Project Title : REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION & CARBON FOOTPRINT THROUGH IMPROVED PRODUCTION PRACTICES
The US coal mining industry consumes approximately 142 billion kWh per year of energy. The US Department of Energy estimates that the industry‟s annual energy consumption can be reduced by 49% (24.6 billion kWh/year by using currently available best practices and a further 44.8 billion kWh/year with more research). This constitutes nearly $3.7 billion of potential savings on coal production cos...
متن کاملHeavy Truck Modeling for Fuel Consumption Simulations and Measurements
Fuel consumption for heavy trucks depends on many factors like roads, weather, and driver behavior that are hard for a manufacturer to influence. However, one design possibility is the powertrain configuration. Here a new simulation program for heavy trucks is created to find the configuration of the powertrain that gives the lowest fuel consumption for each transport task. For efficient simula...
متن کاملVirtual Prototype Simulation of Truck Vibrations in High-Impact Shovel Loading Operations
The deployment of large machinery for low cost, bulk surface mine production operations has resulted in High-Impact Shovel Loading Operations (HISLO). In extreme cases, shovels load large dump trucks with 100ton (or more) passes generating high-impact forces under gravity. HISLO generates high-frequency shockwaves that cause severe truck vibrations exposing operators to Whole Body Vibrations (W...
متن کاملFuel Economy Improvement Strategy for Light Duty Hybrid Truck Based on Fuel Consumption Computational Model Using Neural Network
This paper describes a strategy for fuel economy improvement of light duty truck with parallel hybrid system. The main objective of this paper is to develop a new hybrid controller which optimizes the torque distribution among various running situations and driver’s characteristics with on-line simulation, computing fuel and electric current consumption by using neural network models of the hyb...
متن کاملFuel-Efficient Centralized Coordination of Truck Platooning
The problem of how to coordinate a large fleet of trucks with given itinerary to enable fuel-efficient platooning is considered. Platooning is a promising technology that enables trucks to save significant amounts of fuel by driving close together and thus reducing air drag. A setting is considered in which a fleet of trucks is provided with transport assignments consisting of a start location,...
