The Challenge

Mining Operations Need Reliable Power in Remote Environments

Mining sites are often located in remote areas where grid access can be weak, intermittent, or unavailable. Even grid-connected operations often rely on additional on-site generation as backup, typically powered by diesel or natural gas.

This creates major operational challenges, including high fuel costs, generator inefficiency, power instability, blackout and brownout risk, and increased emissions. For mining teams, unreliable energy does not just create inconvenience, it can lead to downtime, lost productivity, and higher operating costs.

CleanDesign hEMS for Mining

A Smarter Way to Manage Mining Power

CleanDesign’s Hybrid Energy Management System integrates battery storage, intelligent generator automation, and real-time power management to support mining operations with more stable and efficient energy use.

The system helps balance energy demand, optimize generator performance, reduce unnecessary fuel burn, and manage different power inputs across the site. Whether a mine relies on diesel generators, natural gas generators, renewable energy, or a mix of sources, hEMS helps optimize how that energy is produced, stored, and used.

Power Support That Reduces Cost, Risk, and Downtime

Load smoothing

hEMS balances and manages energy load to prevent sharp peaks or drops in power usage.

Peak shaving

hEMS reduces energy consumption during high-demand periods to lower overall energy costs and reduce strain on the power system.

Blackout and brownout reduction

hEMS supports a continuous and stable power supply by reducing the frequency of outages and voltage drops during high demand or system stress.

Reduction in fuel and oil costs

By optimizing energy use and improving generator efficiency, hEMS helps reduce fuel consumption, oil use, and other operating expenses.

Optimization of power inputs

Many mines are expanding into renewable energy sources. Whether powered by solar, wind, diesel, natural gas, or generators, hEMS can optimize power inputs for maximum efficiency.

Proven in Mining: Endeavour Silver

CleanDesign’s Endeavour Silver deployment represents the company’s first production installation in the global mining industry.

The system demonstrates how hEMS can support remote mining operations by improving power generation reliability, reducing plant downtime, and lowering operational costs. By combining battery storage with intelligent engine automation, CleanDesign helps mining operators move closer to a more efficient and sustainable energy future.
