Zusammenfassung: | A mining machine including a bi-directional electrical bus, a power source coupled to the bi-directional electrical bus, a motor coupled to the bi-directional electrical bus, the motor powered by energy available on the bi-directional electrical bus, a kinetic energy storage system coupled to the bi-directional electrical bus and a controller. The controller is configured to communicate with the kinetic energy storage system and the power source. Wherein the controller is configured to operate the kinetic energy storage system as a primary power source for the bi-directional electrical bus and to operate the power source as a secondary power source for the bi-directional electrical bus when the kinetic energy storage system cannot satisfy an energy demand on the bi-directional electrical bus. |
