Project Summary

My project at SA Power Networks focused on managing large loads within a meshed network. Its primary goal was to assess the feasibility of handling substantial power loads in a complex, interconnected system. This involved extensive data analysis, software tool utilization, and a study of the network's load-bearing capacity. Historical data analysis helped identify trends, and power flow modeling simulated different scenarios to guide decision-making. The project was crucial for the organization as it provided valuable insights into load management, helping to improve service delivery and prepare for future challenges. While the immediate impact on the broader community was minimal, the long-term benefits include a more reliable and resilient power network capable of meeting growing energy demands. Challenges included managing large volumes of data, learning new software tools, and understanding the network itself. However, these challenges contributed to skill development in data analysis, software proficiency, and load management, equipping myself for future similar projects.
