management system to incorporate large-scale anaerobic processing with the potential for renewable energy recovery. This resulted in the construction of the first covered lagoon bio-digester for treating piggery waste in South Africa. In 2010 Humphries Boerdery partnered with Cape Advanced Engineering (Pty) Ltd (CAE), a supplier of renewable energy technology solutions, to create Bela Bela Energy (Pty) Ltd (BBE). CAE supplied a prototype power plant and provided the farm with engineering support from 2008 to 2010. During this time, practical lessons were learnt about generating electricity from biogas and CAE technology was evaluated and refined. Partners SANEDI
