Experimental Investigation and Simulation Study on Electrical Energy Consumption in Mine Drive Haulage System

The experimental investigation study on energy consumption of fabricated 3hp mine drive haulage system is presented. The performance analysis of slip ring motor by conventional method and experimental set-up is prepared in the laboratory for a 3-hp wound rotor induction motor with mine drive mechanical arrangement. This paper presents a very easy and interactive model based on computer simulation in MATLAB/Simulink to simulate the performance of the Fabricated Experimental 3hp mine drive system. The experimental results are compared with the simulated MATLAB /simulink model. The comparative results are presented in this paper. The energy consumption study results for different gradients are also presented.
