Harnessing the Energy-Generating Potential of Underground Mine Winders
Harnessing the Energy-Generating Potential of Underground Mine Winders
NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2024 / For mining companies, enhancing sustainability can mean undertaking net-new projects. But more often, it means rethinking existing processes.
马萨诸塞州北安普敦/ACCESSWIRE/2024 年 5 月 16 日/对于矿业公司来说，增强可持续性可能意味着开展全新的项目。但更常见的是，这意味着重新思考现有流程。
Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK), RUC Mining, and Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) have introduced an innovative regenerative energy storage solution for mine hoists which operate much like industrial elevators that lower equipment into a mine shaft and lift minerals out.
罗克韦尔自动化（纽约证券交易所代码：ROK）、RUC矿业和澳大利亚能源动力系统（EPSA）为矿山升降机推出了一种创新的再生能量存储解决方案，其运行方式与工业电梯非常相似，可以将设备降低到矿井并将矿物运出。
It takes little energy to lower a mine hoist. However, raising it up requires a lot of energy. RUC Mining used Rockwell regenerative drives to develop a solution that collects energy as the mine hoist lowers and then reuses that energy to power the trip back up. The hoists run solely on their own stored energy.
降低矿井提升机所需的能量很少。但是，提高它需要大量的精力。RUC Mining 使用罗克韦尔再生驱动器开发了一种解决方案，该解决方案可在矿山提升机降低时收集能量，然后重复使用这些能量为行程提供动力。起重机完全依靠自己储存的能量运行。
Sustainability benefits
可持续发展的好处
Over 24 months, sustainability savings are predicted to be:
预计在24个月内，可持续性方面的节约将是：
- Approximately 1,427 kilolitres of diesel
- A reduction of 3.85 tonnes of CO2 output
- A 42% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from power generation
- 大约 1,427 千升柴油
- 减少了 3.85 吨二氧化碳的产量
- 发电产生的温室气体排放量减少了42％
"In addition to these strong sustainability benefits, the regenerative energy storage solution also reduces daily operating costs, reduces plant operating hours and maintenance requirements, and provides an additional level of redundancy to the power system that was not available in passive components such as load banks," said Greg Bell, RUC electrical manager.
RUC电气经理格雷格·贝尔说：“除了这些强大的可持续性优势外，再生储能解决方案还降低了日常运营成本，减少了工厂的运行时间和维护要求，并为电力系统提供了负载组等被动组件所不具备的额外冗余水平。”
