3. Evaluation of Models and Optimisation Methods for Energy Minimisation of Drill Riggs
University essay from Linköpings universitet/FordonssystemAbstract : There are many benefits from using electrical powertrains over diesel powertrains within the mining industries, where some of these benefits come from reducing the pollution within the mines and therefore improve the working environment as well as reduce the ventilation costs required from ventilating these pollution. It is also desired to optimise the use of the vehicle to increase the efficiency and reduce fuel consumption of the vehicle. READ MORE

5. Digital twin of a safe system
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : At Epiroc’s drill rigs a safe system is installed to make sure the vehicle is driven in a safe manner. In the development both machine tests and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests have been performed but when changes are made the firmware in the safe modules has to be updated. To speed up the process a digital twin would be beneficial. READ MORE
