Synchronous delivery

摘要

To drive economic expansion, South Africa needs to add 1.000MW a year to its generating capacity. Abundant coal supplies help provide cheap electricity but utility Eskom also relies on synchronous generators. According to Zandile Mjoli, senior general manager for resources and strategy at South African utility Eskom, two-thirds of Africa's 700 million - people live in rural areas, and less than 10 per cent of the rural population has access to electricity.
