TROLLEY ASSIST TO OPTIMISE HAULING CYCLES WITH ELECTRIC TRUCKS
By
Vicente E. AlvaradoPlanning and Development EngineerGrootegeluk Coal Mine
PURPOSE OF THE PRESENTATION
This presentation discuss the basic analytical tools required to evaluate the feasibility of the application of TROLLEY ASSIST to mining hauling cycles.
By applying trolley assist, open cast mining activities may save up to 50% in the fuel cost and improve the productivity of the fleet by 10% or more
TROLLEY ASSIST : What is it?
An engine drives the alternator to generate power on board of
the truck. The power is chenneled to the wheel motors
Power is collected from a DC overhead line by means of
pantographs. The line propels the truck. The engines just
idle along

THE OVERHEAD LINE
The overhead line consists of galvanised mast poles positioned at a maximum distance of 50 m apart. The line is strung with grooved contact wire, which may be fixed directly to the poles by means of insulated brackets or may hang from a messenger cable, which is fixed to the poles by means of insulators.
THE TRACTION RECTIFIERS
The rectifiers are sized to supply one truck permanently. In this way, the number of trucks to be connected simultaneously to the line determines the number of rectifiers to supply a specific line. This distributed scheme reduces the possibility of overloading the contact wire and reduces the voltage fluctuations experienced by the truck

FUEL CONSUMPTION RATE
In trolley mode, the engine normally idles at about 750 rpm. In that condition, the load on the engine is mainly the cooling blower of the electrical system. This load is normally about 10% of the gross capacity of the engine.
In diesel propulsion on a 10% effective grade, the engine will develop full power at maximum speed. In the case of the 12V 4000 engine, this is 2025 BHP at 1900 rpm.

Energy Utilisation in Trolley
For the EH4500 truck, the maximum line voltage is limited by the capacity of the system specified by Siemens at 2400 volts maximum at the DC link of the drive. The current is limited at 1500 A. Therefore the estimated energy utilisation of the EH4500 truck in trolley mode is 3600 kW.
730E Truck Motorised Wheel Curves
For the 730E Truck:
Energy Utilisation = 1600 * 1450 / 1000 = 2320 KW
