Stream A: Breakfast Briefing: Operational Implications of Renewables and Storage for Mines

May 8th Stream A

Information

Determining the right system configuration to balance intermittency, affordability, and reliability of renewable energy technologies for mines as well as understanding the operational implications of powering a site with green energy is a complex process. At the same time, miners are also weighing fleet decarbonisation options which each have very different energy infrastructure requirements. This session will provide critical insight on these key topics for miners managing this complicated transition.

  • How is the move to renewables resulting in mine operational shifts and design considerations?
  • How can miners determine the optimal solution for specific use cases?
  • With a variety of hybrid solutions for mines up and running, what are the key takeaways from these operational projects?
  • What are the latest developments in firming capacity for solar and wind power?
  • How are short and long-duration energy storage solutions evolving to optimize load demand?
  • What are some of the considerations around the charge cycle for storage solutions as you increase the amount of renewable energy in a hybrid system
  • How do renewable energy infrastructure needs change depending on a mine’s fleet decarbonisation plans: trolley assist vs. BESS vs. hydrogen-powered trucks?
  • How will the whole decarbonised mining ecosystem fit together - determining the interoperability of batteries, trucks, charging etc.?
