On behalf of Eskom, you are cordially invited to two important technical seminars as follows:Seminar 1
Domestic electric loads:
Consumption, demand and profiles
You are invited to a seminar presenting new information about SA domestic customer load behaviour.

Eskom and some municipalities have been co-operating via the NRS 034 Domestic Load Research Project in collecting loading data of domestic customers for the last 18 years. All this data is in a database linked to tariff and demographic, climatic and spatial information. The load data has been analysed and converted into user-friendly formats for users of load data. The analysis will be presented at the seminar and made available to attendees.

Planners and forecasters are under ever increasing pressure to deal with a more uncertain future, with larger and larger data sets having to be processed. Traditionally data sets are highly structured, but the growing trend is to mine value from unstructured data. While doing analysis, modelling and forecasting, it is imperative to access unstructured data (news articles and the like) from the core component of market Intelligence, combined with time series, spatial and other data (e.g. traditional data warehouse) to give more rich intelligence. Eskom RT&D is offering you the opportunity to get up to speed with these exciting developments.
