Off-grid cost of energy storage containers for Australian mines

4 FAQs about Off-grid cost of energy storage containers for Australian mines

How can Australian off-grid mining benefit from solar power?

Australian off-grid mining operations can benefit greatly from the vast solar potential, by reducing the costs of diesel (including that of transportation to remote locations) and lessen the impacts of emissions on the environment .

How can off-grid mining improve the environment?

For off-grid mining, renewable energy and storage technologies present an ideal opportunity not only to improve the mine's environmental footprint, but also reduce energy costs while improving power quality. We are seeing a strong drive to optimise energy across mines, including solutions for e-mobility and rapid charging.

Can SBD systems be used in off-grid mining?

This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and holistic way to assess the economic and environmental feasibility of implementing SBD systems into off-grid mining operations, with the aim of encouraging the shift to renewables. To account for externalities, the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) is incorporated into analysis.

Should miners invest in a decentralised power supply?

For mining companies, energy consumption is a major expense, comprising approximately 30% of total cash operating costs. Standard practice is for mine site operators to seek convenient power purchase agreements (PPAs) with local utilities, but a trend is emerging towards miners investing in decentralised on-site power supply.
