To obtain a drive solution capable of withstanding the rugged mine environment while delivering premium around-the-clock performance, Loy Yang Power enlisted Rockwell Automation. The ‘in progress’ upgrade includes the redesign and progressive changeover of the mine’s existing coal transfer conveyor drive systems.
Located within the heart of the Latrobe Valley, 165 km east of Melbourne, Loy Yang Power provides reliable and efficient energy for industry and consumers right across south-eastern Australia.Īs part of the company’s ongoing commitment to producing reliable cost-efficient energy, Loy Yang Power recently embarked on an upgrade of its four-level open-cut coal mine facility, Loy Yang Mine. One energy industry stakeholder leading the way in providing industry with an uninterrupted supply of electricity is Victoria’s largest energy producer, Loy Yang Power.
Such outages can have a devastating effect, impacting both the energy producer’s and end-users’ bottom lines in a matter of minutes. As in all production processes, stoppages, breakdowns and unscheduled downtime can be crippling to the power generating process. Keeping Australia’s coal-fired power generation infrastructure online–from the coal mine through to the generating plant and distribution grid–goes some way to ensuring the nation’s industrial wheels remain turning. It accounts for approximately 75% of the country’s annual electricity production. In Australia, coal-fired power generation has established itself as a valuable power source, providing vast quantities of inexpensive and reliable electricity.
