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.


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.


The results of load predictions have been confirmed to follow very closely what was actually measured from groups of consumers in the field.


The prediction is “driven” with information about gross household income for the target community. Therefore a diligent assessment of income levels is essential.
