Power System Control Strategy For Mining Truck

摘要

Controlling a power system in a mining truck includes receiving data indicative of expected procession of the mining truck to a part of a travel path coinciding with an unavailable segment of a trolley line. Responsive to the data, the power system is commanded to transition from an on-trolley mode to an off-trolley mode, such that an electric propulsion motor of the mining truck is transitioned from receiving electrical power from the trolley line to receiving electrical power from an on-board electrical generator. Related apparatus and control strategies are disclosed.
