Modernising underground compressed air DSM projects to reduce operating costs
Kriel, C.J.R.; Marais, J.H.; Kleingeld, M. (IEEE, 2014)Compressed air is an energy intensive utility that is frequently used in the deep level mining industry. Most compressed air networks are designed to ensure ample compressed air supply to consumers. This has created the ... -
Reducing energy consumption of mine cooling systems by controlling chilled water demand of mobile cooling units
Mare, P.; Marais, J.H.; Kriel, C.J.R. (IEEE, 2014)Energy costs are increasing rapidly. Energy efficiency strategies are required to reduce electricity consumption for energy intensive operations. Cooling systems of deep level mines consume approximately 25% of their total ...
