Integrate renewables, storage and conventional generation into an energy system designed around mining operations and site conditions.
Our mining microgrid solution coordinates renewable generation, energy storage, conventional power sources and production loads for remote sites, weak-grid locations and mining complexes. Depending on project requirements, the system can be designed for grid-connected operation, off-grid operation or both, supporting energy resilience and renewable integration.
The proposed approach considers the distinct needs of extraction, processing, drainage, ventilation and site facilities. Energy configuration and operating strategies are developed around production schedules, load priorities, local resources and fuel logistics.
Coordinate generation and storage according to renewable availability, battery status and production demand to reduce inefficient energy use.
Classify loads under applicable mining safety and production requirements, with strategies for critical supply, flexible loads and abnormal conditions.
For suitably designed projects, develop operating controls, protection coordination and restoration strategies, with capabilities validated through project testing.
Consolidate equipment and energy data across sites to support remote visibility, fault analysis and maintenance management.
Greater resilience through diversified energy supply.
Opportunities to reduce conventional fuel use where technically and economically feasible.
Energy operation aligned with production schedules and load priorities.
Better visibility into remote equipment, consumption and maintenance needs.
Remote open-pit mines, weak-grid mining sites, mineral processing facilities, and renewable-storage upgrades for diesel-powered operations.
