Comminution, particularly milling, is on average the largest consumer of energy in mining. Actual comminution circuits consist in most of the cases in coarse crushing, SAG milling, pebble crushing and secondary ball milling. ...

This paper is based on the application of stochastic differential equations in simulating the active power consumption in street lamp operation, both in transient and steady state. The method worked as follows. Firstly, a ...

Consumption patterns of electric power systems are important for distribution companies, because of their significant impact on energy losses amount. Therefore, some incentives are suggested by distribution companies to ...

This paper investigates the relationship between electricity consumption, economic classification and household income, by means of comparing Brazilian Census Micro-Data with the customer database of AES Eletropaulo, a ...

In order to regulate the electrical power distribution stage, most of these countries have adopted price cap regulations, using concepts such as the "model/standard utility" or benchmarking schemes (i.e. efficiency frontiers). ...

The induction furnaces are loads having high power and nonlinear characteristic. The power consumption depends on the stage of melting metal in its interior and can cause serious problems on the electric power distribution ...
