The Challenge
Creating an innovative solution to turn underground mine hoists into energy generators, with energy stored using a regenerative storage solution
The Solution
PowerFlex® 755TR variable speed drives were selected due to their flexibility and their suitability for cranes, hoists, and lifting applications Low Voltage Motor Control Centres ThinManager® software for application management
Results
A successful regenerative storage solution developed with strong collaboration between Rockwell Automation, RUC Mining, and Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) Sustainability benefits, including predictions of a saving of 1,427 kilolitres of diesel (saving approximately AUD$2 million), a reduction of 3.85 tonnes of CO2 output, and a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from power generation Future potential to implement the innovative new solution on larger hoists
