Informational aspectsatmodel of power consumption by main drainage facilities of iron-ore mining enterprises

Abstract

The work investigates into variable informational approaches to modeling power consumption by main drainage facilities of ore mining enterprises with underground mining method. Methodological recommendations for using the models are also designed. The research deals with general methodological approaches to model formation with both power consumption indices for drainage facilities and corresponding costs. Logistics of model formation is substantiated, namely, combination of classic multifactor regression modeling with modern digital modeling methods – automated control systems used for drainage facilities. Principles of building fuzzy logic controllers and algorithms of their functioning under multichannel control are determined in detail. The improved fuzzy logic-based variant is proposed and combined, with correlation analysis, to provide the basis for developing algorithms of the automated control systems of electric power consumption. There is an example of developing a “road map” for implementing a generalized algorithm for automated control systems power flows for two current cases – a selective tariff with limited daily contract-based power consumption and that with a variable tariff. It is established that application of the two-rate hourly tariff with its conditional distribution (Night/Peak) instead of the three-rate tariff (Night/Half-Peak/Peak) on a single-use basis leads to a thirteen percent increase of daily power costs with a single-channel control of the ore flow and a seven percent increase with two-channel control (ore flow and drainage simultaneously). The use of fuzzy logic controllers enables minimizing these losses.

Simulation of power consumption control of receivers at underground iron ore mining enterprises

“…At the same time, the peculiarities of optimizing power consumption at iron ore underground mines using these methods, in particular, heuristic ones, have not been studied sufficiently. More attention is paid to the use of more classical methods [27,28] or individual technological objects are considered [29,30].…”
