An example of a mining site with large battery storage developed by JUWI on the African continent is the Sukari solar plant in Egypt for Centamin. The plant comprises a 36 MW solar farm and 7.5 MWh battery energy storage system commissioned in late 2022.
The future of mining vehicles may be battery powered, but diligence is needed on what type of battery will be used. American construction machinery company Caterpillar unveiled the R1700XE in April 2019.
This includes the Minetruck MT42 Battery, the largest battery-operated mining truck on the market with a 42 tonne payload capacity. Like the R1700XE it uses lithium-ion batteries and it hauls material faster than its diesel-powered rivals, producing ‘unheard of’ speed inclines.
Swedish company Epiroc has unveiled a series of electric vehicles since 2016. In November 2018, it unveiled its second generation of electric vehicles for mining. This includes the Minetruck MT42 Battery, the largest battery-operated mining truck on the market with a 42 tonne payload capacity.
Solar and wind energy in combination with BESS are clear pathways for the energy transition in mining, while meeting energy production needs for long-term growth. The right integration of these different components is key to success. What lessons have been learned from operational storage projects for mines?
Graeme Stanway, a co-founder of the consortium, believes that as the way we generate and store power drastically changes, the mining community is eager for greater resources to play its part. “Like the electric vehicle industry, electric mines are the future,” he says.
