To understand how the LSS System works, lets relate it to an easily understood example:
If 100 litres of water is to be contained, it could be contained in various ways:
1 X100 liter container
10 X 10 liter containers.
100 X 1 liter containers.
Lets now equate this example to load-shedding. Imagine the 100 liters of water is equal to 1000 Mw of electricity.
Load-shedding becomes necessary when Eskom is short of electricity.
Load shedding as is stands is the 1 x 100 liter container, LSS is the 100 the 1 x liter containers!
Using the example above, say they are short of 100 Liters (1000Mw), they take the 100 Liters from an area like, say Sandton, resulting in a complete black-out of that area.
The LSS system, on the other hand, will take only 1 liter from 100 separate areas across the whole country and nobody is blacked out! LSS can handle whatever power needs to shed.
Load-Shedding blacks out complete areas
LSS takes a little from the whole country:
LSS Functionality
The simple explanation:
Simply put, the LSS System automatically knows when there is a drop in available power and does not shut ANYTHING down, but shares what power is available between everyone.
The LSS system very cleverly takes a little bit of power from everybody and not everything from selected areas like rolling black-outs does. In doing this, LSS ensures that everyone’s power, including industry, is always on.
The system is only fitted to geysers in hostels, commercial, high-rise buildings and lastly residential homes. It is important to note the the LSS system DOES NOT shut off a geyser, it only reduces the power consumed by the geyser. Every other circuit, lights, plugs, ovens etc. all function normally.
The ONLY effect is that a geyser will take slightly longer to warm up but IT WILL STILL WARM UP to the exact same temperature as normal, but most importantly, industry is NEVER shut off and no one will ever be without power again
Total disruption of power supply to consumers in “targeted areas” is thus COMPLETELY PREVENTED.
Thanks to LSS -all load shedding is gone for good … !
