Preliminary Site Selection of Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants - A GIS-based approach
The first stage in development and design of Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants (PSHP) is finding the optimum location. This paper presents a methodology for preliminary site selection of PSHP with the help of geospatial data analysis in a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. The conventional method of PSHP site selection has certain limitations and is not cost and time effective. The...
متن کاملDetermination of the largest pit with the non-negative net profit in the open pit mines
The determination of the Ultimate Pit Limit (UPL) is the first step in the open pit mine planning process. In this stage that parts of the mineral deposit that are economic to mine are determined. There are several mathematical, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms to determine UPL. The optimization criterion in these algorithms is maximization of the total profit whilst satisfying...
متن کاملOptimizing Long-Term Production Plans in Underground and Open-Pit Copper Mines
We present a methodology for long-term mine planning based on a general capacitated multicommodity network flow formulation. It considers underground and open-pit ore deposits sharing multiple downstream processing plants over a long horizon. The purpose of the model is to optimize several mines in an integrated fashion, but real size instances are hard to solve due to the combinatorial nature ...
متن کاملAn Uncertainty-based Transition from Open Pit to Underground Mining
There are some large scale orebodies that extend from surface to the extreme depths of the ground. Such orebodies should be extracted by a combination of surface and underground mining methods. Economically, it is highly important to know the limit of upper and lower mining activities. This concern leads the mine designers to the transition problem, which is one of the most complicated problems...
متن کاملVariable speed pumped storage hydropower plants for integration of wind power in isolated power systems
Energy storage is a key issue when integrating large amounts of intermittent and nondispatchable renewable energy sources into electric power systems. To be able to maintain the instantaneous power balance and to compensate for the influence of power fluctuations that might result from renewable sources, flexible capability for power control is needed. Therefore, sufficient energy storage with ...
