<p>Eskom Distribution Pre-Electrification Tool (Distribution
PET) is a software application for predicting domestic consumer ADMD
(with Herman Beta Parameters), Consumption and the load profile for a
group of typically 60 or more consumers.</p><p><br></p>
<p>Distribution PET has been derived after extensive research by the
authors, using data collected during the course of the NRS Load Research
project since 1995.</p><p><br></p>
<p>The results of load predictions have been confirmed to follow very
closely what was actually measured from groups of consumers in the
field.</p><p><br></p>
<p>The prediction is “driven” with information about gross household
income for the target community. Therefore a diligent assessment of
income levels is essential.</p>
<p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>Boundaries of operation</strong></p>
<ul><li>At this time, the application has the following boundaries:</li><li>Average household income 100-25 000 (in 2014 Rands)</li><li>Project time electrified in range1-15 years (inclusive)</li><li>Geographical boundaries: The tool is only designed to operate inside the boundaries of South Africa.</li></ul>
<p><strong>Period of validity</strong></p>
<ul><li>The current version of the application is designed to auto-update
itself whenever there is new data or models available, over the
internet. Typically data and profile models are reviewed every 3-4
years.</li></ul>
