Energy storage conveyor belt

How to reduce the energy cost of a belt conveyor system?

Influence factor like arrival time of trains and ramp rate of the belt speed were analyzed. In order to reduce the high electricity cost of the belt conveyor system in a coal mine, a virtual energy storage model of the belt conveyor system is proposed based on the coal storage ability of silo.

What is a belt conveyor system based virtual energy storage model?

A belt conveyor system based virtual energy storage model was developed. An optimal scheduling model of belt conveyor integrated with virtual energy storage was developed. The charging and discharging characteristics of the virtual energy storage were analyzed.

What is a belt conveyor & how does it work?

In recent years, the belt conveyor (BC) has become the most common equipment for coal transporting all over the world, and its energy consumption is second only to the mining system. At present, most of the BCs usually run at a fixed belt speed.

What is the optimal scheduling method for belt conveyor system in coal mine?

An optimal scheduling method for the belt conveyor system in coal mine considering the silo virtual energy storage capability is proposed in this paper. The electricity cost of the belt conveyor is reduced by utilizing the virtual energy storage characteristic of the silo. The conclusions are shown as below:

What is a conveyor belt system (CBS)?

Conveyor belt systems (CBSs) are used in a variety of industries for bulk material transportation, as outlined by Fedorko et al. ( 2014 ).

How does virtual energy storage affect belt conveyor scheduling?

An optimal scheduling model of belt conveyor integrated with virtual energy storage was developed. The charging and discharging characteristics of the virtual energy storage were analyzed. Influence factor like arrival time of trains and ramp rate of the belt speed were analyzed.
