Development of Computer Models for Typical Technological Installations of a Diamond Mining Underground Mine

Industrial production is the main consumer of electric energy both in Russia and in many other countries of the world. In Western Yakutia such production is the diamond mining industry. Currently, electric power systems of industrial enterprises are becoming more complex and energy-intensive. Therefore, the development and design of their electric power systems is difficult without the use of computer and simulation modeling programs. The paper considers issues related to the modeling of electric power and electrical engineering systems. The MatLab package was selected as a modeling program. The calculation of the parameters required for modeling was performed. As a result of the study, computer models of typical technological installations of an underground diamond mine were designed, developed and tested, namely, the following problems were solved: the theoretical foundations of the electric drive were studied; the corresponding blocks were selected from the modeling library; computer models of three types of engines were developed; the obtained results were analyzed and modeling errors were determined. The most effective electric drive systems for use in process units of industrial enterprises are designated.
