ESKOM KRAGONDERBREKING EN VERDERE TOETS VAN BATTERY

Geagte Aandeelhouers en Inwoners,

ESKOM-KRAGONDERBREKING EN VERDERE TOETS VAN DIE BATTERY

Soos gesien kan word in die kennisgewing hieronder, het Eskom ons ingelig dat hulle op 20 September 2024 Orania se elektrisiteit vanaf 08:00 tot 16:00 gaan afskakel, ten einde noodsaaklike instandhouding by die substasie te doen.

“Eskom would like to inform customers of planned electricity maintenance to be done in the following areas: VLUYTJESKRAAL – ORANIA. Due to system requirements and processes involved in carrying out this work, the electricity supply to this area will be interrupted on 20 September 2024 from 08h00 to 16h00. The interruption in electricity supply is necessary to perform essential maintenance work in the substation. In the interest of safety, all electrical equipment and appliances must be treated as live at all times during the period of the maintenance on the electricity network. Eskom would like to thank you for your cooperation, and apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused by this planned maintenance. Please note that, should circumstances beyond the control of Eskom arise, the planned electricity maintenance may not proceed as communicated..”

Hierdie bied ons egter ‘n ideale geleentheid om die battery se werking te toets in omstandighede wat as ‘n netwerkverlies, oftewel “grid failure”, beskryf kan word. Die afgelope week is daar hard gewerk om die elektriese bestuurstelsel deeglik deur sy passies te sit en ons sien daarna uit om die funksionaliteit van ons integrasiestelsels hiermee nog verder te toets.

Aangesien dit ‘n volwaardige netwerkverlies sal wees, mag die dorp se krag aan die einde van die dag vir ongeveer vyf minute af wees, sodat ons Eskom weer aanlyn kan kry en die battery met Eskom kan sinchroniseer.

Ons vertrou dat u die bogenoemde in orde sal vind.

Vriendelike groete,

Gawie Snyman

Uitvoerende Hoof
