Research on Electrical Energy Parameters in the Distribution System of a Mining Facility
Source abstract
Abstract
The study investigates the electrical energy parameters in the distribution system of a mining facility located in Murmansk Oblast, Russia, focusing on power quality (PQ) issues arising substantially from mine hoist operation conditions. Despite compliance with Russian standards related to PQ, discrepancies were observed between PQ measurement results and problems inherent in the system, such as transformer failures. The research employed two instruments, Resurs-UF2M and Metrel MI2892, to conduct a PQ survey, comparing their data aggregation methods and measurement accuracy. Various data aggregation intervals were also used to evaluate the impact of resolution on PQ assessment. Results revealed significant discrepancies between the instruments, with Metrel MI2892 providing a more reliable and detailed dataset, while Resurs-UF2M failed to capture rapid transients and enable profound PQ analysis to be performed. The research identified eight PQ indices exceeding permissible levels, attributed to the electromagnetic influence of high-power mining equipment. The findings underscore the limitations of current regulatory frameworks and measurement methods, emphasizing the need for revised standards to improve diagnostic accuracy. The research highlights the importance of proper instrument selection and configuration to mitigate PQ disturbances, prevent equipment failures, and enhance power system reliability in mining facilities.
