Sustainable savings in powering Submersible Bore Pumps

"The startup current of a submersible bore pump motor is 6 times the running current. A diesel generator is typically oversized by a factor of 6 or more to power the submersible pump. All diesel engines must be run above 40% loading to allow for complete fuel combustion, and operation of engine at the correct cylinder temperatures. To address these challenges, an Ampd Silo, an advanced, compact and connected battery energy storage system (ESS), was used to replace a large diesel generator to support a submersible bore pump for mining applications. Without grid access, a 60 kVA Genset was used to recharge the Silo. The battery and generator operate seamlessly, providing consistent, highly efficient power. The generator was programmed to automatically start and stop for charging, allowing the ESS to manage load demand effectively."
