Balancing sustainability and energy through solar and the power grid
Sustainability and energy
South Africa’s energy sector stands at a pivotal moment. After years of declining generation performance and grid instability, the country has intensified efforts to rebuild reliability and accelerate its transition to cleaner, modern energy systems. Datacor’s engineering and simulation software Fathom, Impulse, Arrow, xStream and CHEMCAD can be used to model pipe flow, assess surge and transient conditions, support cooling‑water and steam system design, and simulate chemical and energy processes. These analyses can help validate designs for new renewable‑energy infrastructure, improve reliability in existing plants, and check the performance and safety of repurposed or expanded systems.

At Electra Mining 2026, Chempute and Datacor will present Fathom, Arrow, Impulse, xStream and CHEMCAD and discuss how these tools can be applied to current system‑design and reliability challenges in South Africa’s energy sector.
