Peñoles' gold and silver mine located in the mountains of Durango.
The company wanted all its mines to be in compliance with the parameters of the Grid Code.
- Power factor non-compliance:
- Flicker non-compliance
- harmonics non-compliance
They first contacted us to perform studies on all 20 plants at all of their mines, where we generated customized solutions for the non-compliance at each of them.
The challenge at this mine was the 17-hour distance and freezing cold temperatures on the roads to get there.
They faced the following challenges:
- Finding a supplier to service them due to the remote location.
- Lack of telephone signal in the region, which made it difficult to carry out the project.
- The mine had a very confined space for the installation of the solution, so we had to make adaptations to work in it.
- Compliance with the mine's internal safety requirements in terms of personal protective equipment, anti-explosion and anti-collapse precautions.
