Abstract
A mine site electrification planning apparatus includes a model component to simulate mine site operations under a mine site electrification plan. A simulation control component may provide configuration data to the model component that are descriptive of varying distributions of zero greenhouse gas emitting (ZGHG) mining assets for which the mine site electrification plan is simulated. An optimization control component may identify the configuration data associated with the simulated mine site electrification plan that meets an economic optimization criterion related to physically implementing the mine site electrification plan.
