Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The South African Electricity Distribution Industry is riddled with tariffs. Every utility in South Africa probably uses some method for allocating cost, whether it is theoretically founded or not. There are currently over 2000 different tariffs in South Africa and the need for rationalisation has been widely recognised and acknowledged. Many of these tariffs have not been the outflow of accepted methodologies but rather a function of individual utility policy and practices. There is however a dire need to standardise such methodologies in the future. A standardised methodology might be the only way to eventually rationalise the thousands of tariffs that exist in the electricity industry. Government has emphasised the importance of tariffs to be cost reflective in the future. The only possible way to reach this objective would be to determine clear and concise methods of allocating cost that can be utilised by the entire industry. This study project describes a standardised methodology for determining the cost to supply different customer categories in an electricity distributor. The methodology offers enough flexibility not to bind any party into laboursome, complex and time consuming costing activities. It does however require that the costs of a distributor are carefully investigated and all functions performed in the utility are isolated. This is referred to as ringfencing of costs.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Suid-Afrikaanse Elektrisiteitverspreidingsbedryf het veelvuldige tariewe. Elke utiliteit in Suid-Afrika gebruik waarskynlik 'n metode vir kostetoedeling, wat nie noodwendig teoreties gebaseer is nie. Huidiglik is daar meer as 2000 verskillende tariewe in Suid-Afrika en dit word alom besef en erken dat gronde vir rasionalisering bestaan. Baie van die tariewe het nie ontstaan uit die gebruik van aanvaarbare berekeningsmetodes nie, maar was eerder die gevolg van individuele beleid en praktyke van utiliteite. Daar is 'n dringende behoefte om hierdie berekeningsmetodes in die toekoms te standardiseer. 'n Standaard metode mag die enigste manier wees om uiteindelik die duisende tariewe wat in die elektrisiteitsbedryf bestaan te rasionaliseer. Die regering het die belangrikheid dat tariewe in die toekoms koste reflekterend moet wees benadruk. Die enigste moontlike manier om hierdie doelwit te bereik, is om helder en duidelike metodes vir koste toedeling te bepaal vir gebruik deur die hele bedryf. Hierdie verhandeling beskryf 'n standaard metodologie om die koste te bepaal om verskillende klantegroepe in 'n elektrisiteitsverspreider van krag te voorsien. Die metodologie bied voldoende plooibaarheid om geen party aan arbeidintensiewe, kompleks en tydrowende kostebepalings te verbind nie. Dit vereis egter dat die koste van 'n verspreider noukeurig ondersoek word en dat alle funksies wat verrig word uitgelig word. Hierna word verwys as afbakening van kostes.

About 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to electricity and an additional 1 billion have unreliable access. The social ramifications of this problem are noteworthy because access to electric power has the potential to transform societies. While admirable efforts are underway, there is general consensus that progress is falling far short of what is needed to reach international electricity access goals. In light of such deficiencies, it is arguable that systems-level experimentation and innovation is required if we are to achieve universal electricity access in the next one to two decades. With the advancement of technology, new opportunities are emerging that can potentially change the game. Machine learning methods and detailed technoeconomic models for planning comprise one set of technologies that hold significant promise for accelerating access. This thesis builds upon recent work towards the development of more intelligent decision support systems for electrification planning. Progress towards automated and scalable software systems for the extraction of building footprints from satellite imagery are presented. In addition, a novel model for probabilistic data fusion and other machine learning methods are compared for electrification status estimation. Inference tools such as these allow for the cost-effective provision of granular data required by techno-economic models. We also acknowledge that the technologies we detail should not be developed in a vacuum. Given that electrification is a complex endeavor involving numerous social and technical factors, careful consideration must be given to human, policy, and regulatory concerns during the planning process. We notice how uncertainty abounds in these activities and propose "adaptive electricity access planning" as a new model-assisted framework for the explicit consideration of uncertainty in large-scale planning. This work aspires to provide valuable perspective on the importance of uncertainty in planning as these endeavors continue to evolve.

Full textConclusion: Converting in steam power plant is one of many ways to produce electrical energy in the world. It can be done in any country because it can be done with different chemical sources. In Saudi Arabia we use oil, because it easier and cheaper than any other chemical source for us. As any country would use what is better for them. The thesis has described circulation system in Shoaiba power plant by converting chemical energy to thermal energy in the boiler, then the turbine converts thermal energy to mechanical energy. Then the mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy in the generator. The advantages of the steam stations are as follows: production of high amounts of electrical energy from small amounts of fuel, low cost of the initial costs, obstetrics and maintenance costs are not high, the station does not need much space to build and they are usually high capacity. The disadvantages of steam stations are the following: environmental pollution, low efficiency, requires very big amounts of cooling water, and these stations must be built away from population areas.

Electricity demand in Saudi Arabia has been growing rapidly with an average peak demand growth rate of 6% over the past decade. Currently, the structure of the electricity industry is based on a monopoly framework dominated by a government owned utility company (Saudi Electric Company (SEC)). Furthermore, electricity prices in KSA are heavily subsidized and as a result, SEC relies heavily on government support through grants and soft loans to finance expansion projects to meet growing demand. In order to alleviate the financial dependency of the electricity sector on government funding, the system regulator (ECRA) announced major reform plans intended to encourage private sector participation in the electricity industry. This research aims to evaluate regulatory reform options available to the Saudi government for achieving privatization objectives. Chapter 1 lays the foundation of electricity regulation and addresses technical, economical, and regulatory aspects of electricity trading. Chapter 2, deep dives into the liberalization of the electricity industry in Great Britain as a pioneer case study with main take away being the importance of ownership unbundling in structural reforms. Chapter 3 provides a description of the current status of the sector in the KSA. It also discusses the regulatory options available to the government. Chapter 4 applies a mathematical model based on the concept of "Supply Function Equilibrium" to evaluate the government proposal of splitting the generation assets of SEC between four-generation companies. The model analyzes the level of market competition as a result of the proposed plan. The analysis shows that the establishment of four-generation companies will result in imperfect competition and that additional measures are needed to mitigate market power. Chapter 5 provides a summary of the proposed recommendations and suggests future work.

Full textIn this bachelor's thesis a product was developed gradually from idea to reality using methods in technical design. The final product is called " Banana Charge" whose purpose is to provide the Swedish people with a convenient solution for charging their portable products (mainly mobile phones) on the go, without having to be limited to a socket. Up to 30 percent of Stockholm residents are willing to pay for a service that provides their mobiles with power when they are in need. The expansion of cities allows people to travel longer distances from point A to B, which means that people do not always have time to recharge their mobile device at home. BananaCharges want to solve this problem by placing a number of these stations around Stockholm, therefore they started this project where the aim is to place numerous unmanned charging stations at key locatons. At the start of the project a feasibility study was conducted to gain wider knowledge of unattended stations, this was performed in Central station Stockholm. A customer survey started once the feasibility study was conducted, the station was adapted according to the customer requirements. This was followed by a competitive analysis to find the existing "state of the art ' solutions on the market today. Competition analysis resulted in Mobilequbes being today's " state of the art " solution and became a reference point for Banana Charge during the project. The method of "black box" was used to clarify what the station's task is and how to go about solving those tasks. Wireless charging was selected as a final solution (based on the method of "black box") where " state of the art " products were used. Several methods were used in the concept development process including shape- and structural variations and morphological matrix. Banana Charge eventually chose three concepts to continue with. The three concepts were evaluated during the concept evaluation phase with the help ofseveral methods among them was eliminate matrix and relative decision matrix, this resulted to concept 3 being selected which followed the customer requirements best. The concept was named Banana Charge (alpha) and was improved during the concept development process. Each problem area was noted down during the development process and was analyzed, theproblem where solved after prototyping and testing each component, the results gave a working mechanism located in a well-designed station. The final design was dimensioned with the help of tools such as Solid Edge and Matlab, a cost analysis was done on all of the parts after contacting retailers It was concluded that the construction of the station is possible but it will cost more than the desired production cost, a deeper cost estimate can be made with a volume-based cost. The stepper motor for the mechanism should be replaced with a servomotor for more precise movement or an encoder could be attached for more precision, a rubber mat could be used to increase the friction in the sliding track. Finally, it can be discussed if a more precise definition of the workload should have been done when the locking mechanism, the station and the battery mechanism was too much work for the short time span.
