Small Scale On-Grid Solar Photovoltaic Embedded Generation in South Africa Embedded Generation Small scale on-grid solar photovoltaic embedded generation in South Africa by Paul Tuson The IRP 2010-30 update states that 9770 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity is planned to be installed in South Africa by 2030 and also estimates that embedded generation (EG) residential and commercial PV could reach 22,5 GW by 2030 based on living standards measure 7 (LSM 7) households and 5 kWp PV household installations Even if this estimate is partially correct, Approximately 45 000 PV systems in the and Eskom are being inundated with this points to a significant level of installed residential market applications from all types of customers small-scale solar PV embedded generation to allow them to install some kind of grid Approximately 4000 PV systems in the connected embedded generation”.

Energize RE: Renewable Energy Supplement - June 2014 - Page 54 Embedded Generation The AMEU document and the information from Table 1 show that interest in SSPVEG is growing and that installations are currently occurring in South Africa, with or without a national framework. There is an obvious attraction to on-grid residential solar PV installations as the cost of solar PV systems decrease the cost of utility electricity increases Eskom’s reserve margin reduces and environmental and sustainability awareness among electricity users increases. EGs in the form of residential or commercial solar PV can also derive income when their generated electricity exceeds their load and they export their surplus electricity to the grid. Besides the high SSPVEG projections and Fig. 1: Self-consumption solar PV EG. growing installations, there is a level of frustration in the renewable energy (RE) industry that not enough is being done to encourage SSPVEG in South Africa and that in fact there are real obstacles to the growth of the industry in South Africa. Some of these perceived obstacles are : Decrease in municipality revenue base. Up to 70% of municipal income is derived from electricity sales in some cases Reduced ability for municipalities to cross-subsidise other municipal services using electricity revenue Risk of LV and MV system overloading from high simultaneous solar PV EG generation into the local grid Safety of utility personnel Lack of pre-approved, generic standards Fig. 2: Net metering with bi-directional meter. for the solar PV EG/Utility interface Regulatory and legal obstacles Quality of supply (QOS) impact of PV equipment This paper focuses predominantly on on-grid or parallel-connected SSPVEG (as opposed to off-grid and other RE technologies) at a residential and small commercial level. SSPVEG with battery or other storage is not addressed. The current situation Several standards, grid codes, guidelines and acts are being developed or exist in South Africa, intended to regulate the planning and implementation of RE generation and SSPVEG in South Africa, some of which are: Draft NRS097-2-1: 2013, Edition 2, Fig. 3: Possible FIT metering with bi-directional meters.

Copyright @ 2014 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT The focus of this thesis is the Wellington Wine District as a developing South African wine tourism destination. It is a newly designated wine district (March 2012) and an exploratory research study was undertaken to determine what the Brand ‘DNA’ of the Wellington Wine District is and then to propose appropriate marketing strategies for the developing wine tourism destination. The research process focussed on two types of wine tourism behaviour, namely festival-goers at the Wellington Wine Harvest Festival and the visitors to selected Wellington Wine Route members’ cellar doors. Surveys were executed by means of interviews and self-administration of structured questionnaires. Results were analysed in terms of two categories: first time visitors (FTV) and repeat visitors (RV).

A multi-level heckprobit estimator is employed in order to capture the influence of various factors at the individual, household and regional level, and we focus on the implications of the presence of pensioners and the unemployment on household composition and structure. Results are consistent with earlier findings that pensions are a key insurance mechanism for cushioning younger household members against adverse labour market conditions in rural South Africa. Hence they explain the propensity by household members to postpone formation of new independent household in order to continue living in multigenerational households.

  • Klapmuts Burial Ground
    1. Introduction Klapmuts is a small hamlet with a population of approximately 6000, centrally located approximately 15km from the towns of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Kraaifontein. It has experienced slow growth as a residential area considering its proximity to Cape Town and other towns in the Winelands. It has lacked basic services infrastructure, such as water, until very recently and has historically been “viewed by planners as a deconcentration point for metropolitan Cape Town”.1 Large plots of land within the village are undeveloped and vacant. The local setting of Klapmuts (Figure 2) however forms an important sector of the „Greater Simonsberg‟ wine route. Historic werfs (Elsenburg, Muldersvlei and Natte Vallei) are located to the west and south of the village. Klapmuts itself is a poor community, however in recent years it has been seen as a potential growth point at which a number of more upmarket developments are proposed. The development proposal that has triggered this report is for the construction of 15 town houses. The proposal involves the consolidation of erven 212, 213, 214, 223 & 224 situated between Beyers Street and Bell Street within the residential areas of Klapmuts. The existing Klapmuts River is located along the Western boundary of the properties and has been upgraded with pedestrian access along the river. The existing erven are all zoned residential, however the owners of the property, KWV international (Pty) Ltd wish to rezone and sub-divide the property into residential zone 3 in order to build 15 freehold townhouses for the use of the company staff. The site under consideration (Figure 1) takes on the appearance of a vacant plot of land adjacent to the railway line surrounded by low cost housing.
