By 2007, electricity demand in Namibia, Southern Africa, outstripped the supply capacity in the region. Namibia relies on other sources to provide 53 percent of its local electricity needs. This disparity necessitated either the introduction of new generation capacity or load management to supply the shortfall in electricity demand, with a subsequent rise in electricity costs.

In Electricity Use in Namibia, author Dr. Godwin Norense Osarumwense Asemota explores load management methodologies vital to the effective, efficient, and successful operation of any power utility-in order to reduce electricity demand peaks, lower utility production cost, reduce consumer cost, match consumer loads with supply constraints, and improve availability.

Asemota provides the background of the study, discusses the historical perspective of Namibian Utility, presents a literature review, details the research methodology, shares the results of the questionnaire through figures and tables, provides thorough analyses, and offers a conclusion and recommendations. Electricity Use in Namibia communicates the steps necessary to strengthen Namibia's electricity backbone in order to facilitate a stable future for the country.

As a result of increasing electricity demand in the last fifty years, there has been a rapid growth in power systems networks worldwide. Consequently, the power systems became more complicated for both routine load flow investigations and specialised analyses such as contingencies. A contingency can be either the addition or loss of a major transmission element or large generating unit. Therefore, more power buses with better interchange and online capabilities are needed to properly represent the networks with longer running time per study. In this book, the decoupled, fast decoupled, contingency, economic dispatch, probabilistic and stochastic load flow algorithms have been used to study a model power system such that the power systems operator can conveniently obtain up to date power flows and voltages subject to regulatory requirements for proper control; carry out operational planning for special events like sports, television programmes, maintenance, load shaving and load shedding activities, as well as long-term load planning, which are based on demographic and economic factors for correlating load uncertainties.
