System and Method for Reinjection of Retard Energy in a Trolley-Based Electric Mining Haul Truck

Retard energy regenerated from an electrical motor during braking action is reinjected into a power system via trolley lines. The retard energy may be transmitted to a bidirectional electric substation and returned to a utility grid. The retard energy may also be transmitted to an auxiliary energy storage system, such as an ultracapacitor system or a battery system. Installing trolley lines for mining haul trucks on a downhill slope may be used to capture and re-use substantial quantities of retard energy.

Device for attaching busbar to a support rail

A device for attaching busbars of square or rectangular cross section on a support rail using electrically non-conducting support elements, which can be connected with the support rail and form a busbar receptacle adapted to the cross section of the busbar. With a simple fastener, assembly is considerably simplified because two post-shaped supports per busbar can be attached as support elements on the support rail, wherein spacing between the supports is matched to the width of the busbar and a height is matched to the thickness of the busbar. A base plate is arranged between the two supports, which insulates the busbar receptacle against the support rail and which is captively held between the holders. The ends of the supports facing away from the support rail can be closed by a strip.

System and Method for All Electrical Operation of a Mining Haul Truck

A mining haul truck driven by electrical wheel motors is operated with all electrical power sources; that is, without a diesel engine. While travelling on the loading site, the mining haul truck is powered by an on-board energy storage system, which can comprise a bank of ultracapacitors. The mining haul truck then moves to the bottom of a trolley ramp and is coupled to trolley lines. While travelling uphill, the mining haul truck is powered by the trolley lines, and the on-board energy storage system is charged by the trolley lines. When the mining haul truck reaches the top of the trolley ramp, the mining haul truck is uncoupled from the trolley lines. While travelling on the unloading site, the mining haul truck is powered by the on-board energy storage system. The on-board energy storage system can also be charged by retard energy generated by the wheel motors during braking.
