Power ships: a real solution to South Africa's short-term energy needs?
A power ship is a fully self-contained power station built on an ocean-going ship. Each power ship contains its own generation, electrical control, and substation components. The ship also includes its own maintenance workshop and engineering capabilities.
The onboard substation, which can be connected to the national grid without lengthy delays or complicated engineering, can be configured to meet the specific requirements of the host country's electricity grid at the point of power injection.
Four 500 MW power ships, moored at different harbours around the country, would supply the grid with an additional 2000 MW - equivalent to stage two loadshedding which has been frequently imposed by Eskom in recent times.

You can see the latest solutions, and expand on the practical knowledge you need to have to perform your day-to-day-measurements. Application and product experts from Keysight and Concilium will be on-hand to give demonstrations and technical presentations around the latest innovations, features and capabilities that enhance the fundamental measurements.
Content that will be covered include:
- Spectrum Analysis Fundamentals: Learn why spectrum or signal analysis is important for a variety of applications and how to measure system and component performance using a signal analyser.
- Vector Signal Analysis Fundamentals: This course will introduce the fundamental concepts of Vector Signal Analysis and illustrate some of the available techniques for unlocking difficult measurement problems.
- Network Analysis Fundamentals: Introduction to the basics of vector network analysis in theory and practice. You will learn what kinds of measurements are made with network analysers, and how they allow you to characterise both linear and nonlinear behaviour of your devices.
