how to reduce energy consumption of pumping systems in mining by up to 30%
DESCRIPTION
Pumps and Pumping Equipment consume close to 25% of all energy associated with motor driven loads, and represent more than 50% of all potential energy savings. In mining, pumps are used in multiple process applications, including raw water supply, leach solutions, dewatering, and mine drainage. This presentation provides an overview of various “Pump System” options that can help mining companies reduce energy consumption of Pumping Systems by up to 30%.TRANSCRIPT

Passive Energy Savings –
By Design Motor Starting Example
●Energy efficient design provides more features while using less
energy than a standard starter and overload
SPMS versus IEC based solution -> 50.97% savings
SPMS versus NEMA based solution -> 92.71% savings
Contactor + MCP
Starter + Circuit Breaker
Self Protected Motor Starter
14 Schneider Electric
Active Energy Savings – VFD Example
●Variable Speed Drives
● On centrifugal loads such as pumps, VFD’s save energy because of the Affinity Laws
● Provide precise speed control of an AC motor
● Can generate full torque and low motor speed
● Protect a motor and wiring from overload currents
● Have inherent power factor correction increasing efficiency
● Limits inrush current to provide soft-start and soft-stop
15 Schneider Electric
Active Energy Savings – By Design
VFD Example
●Affinity Laws of Centrifugal Loads:
● FLOW is proportional to motor speed
● PRESSURE is proportional to the motor speed squared
● POWER is proportional to the motor speed cubed.
16 Schneider Electric
Active Energy Savings – VFD Example
A motor running at 90% of full speed requires 70% of the electricity
of a motor running at full speed.
17 Schneider Electric
●Situation – Dewatering Application
● A 50hp centrifugal Pump
● Supply air 10 hours/day for 250 days
● Cost at full speed would be:
50 hp x 0.746 kW/hp x 2500hours x $0.08 /kWhr = $7,460
●Assuming the Pump does not have to run at full speed all the time
● 25% of time at 100% speed = 625 hours
● 50% of time at 80% speed = 1250 hours
● 25% of time at 60% speed = 625 hours
●Cost running with an AC Drive:
● 50 x (1.0)3 x 0.746 x 625 x $0.08 = $ 1,865
● 50 x (0.8)3 x 0.746 x1250 x $0.08 = $ 1,910
● 50 x (0.6)3 x 0.746 x 625 x $0.08 = $ 428
Annual savings ($7,460.00 - $4,203.00) = $3,257
Potential Utility Rebate at $50 per HP = $2,500

●Efficient devices and installation (saves 10 to 15%)
●Optimized usage via automation (save 5 to 15%)
● Without regulation and control systems (up to 12 % lost)
●Without Monitoring and Maintenance (2 to 8% lost)

Energy Savings – Through Monitoring
System Level
●Power Monitoring Equipment
● Provides monitoring of facility’s power system
● Capture an record numerous parameters such as:
●Voltage
●Current
●Harmonics
●Power factor
●Transient Voltage
●Energy Consumption
●Peak Consumption
●Monitoring this data allows a facility manager to monitor,
understand, and correct any power issues in order to
maximize the energy usage of the facility
20 Schneider Electric
Energy Savings – Through Monitoring
Pump Specifics
●Motor Management System
● Allows control and power monitoring of individual devices
● Allows a user to monitor things such as a motor where it
would be traditionally too expensive for an dedicated power
monitoring device
● Predictive logic can alert a user to potential problems such as an
increase in motor current over a period of time
● Built in communication macros drive integration into System Level
systems allowing a facility to monitor all power aspects from
distribution to device
21 Schneider Electric
Conclusions
●Pumps are a primary consumer of energy in mining applications
●Solutions are available that will greatly reduce these costs
●Legislation is driving/incenting energy management
