Overview
The Energy Systems Analysis Group undertakes research and analysis and
training that enhances understanding of energy use and energy systems
for policy and decision-making in the following areas:
-
Energy and
climate mitigation modelling
-
Energy
systems analysis
-
Decision
support on energy infrastructure and energy efficiency across the
sectors
-
Analysis
of energy supply dynamics
-
Behavioural aspects of energy usage
-
Analysis
of energy use dynamics
-
Energy
data collation, managment and dissemination.
-
Data interrogation and energy and related data mining

Energy
Systems Analysis and Planning
Group, 2011
Current
research and projects
Currently the main research areas are in energy demand for liquid fuels,
Carbon Capture and Storage in Southern Africa, public access energy
database, behavioural aspects of energy efficiency, support for the Long
Term Mitigation Scenario’s Update, support for the Mitigation Action
Plans and Scenarios project and these are further described through the
project links shown below. Other research interests and services have
included city and municipal modelling and planning, and regional (SADC)
energy modelling and planning, the energisation of low-income
households, national integrated energy planning and utility planning
support.
 Open
energy database
The project aims to
provide a current, consistent and comprehensive data set to help
streamline energy research projects, particularly those involving energy
modelling.

The
transport sector demand for liquid fuels
This project aims to
disaggregate the demand for transport based liquid fuels in South
Africa.

Awareness and
behavioural energy tools
This project will
develop tools to enhance understanding of energy-use behaviour and to
build awareness
of energy and energy efficiency in the residential sector.

Mitigation action
plans and scenarios
This is a
collaborative project aimed at assisting selected Latin American
countries develop mitigation action plans and scenarios.

Long-term mitigation
scenarios update
This project aims at
improving and updating the SA government supported Long Term Mitigation
Scenarios Project.

Techno-economic
analysis of carbon capture and storage in Southern Africa
The project aims to
assess the costs of various opportunities for carbon capture and storage
(for emissions from electricity generation) in South Africa, Botswana,
Namibia and Mozambique.
