摘要

本研究评估了地毯制造公司所面临的高电力成本。研究的重点是南非的电力供应和可得性以及替代能源。研究了建模方法，以确定解决公司高成本问题的适当方法，以确保模型可以在类似场景中重用。研究结果提供了一种需要安装太阳能系统的电力最小化解决方案。使用产生的太阳能，并消耗发电机的电力来维持最佳的月度市政阈值，电费每月将减少10万兰特以上。

MINIMISING ELECTRICITY COSTS BY DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE COMBINATION OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES

This study evaluates the high electricity costs faced at a carpet manufacturing company. Research was conducted by focusing on the supply and availability of electricity in South Africa and alternative energy sources. Modelling methods were investigated to determine an appropriate approach to solving the high-cost problem at the company to ensure that the model could be reused for similar scenarios. The findings provide an electricity minimisation solution that requires the installation of a solar system. Using generated solar energy, and consuming generator power to maintain optimal monthly municipal thresholds, electricity costs would be reduced by over R100 000 monthly.
