Richards Bay Minerals voltage dip mitigation study 


Cliff & Tony Energy investigated alternative dip mitigation technologies and recommended a robust solution that can be implemented at the RBM on the mining supply network to alleviate or mitigate the effects of external voltage dips.


The current dip mitigation technology although decommissioned due to reliability issues used to provide steady state and dynamic reactive power support into the mine's supply. The mine was exposed to external disturbances. Our services included

 

    • Review of available information on the decommissioned dip mitigation solution
    • Technical comparison of recommended dip mitigation solutions
    • Process and analyze voltage dip record measurements from the mine
    • Update mine's network model and re-create the dip records
    • Simulation of voltage dip events with and without mitigation solutions
    • NRS048 dip simulations with and without mitigation solutions 
    • Recommend a suitable dip mitigation solution
