The use of electrical energy models for end-user groups in deep level mines

In this paper, the interchange of information between end-user group models of deep level mine power systems is demonstrated. The end-user group integration methodology tested was limited to information exchange between a single end-user group and the rest of the mine. The effect that the change of one end-user group has on another end-user group must also be taken into consideration. The need for the control model, controlling the interchange of information between the end-user group models, is also emphasised. The importance of an effective measuring, control and information system is demonstrated.
