METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING POWER CONSUMPTION DURING ROCK DRILLING AND ROCK DRILLING APPARATUS INCORPORATING SUCH A SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a power consumption during a rock drilling process using a rock drilling apparatus, wherein power supplying means provide power to the rock drilling process, which includes a number of sub-processes. The method comprises the steps of determining a parameter value representing a total available power for the rock drilling process, and to control the power distribution between the sub-processes of the rock drilling process such that the total power consumption of the sub-processes do not exceed the totally available power.
