A panel of experts will examine in detail various aspects of an assessment and expand on their presentations from the Conference in an interactive forum. Delegates will leave this workshop with a working knowledge of how to conduct an assessment of their own systems, the main things to look out for, possible remedies to the most frequent problems and the options for financing improvement projects.
Assessment Standards - Gunnar Hovstadius (UNIDO International Expert)
ASME EA-2-2009 - Energy Assessment Standard for Pumping Systems
- Provides a common understanding of what should be included in a pump system assessment to replace the lack of a standardization for pump systems previously evaluated as part of an energy evaluation, audit, survey or energy study.
- Defines specific requirements that must be performed for different assessment levels.
ASME EA-2G-2010 - Guidance Document
- Provides a common understanding of what should be included in a pump system assessment to replace the lack of a standardization for pump systems previously evaluated as part of an energy evaluation, audit, survey or energy study.
- Defines specific requirements that must be performed for different assessment levels.

Energy efficiency incentives for pumping systems - Lawrence Padachi (Eskom)
Eskom Independent Demand Management division has recently released a number of new and revised schemes which are appropriate to projects which arise from pumping systems assessments.
Lawrence will discuss the characteristics of each scheme and recommend the best fit between schemes and varying project types |
Measurement and Verification - Christo van der Merwe (Energy Cybernetics)
The measurement and verification (M & V) required by energy efficiency schemes on pumping systems will be discussed by the leading independent M & V practitioners in SA. |
Financing pumping systems improvements
Pumping systems are not low-cost items, so a company embarking on an improvement project is facing a potential financial nightmare! The Board is only too aware of this - how does the Engineer or CFO present his case for an improvement project, particularly as it has to compete with a myriad of other more traditional Capex opportunities?
The good news is that the South African Government is keen to incent companies to save power through a series of schemes operated through Eskom and by 'carrot and stick' measures involving tax rebates and punitive tariffs. Overseas aid and local funding are also available in addition to banks and financial services companies' offerings
The Workshop format will provide time to examine the pros and cons of each solution in more depth than was possible in the paper delivered at IPUC.
