Mining Power System:Recommended Power System Design for Mid-size Iron Ore Mines
Traditionally, mining power systems have been designed by engineering companies (EPCs) and/or mining end-users applying their industrial process knowledge and their experience from previous projects. This results in robust installations that are often not optimized for cost and footprint because the electrical design process focuses on individual packages rather than considering the whole system.
Electrical equipment manufacturers are not usually involved in the design phase. They are only consulted during the request for quotation process once the design is completed. However, manufacturers have deep knowledge of product cost and technology limitations which could be used to further optimize the cost and reliability of the complete mining power system.
This guide will provide a concrete example of optimization that could be achieved when the end-user, EPC and manufacturer work together at early stage of the project.
●The power system design described in this document is recommended for an open pit iron ore mining site producing 9 million tons per annum (Mtpa) or 25 kt/day.
It is designed for reduced CAPEX and low total cost of ownership (TCO) while providing high level of operator safety. Cost optimization is achieved using remotely monitored and controlled MV and LV equipment installed in factory-built package substations and E-Houses. An Ethernet based system integrates electrical network management, real time energy consumption and asset condition monitoring with the industrial process control.
