Power Management

Mining and Remote Community Energy Management Solutions

CleanDesign's Hybrid Energy Management System (hEMS) is deployed across two distinct off-grid and remote power applications: mining operations and remote northern communities. Each vertical has different power infrastructure challenges, different regulatory and logistical contexts, and different buyer profiles which is why CleanDesign addresses them through dedicated solution pages.

Maximize Efficiency, Minimize Emissions

hEMS can be applied in extreme and remote environments

battery energy storage systems
Mining
For mining operations — including remote mine sites, grid-connected mines with on-site generation, and underground operations — CleanDesign's hEMS reduces diesel fuel consumption by up to 48%, eliminates generator blackouts, and optimizes all power inputs including renewable sources.

The Challenge: Operations rely on energy support from the grid

hEMS provides an innovative solution that moves mining closer to a sustainable future.

The Challenge
Mining sites are typically located in remote areas which may have weak and intermittent grids. Since mining operations rely on energy from the grid, the mining industry would highly benefit from added grid support.
Our Innovative Solutions
Mining operations rely on a large fleet of diesel or natural gas generators which results in large fuel bills. An energy storage system like hEMS provides an innovative solution that moves mining closer to a sustainable future.

hEMS delivers essential benefits to mining grid support and operations, optimizing efficiency and ensuring seamless energy management.

Load smoothing
hEMS will balance and manage energy load to prevent sharp peaks or drops in power usage.
Peak shaving
hEMS allows the reduction of energy consumption during periods of high demand (known as "peaks") to lower overall energy costs and reduce strain on the microgrid.
Blackout and brownout reduction
Blackout and brownout reduction ensure continuous, stable power supply by limiting frequency of outages and voltage drops during high demand or system stress.
Reduction in fuel and oil costs
By optimizing energy use and improving system efficiency, hEMS lowers energy consumption and other operational expenses.
Optimization of power inputs
Many grid-connected mines are expanding into renewable energy sources. Whether powered by solar, wind, or generators, hEMS can optimize all types of power inputs for maximum efficiency.
hEMS provides an innovative solution for Remote Communities
In remote communities, the hEMS system integrates renewable energy sources with battery storage and intelligent power management to reduce dependence on traditional diesel generators. By optimizing energy usage and smoothing power loads, hEMS ensures a consistent, reliable power supply, even in areas with limited grid access. This not only lowers fuel costs and emissions but also enhances energy sustainability, providing a cleaner, more efficient solution for remote locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hEMS and how does it support microgrids in mining and remote communities?

hEMS (Hybrid Energy Management System) is CleanDesign's proprietary platform that integrates battery storage, renewable energy sources, and intelligent power management to stabilize and optimize microgrids in off-grid or weak-grid environments, such as mine sites and remote northern communities.

How much can hEMS reduce diesel fuel consumption at a mine site?

hEMS can reduce diesel fuel consumption by up to 48% at mining operations by optimizing power inputs, balancing loads, and minimizing reliance on generator fleets.

Can hEMS work with renewable energy sources like solar and wind?

Yes. hEMS is designed to optimize all types of power inputs, including solar, wind, diesel, and natural gas generators, making it flexible for mines and communities that are incorporating renewables alongside existing infrastructure.

How does hEMS reduce blackouts and brownouts in remote power systems?

hEMS continuously balances energy load and manages peak demand. This reduces the frequency of outages and voltage drops that commonly occur in weak or intermittent grids found in remote and mining environments.

Is hEMS suitable for remote communities without year round road or grid access?

Yes. hEMS is specifically built for communities lacking consistent road access, seasonal water access, or grid connections. It helps reduce dependence on diesel generators while delivering reliable, sustainable power.

What is peak shaving and why does it matter for mining and remote microgrids?

Peak shaving reduces energy consumption during high demand periods, which lowers overall energy costs and eases strain on microgrids. This is a key benefit for mining operations and remote communities where power capacity is limited.
