Demand Side Management and Energy Load Optimisation

With constrained supply and rising tariffs, African energy users can save significantly by managing when and how they draw power, not just how much. This programme covers demand side management techniques such as load shifting, peak clipping and time of use response. Delegates learn to analyse load and tariff data and design interventions that cut cost and ease pressure on the grid.
