A mine storage supports the energy system in several ways, often simultaneously. It can act as energy storage, grid frequency regulator, capacity reserve, transmission support, inertia provider, or as a behind-the-meter solution to support large energy producers or energy-intensive industries.
Although many mines are located in sites with good wind or solar resources, they have been limited in how much renewable energy they can use due to the intermittency of the wind and sun. Mining groups are increasingly addressing this by adding battery energy storage systems (BESS) to renewable energy facilities.
Mine Storage provides a storage solution with a unique, modular design, and reliable functionality. Our design is a fast response, closed loop system in old mines. By using mines, we minimize the environmental impact, reduce construction costs, and utilize existing infrastructure such as grid connections.
One of the first examples of how battery storage can help make mine energy supplies more resilient and sustainable is Gold Fields ’ Agnew Gold Mine, located in a remote part of Western Australia, 1,000km north-east of Perth.
Using water and gravity to store energy is one of the most mature and widespread technologies for energy storage available today. In fact, more than 90 % of the current grid-supporting energy storage is based on water and gravity. Using abandoned mines has several benefits on different levels.
Our solution is always designed based on how revenue will be generated. Mine Storage is a suitable solution for both bulk storage and ancillary services. For each mine storage plant, the operational model is developed to optimise the revenue based upon the conditions of the local market.
