Proper Monitoring Methods for Safety Management of Tailings Dam

Floods from tailings dam failures.

This paper compiles the available information on historic tailings dam failures with the purpose to establish simple correlations between tailings ponds geometric parameters (e.g., dam height, tailings volume) and the hydraulic characteristics of floods resulting from released tailings. Following the collapse of a mining waste dam, only a part of tailings and polluted water stored at the dam is...

Diversion of Water from a Tailings Dam

geomatics applied to dam safety dgps real time monitoring

new advances in geomatics and communications technologies are enabling the development of automated auscultation system for structure monitoring. in particular, differential gps (dgps) technique allows real-time monitoring of structures with millimetre accuracy after an appropriate mathematical treatment. the results of real-time dgps monitoring of a pilot dam over 15 months are presented and c...

islanding detection methods for microgrids

امروزه استفاده از منابع انرژی پراکنده کاربرد وسیعی یافته است . اگر چه این منابع بسیاری از مشکلات شبکه را حل می کنند اما زیاد شدن آنها مسائل فراوانی برای سیستم قدرت به همراه دارد . استفاده از میکروشبکه راه حلی است که علاوه بر استفاده از مزایای منابع انرژی پراکنده برخی از مشکلات ایجاد شده توسط آنها را نیز منتفی می کند . همچنین میکروشبکه ها کیفیت برق و قابلیت اطمینان تامین انرژی مشترکان را افزایش ...
