CTICC – Koeberg Nuclear Power Station – lunch - CTICC

A unique visit to Koeberg Nuclear Power Station which began in 1976. Unit 1 was synchronised to the grid on 4 April 1984, with Unit 2 following suit on 25 July 1985. Koeberg, the only nuclear power station in Africa, has a pressurised water reactor (PWR) design. It boasts the largest turbine generators in the Southern Hemisphere and is the most southerly-situated nuclear power station in the world.

Koeberg houses the only nuclear power reactors in Africa, each with a capacity of 900 MW (Megawatts) which is enough to provide continuous power for over two million middle-income houses and is vital for grid stability in the Cape. The safety record of these nuclear reactors is on par with the best in the world, with not a single nuclear radiation fatality to date.

Registration deadline: Friday 6 March 2015 Security clearance check applies to this site visit.

Large Power Users

CTICC – Villiera Wines – lunch at Stellenbosch Wine Farm – additional site TBC – CTICC

Villiera Wines showcases one of the largest private photovoltaic installations in Southern Africa. The project involved approximately 900m2 of solar panels – 539 solar modules in total – mounted across three of the cellar’s roofs. This site visit includes a drive through the wildlife sanctuary and will also highlight the many environmental awareness efforts taking place at this award winning wine farm.

In the past year, Villiera has introduced next generation energy efficient lighting and they have removed the last of the Eskom power lines and transformers from the sanctuary and replaced them with underground high voltage cables using their own step-up and step down transformers. CIPLA, one of South Africa’s largest pharmaceutical companies, has installed their pilot state-of-the-art clinic (OWETHU Clinic) at Villiera which is servicing more than 3 000 farm workers and their children.

The Backyarder Programme brings basic services; electricity, water, sanitation and refuse collection to hundreds of families. The installations are done for backyard dwellers when the residents of City rental houses agree to the service. The project involved the installation of electricity service connections to the informal backyard dwellings on the properties and the replacement of the backbone electricity distribution infrastructure.

CTICC – GRI – lunch – SARETEC – CTICC

The recently opened R300-million Gestamp Renewable Industries (GRI) wind tower manufacturing factory will produce 150 wind tower masts a year for the local and export market. Delegates will learn about state of the art integrated production on wine turbine pylons. A tour of the facility will showcase the use of energy saving technologies designed to maximise the benefits of natural lighting and ventilation. The factory has custom-designed storage space, allowing each completed tower section to be stored on site.

The South African Renewable Energy Technology Centre (SARETEC) is the first in South Africa that delivers specialized training, education and services to the Renewable Energy industry. SARETEC will offer a formal qualification as a Wind Turbine Service Technician in South Africa and the first 11 qualified Wind Turbine Service Technicians and 8 trainers recently qualified. The SARETEC building showcases sustainable energy principles and is fully equipped with a state of the art workshop facility for wind and solar training, as well as a lecture theatre; classrooms; labs for hydraulic, electro-solar and composite material.

Alternative Energy: Solar

CTICC - iShack Project - PTiP PV manufacturing and demonstration facility at Technopark – lunch at a Stellenbosch Wine Farm - CTICC

See how the iShack Project is providing solar electricity services to residents of an un-electrified informal settlement in Stellenbosch, Western Cape. A team of local residents are trained and supported to market, deliver and maintain the service which includes indoor and outside security lighting, television and cellphone charging. The end-users pay a monthly service fee which ensures long term operational sustainability. To date the iShack project has delivered the electricity service to over 700 families and are on target to expand this to 1500 by the end of 2015.

PTiP (Pty) Ltd was founded in 2005 to facilitate the commercial exploitation of intellectual property (IP) and know-how related to novel and innovative semiconductor process technologies in the field of thin film photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The new and improved PV technology has been developed over a period of more than 20 years at the Department of Physics at the University of Johannesburg. The company has recently entered into strategic partnerships with various departments of the South African Government in order to establish a world-leading PV manufacturing and demonstration facility at Technopark in Stellenbosch. The facility is designed to support the transfer of commercially scalable processes and products to commercial partners worldwide.

Large Scale PV Solar

CTICC – SMA Sub-Sahara Production - Black River Park – lunch at a Constantia Wine Farm – CTICC

Delegates will visit the recently opened multimillion-rand SMA Sub-Sahara Production manufacturing facility in Cape Town. The facility includes a production line and quality test centre for SMA’s Sunny Central inverters, warehousing, as well as the African branch of the SMA Solar Academy training centre.

We will then proceed to Black River Park, one of the largest commercial office park developments in the Cape consisting of 74,000 square meters of office space. The 500kW second phase, will bring the total installed solar capacity at Black River Park to 1.2MW, the largest integrated solar roof project in South Africa and amongst the 30 largest roof integrated solar PV systems in the world. The system is unique in that SOLA Future has applied to the City of Cape Town for a bi-directional metering tariff allowing the owners to inject back a certain portion of excess energy into the City’s networks and receive monetary benefit.
