Understanding the performance capabilities of hybrid systems for mines

2019-02-25T12:20:25+00:00

In this presentation from the Renewables and Mining Summit in Johannesburg in June 2013, SIEMENS' Fabrice Nicolas outlines the operating potential for hybrid systems in mines sites. What is of particular interest is that Fabrice advocates the use of greater than 100+ penetration of renewables for individual operations.  This level of penetration then enables the mine Read More

Australia government funded report in to viability of renewables for remote mining operations

2019-02-11T10:53:03+00:00

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency is funding a feasibility study in to portable PV-diesel hybrid systems. The issue for many mines is that the lifetime of a solar installation is typically much longer than that of a mine site. If the solar-diesel hybrid could be deployed on a temporary basis this might be less of a Read More
