Terry attended Wits University where he completed a BSc (Electrical Engineering) degree in 1977. After completing military service he joined ISCOR where he was involved in design, project and maintenance work on HT and LT distribution systems, design and manufacture of equipment for testing electrical motors and commissioning work on variable speed drives. In 1981 he joined the Chamber of Mines Research Organisation. He was involved with the design, develop and manufacture of equipment for powering mechanised equipment in deep level gold mines. Projects included design, manufacture and testing of trailing cable, accelerated life testing of switchgear used in underground mines and development and testing of mobile distribution panels. In 1987, Terry was promoted to manager of the engineering branch. In 1988 he co-founded TLC Software with two colleagues. The company’s objective was to develop and market custom engineering software solutions for the industrial markets. He has been involved in the design and development of numerous products including an electrical power quality recorder, engine protection systems, appliance control unit, portable instrumentation and the design of electronics for various medical applications. Terry is a senior member of the SAIEE, a member of the IEEE, and has authored several papers on various topics for local and international conferences and publications. He is a Green Star accredited professional with the Australian Green Building Council. Terry also has BComm and MBL degrees from the University of South Africa. An intensive, practical 3-day workshop presented by Terry Cousins BSc Electrical Engineering the workshop Reducing the energy costs at one’s facility must surely be of the most effective and achievable strategies for lowering operating costs. This workshop gives you practical tools to identify and implement programs and projects to reduce energy consumption in the most effective and practical ways. You will be provided with the skills and latest knowledge on proven methods of making real savings in your energy bills. You can start such programs as soon as you wish, and start saving immediately thereafter. You will be greatly surprised at the levels of energy losses and poor efficiency of some of the devices in your facility that consume power when the facility is operational. You will also be greatly surprised at the energy consumption of your facility when it is not operational. BOTH OF THESE FACTORS ARE COSTING YOUR ORGANISATION - energy bills are generally at least 20% of the running costs of a business, so reductions in these bills are directly responsible for better profits. You will be taught the fundamental principles of energy efficiency by way of looking for points of wastage, assessment of the cost of energy usage and benefits accruing from improved energy efficiency in the facility – of course, reference points are needed, so the workshop will also show you how to quickly and effectively perform an energy audit of your facility, demonstrating the use of installed instrumentation as well as measuring equipment deployed during the audit. Once you have the correct information from the audit, you will be taught a simple method of cost analysis to help you make the right decisions for improvement, based on the principle of Rapid Return on Investment (RRI). This will enable you to implement the optimum energy-efficient solution and thus to start saving money in some cases immediately, but at worst after a typically short period of time (perhaps 3 to 12 months). Previous participants have been delighted with the immediate and long term sustainable savings they have been able to make as a result of attending this course. Pre-requisites A working knowledge of basic engineering principles is required. Adequate industrial experience in operating and maintaining energy-intensive equipment and processes will enable better appreciation of topics discussed. The fee for each workshop covers all materials including workshop manual, lunches and refreshments
