Optimized situation:

Peak Shaver reduces the peak power demand of excavators.

Rate Rise Limiter compensates for slow generator response time.

The electrical system design is optimized for power needs – reduced size, increased efficiency, suitable for weak mine network.

Allows electric rope shovel to operate with fewer generators and in locations without permanent power distribution system.

Trolley Assist for Trucks

Electric haul trucks fitted with pantographs can pull power from an overhead trolley line; the engine idles when truck on trolley

The trucks run on diesel power in the pit and around the crusher

Typical Application:Uphill haul segments (also flat segments)Established travel routesDifference between diesel and electricity cost

Trolley assist is an alternate power source

Trolley Assist Scheme

Restricted © Siemens AG 2013 All rights reserved.I DT Minerals – Mining & Cement

Trolley Assist Benefits

Trolley assist is a win-win situation

If the drive system can provide more power than the diesel engine, speed on grade increases proportionalto the power.

Faster uphill haul shorter cycle time higher productivity

Without trolley, more than 80% of the fuel is consumed on gradeElectricity costs less than Diesel Engine overhaul intervals doubled or tripled

Trolley assist reduces environmental impactNoise, Emissions, Carbon footprint

Trolley assist was developed during the energy crisis of the 1980s to minimize diesel fuel consumption and reduce energy costs.

Electrification and Automation of Trucks

Performance Improvement

– Production per day per truck per month– Fuel Use per hour per km per tonne– Tire Wear per hr per km per tonne

– Cycle Time decreased– Cycles per day increased

– %Mechanical availability increased– %Utilization increased– O&M Costs decreased

The result is lower cost per ton.
