Abstract:
This article examines the role of energy in mining. Energy is considered a key factor influencing the efficiency of mining equipment and the overall enterprise. It is proposed to determine the efficiency of mining equipment by the amount of energy expended, i.e., to consider the efficiency of the energy system for specific types of mining processes. Insufficient research is noted on the energy implications of various mining processes and the lack of a unified classification of energy use. Formulas are proposed for determining the energy consumption of technical devices based on the shift productivity of the following mining equipment: bulldozers, front-end loaders, scrapers, and drilling rigs. The research results show that the efficiency of mining equipment directly depends on the amount and type of energy expended to perform specific operations. There is an optimal energy range for each mining process that achieves maximum productivity and minimum costs. Further, recording and analyzing energy indicators helps improve mining safety by identifying and preventing emergencies related to equipment overload or improper energy use.
