Case Study: Powering a Remote Remediation Camp with Diesel, Renewables and Energy Storage

2019-02-19T14:02:20+00:00

By Ryan Jansen and Damian Rohraff There are several off-grid communities and industrial sites in Saskatchewan that use diesel generators to meet their electrical power needs. Generally these systems are able to perform their basic function and provide reliable power.  However, they present some challenges as well. Fuel costs make up the bulk of operational expenditures Read More

Despite barriers to adoption, cost pressure driving renewed mining interest in renewable energy

2019-02-19T11:19:45+00:00

Mine operators are in the current subdued economic reality increasingly looking at renewable electricity sources as a way to reduce current and future costs at operations; however, lower commodity prices hinder the widespread adoption of renewables, as falling profits and lower fuel prices maintain certain barriers. This had resulted in miners shifting their primary motivation for Read More

Flexible low-load gensets are a game changer in mining for solar–diesel hybrid solutions

2019-02-19T12:06:00+00:00

The genset industry reacts to growing hybrid markets with a new approach that overcomes limitations of traditional gensets and reduces operating costs for mining companies. Munich/Copenhagen, October 2015 – Gensets are typically optimized for efficient operation at their optimal load points. In so-called solar–diesel hybrid applications, gensets balance the intermittencies from the solar plant – for Read More
