Background
This project is based on the actual needs of green mines and intelligent mines. By applying the DC/DC converter independently developed by Wenlida Power Electronics, the energy wasted during the braking of the truck when going downhill can be recovered into the energy storage battery. When the truck is in working conditions that require power output, such as when going uphill, the energy in the battery can be released, so as to achieve the goal of reducing the fuel consumption of the diesel engine.
Project Analysis
Current Situation of the Project: Fuel-powered mining trucks still face many challenges in terms of environmental protection and energy consumption. Traditional fuel engines emit a large amount of harmful gases and particulate matter, causing serious pollution to the mines and their surrounding environments. At the same time, high fuel consumption also increases the operating costs of mines and reduces economic benefits. In order to address these issues, many mining enterprises have begun to seek environmentally friendly alternative products for converting mining trucks from "fuel-powered" to "electric-powered".
Customer Requirements:
-
Operation Efficiency:
-
Improve Power Transmission Efficiency: The power transmission efficiency of electric motor drives is relatively high, which can better adapt to load changes and improve operation efficiency.
-
Reduce Failure Rate: Compared with fuel-powered mining trucks, the failure rate of pure electric mining trucks can be reduced by 20%-30%, thus increasing the effective working time of users.
-
Intelligent Development: Promote intelligent upgrading. Electric mining trucks can be combined with intelligent technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data to achieve functions such as remote control and automated operation, and promote the intelligent development of mines.
-
Cost Aspect: Electricity and hydrogen energy are usually less costly than fuel. In the long run, they can reduce operating costs. Moreover, with the development of power technology and the scale effect, the cost may be further reduced.
-
Performance Improvement: Electric mining trucks have certain advantages in power output, and can provide more stable and powerful power, which helps to improve operation efficiency and quality.
-
Environmental Benefits:
-
Reduce Exhaust Emissions: Electric mining trucks produce almost no exhaust gas and noise pollution, which helps to reduce exhaust emissions in mining areas and protect the environment.
-
Reduce Pollution Emissions: According to calculations, for example, the first batch of 5 electric heavy trucks in a certain mining area can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,105 tons, carbon monoxide emissions by 61 tons, and hydrocarbon emissions by 2.5 tons per year, which has a positive effect on environmental protection.
