“…The initial capital outlay for establishing a renewable energy plant surpasses the cost of incorporating generators into a diesel-based facility, and this cost differential is projected to persist in the foreseeable future [98][99][100]. This financial aspect assumes considerable significance from a cash flow perspective, especially when contemplating a self-generation setup.…”

Mining in Canada stands as one of the most energy-intensive sectors, playing a pivotal role as a significant provider of copper, nickel, and cobalt to the international market. Anticipated growth in the global population, coupled with the transition of several low-income economies to middle-income status, is poised to escalate the demand for essential raw materials. This surge in demand is expected to drive an increase in energy consumption across various stages of the Canadian mining industry, encompassing exploration, extraction, processing, and refining. Due to their geographical constraints, most Canadian mining operations rely heavily on fossil fuels such as diesel and heavy fuel. Considering the global shift towards decarbonization and the pursuit of net-zero emission targets, exploring avenues for adopting electrification solutions and integrating renewable energy technologies, particularly in sizable surface mines, is imperative. Within this context, our study delves into the challenges and prospects associated with infusing renewable energy technologies and embracing electrification alternatives within Canadian mining practices. This exploration encompasses a comprehensive review of pertinent literature comprising academic research, technical analyses, and data disseminated by international entities and experts. The findings underscore a prevalent trend wherein Canadian mining enterprises are prominently investing in robust electric truck fleets, particularly for heavy-duty operations. Additionally, incorporating renewable energy solutions is notably prevalent in remote sites with extended operational lifespans. However, an in-depth examination reveals that the most formidable hurdles encompass successfully integrating renewable energy sources and battery electric vehicles. Financial constraints, logistical intricacies, and the imperative to enhance research and development competencies emerge as pivotal challenges that demand strategic addressing.

“…HESSs combine multiple ESDs in a configuration that is beneficial to the degradation of each, individually. For this combination, it is necessary to split the power optimally between these ESDs, which requires instantaneous measurements of the capacities and accurate predictions of the RUL/SOH of each [144].…”

Energy storage devices are fast becoming a necessity when considering a renewable energy harvesting system. This improves the intermittency of the source as well as significantly increasing the harvesting capacity of the system. However, most energy storage devices have a large limitation with regards to their usable life—this aspect is especially relevant to batteries. The degradation of batteries (and energy storage devices) plays a large role in determining their feasibility and the degradation is determined through capacity estimations—due to the inability/difficulty of directly measuring instantaneous capacity. This article aims to research the various methods used to estimate the capacity as well as the applications of these measurements aimed at reducing the degradation of the energy storage device. Through this research, the advantages and disadvantages of the measurements and their applications will be revealed, which will then highlight an area in which these estimations or their applications can be improved. The novelty of this paper lies in the graphical representation of the capacity measurement techniques, and how they relate to each other, as well as the relations and differences between their applications, highlighting the limitations in how the measurements are used.

“…In the traditional electrical grid, power is generated in large, centralized plants and then transmitted to the end-user using one-directional flows [1]. The need to meet the challenges and targets regarding energy savings and environmental protection lead to an increase in interest in the use of technologies such as smart grids [2][3][4][5], distributed energy resources [6][7][8], as well as the need for the development of new management structures [9][10][11][12][13][14] for the resulting systems. In addition to generation units, distributed energy resources (DER) systems may also include storage and transmission capacities, as well as infrastructure for the connection and control of the use of all the installed technologies [15].…”

This work presents the development of a decision-making strategy for fulfilling the power and heat demands of small residential neighborhoods. The decision on the optimal operation of a microgrid is based on the model predictive control (MPC) rolling horizon. In the design of the residential microgrid, the new approach different technologies, such as photovoltaic (PV) arrays, micro-combined heat and power (micro-CHP) units, conventional boilers and heat and electricity storage tanks are considered. Moreover, electricity transfer between the microgrid components and the national grid are possible. The MPC problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model. The proposed novel approach is applied to two case studies: one without electricity storage, and one integrated microgrid with electricity storage. The results show the benefits of considering the integrated microgrid, as well as the advantage of including electricity storage.
