ABB to deliver trolley assist solution to Copper Mountain Mining in Canada

ABB has won an order to deliver emissions at the site by up to 7 per cent. providing in excess of 12MW of DC a complete open-pit haul truck Copper Mountain Mining intends to power to the trolley assist system. The trolley assist solution for Copper reduce carbon intensity by more than 50 trolley control system can provide Mountain Mining in Canada. per cent at the mine in 5-7 years through connectivity to the existing distributed

The installation includes engineering, electrification and capacity increase. control system (DCS) automation supply and construction management Each truck will be fitted with a platform for seamless integration and for a DC substation monitoring of trolley and an overhead catenary system “A trolley assist system significantly operations and energy consumption. ABB is (OCS), combining ABB’s electrification reduces GHG emissions for ultra-class also providing OCS components customized and automation expertise in the mining mining haul trucks” for mining applications. “A trolley assist system industry. significantly reduces

Copper Mountain mine, near pantograph to receive external electric GHG emissions for ultra-class mining Princeton, British Columbia, is a power. ABB will be responsible for the haul trucks, which are typically the conventional open-pit, truck and off-truck trolley assist infrastructure biggest source of emissions in a mining shovel operation which produces and provide engineering, project operation,” said Sachin Jari, industry approximately 100 million pounds management, equipment supply, system lead – Mining, North America at ABB. (45,000 metric tons) of copper commissioning and construction ABB has previously installed a similar equivalent per year. management. substation at Boliden AB’s Aitik mine,

The initial phase of the trolley assist ABB will also design the overhead Sweden’s largest open-pit copper mine, system, which will be installed in late catenary system (OCS) infrastructure and is part of ongoing expansion plans 2021, is expected to reduce carbon and deliver a rectifier substation at the site.
