This article discusses the work that resulted in the development of two battery-powered self-propelled electric mining machines intended for operation in the conditions of a Polish copper ore mine. Currently, the global mining industry is seeing a growing interest in battery-powered electric machines, which are replacing solutions powered by internal combustion engines. The cooperation of Mine Master, Łukasiewicz Research Network—Institute of Innovative Technologies EMAG and AGH University of Science and Technology allowed carrying out a number of works that resulted in the production of two completely new machines. In order to develop the requirements and assumptions for the designed battery-powered propulsion systems, underground tests of the existing combustion machines were carried out. Based on the results of these tests, power supply systems and control algorithms were developed and verified in a virtual environment. Next, a laboratory test stand for validating power supply systems and control algorithms was developed and constructed. The tests were aimed at checking all possible situations in which the battery gets discharged as a result of the machine’s ride or operation and when it is charged from the mine’s mains or with energy recovered during braking. Simulations of undesirable situations, such as fluctuations in the supply voltage or charging power limitation, were also carried out at the test stand. Positive test results were obtained. Finally, the power supply systems along with control algorithms were implemented and tested in the produced battery-powered machines during operational trials. The power systems and control algorithms are universal enough to be implemented in two different types of machines. Both machines were specially designed to substitute diesel machines in the conditions of a Polish ore mine. They are the lowest underground battery-powered drilling and bolting rigs with onboard chargers. The machines can also be charged by external fast battery chargers.

Traction Power

The application of electric power, which acts as a pillar energy and economic artery in modern society, is one of the most important symbols of the level of development and comprehensive national power of a country. Var is a crucial factor for the design and operation of AC power systems, and is closely bound up with the safety, stabilization, and economical operation of power systems. With the development of electrified railway, the importance of the dynamic var compensation for traction power supply systems of electrified railway becomes more and more distinct. Developing the var compensation strategy vigorously has important senses in theory and practice. In this article, synthetically considering technique and economic leval of power systems in our country, parameters modeling and design and verification and specific engineering application of a var compensation method are presented. This method is a preferable one for resolving undesirable effect on power systems from traction power supply systems of electrified railway, especially having dynamic and real time characteristics of var compensation.

Supply Systems

As demand for electricity in the U.S. continues to increase, it is necessary to explore the means through which the modern power supply system can accommodate both increasing affluence (which is accompanied by increased per-capita consumption) and the continually growing global population. Though there has been a great deal of research into the theoretical optimization of large-scale power systems, research into the use of an existing power system as a foundation for this growth has yet to be fully explored. Current successful and robust power generation systems that have significant renewable energy penetration—despite not having been optimized a priori—can be used to inform the advancement of modern power systems to accommodate the increasing demand for electricity. This work explores how an accurate and state-of-the-art computational model of a large, regional energy system can be employed as part of an overarching power systems optimization scheme that looks to inform the decision making process for next generation power supply systems. Research scenarios that explore an introductory multi-objective power flow analysis for a case study involving a regional portion of a large grid will be explored, along with a discussion of future research directions.

This paper presents an analysis of selected propulsion units dedicated to test stands for unmanned aircraft systems. It focuses on engines suitable for aircraft with a maximum take-off mass up to 150 kg. The study includes an analysis of propulsion units that can be used to power systems on stationary test stands dedicated to advanced research and measurement of prototype aerospace technologies intended for use in rotorcraft. The analysis of propulsion units shows that electric units are a better choice for powering UAV rotorcraft test stands. Their main advantages include the possibility to simplify the construction of the device by eliminating gears and to mount the motor in a vertical position, simpler power supply, cooling and control systems and the lack of an exhaust system. Additional advantages are undoubtedly lower vibration generation, cheaper and easier operation as well as better comfort.

The results of theoretical and experimental studies on the problems of effective application of shunt active filters for power quality improvement and electromagnetic compatibility ensuring were presented in this article. Based on the different theories and methods, the most effective and well-studied control algorithms of shunt active filters were determined and analyzed to ensure their effective application in distributed generation systems and combined power supply systems. Mathematical and computer simulation models of shunt active filters with different control algorithms in distributed generation systems and combined power supply systems were developed. According to the results of mathematical modeling and computer simulation, the dependences were detected, reflecting the influences of internal and external parameters on the factors, determining the efficiency of the correction of power quality indicators. The range of permissible changes in the parameters of shunt active filters by saving the required efficiency level of power quality correction was detected under varied power supply system characteristics, load parameters and also in hybrid structures. The adaptive algorithm of the shunt active filter functioning under varied application conditions for automated power quality improvement is developed on the basis
