Methods of economic assessment of wind-di-esel power supply systems in drilling, mining and exploration operations
With the noncentralized power system supplying energy to geological operations, the use of wind-diesel complexes (WDC) in the regions that are favourable in terms of wind situation will result in considerable reduction of expenditures dealing with purchasing and delivering rich liquid fuel, and the application of the method offered by the authors will make it possible to develop optimal WDC schemes for certain regions at a higher scientific level, and to estimate the economic benefits thus obtained.
