Project Background and Significance
The Hami Barkol Coal Washing Plant in Xinjiang is a key energy project in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, located in the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt, with an annual coal processing capacity of 5 million tons. Its newly built 7-unit, 61-cabinet power distribution system is a core infrastructure of the coal washing plant, requiring a highly reliable, intelligent, and low-carbon power supply for high-energy-consuming equipment such as crushers, flotation machines, and belt conveyors. Located in a border region with harsh climatic conditions, the project places extremely high demands on the environmental adaptability and long-term stability of the power distribution equipment.
Leveraging its technological strength in intelligent power distribution and experience in mining projects, Shanghai Zikai Electric Co., Ltd. provided the project with a complete set of core power distribution equipment and system solutions, and successfully completed the power transmission, helping the Barkol Coal Washing Plant build a safe, efficient, and sustainable energy supply system.
Project Highlights and Contributions of Zikai Electric
High-reliability intelligent power distribution architecture
To meet the extreme requirements of coal washing plants for continuous power supply, Zikai Electric designed a dual-circuit + intelligent backup power switching (ATS) system, which includes core equipment such as 61 gas-filled switchgear cabinets, high-voltage switchgear cabinets, and intelligent circuit breakers, to ensure "zero interruption" in key processes such as crushing and sorting.
Digital protection devices are used to achieve millisecond-level fault location and automatic recovery, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel.
Intelligent monitoring and energy efficiency optimization
An integrated IoT monitoring platform monitors device status, power quality, and load distribution in real time. Through AI algorithms, it dynamically adjusts power supply strategies, which is expected to reduce line loss rate to below 3% (data example).
It reserves access ports for energy storage systems, enabling future expansion into clean energy applications and helping companies achieve their carbon neutrality goals.
Adaptability to harsh environments
The equipment has passed IP67 protection certification and can withstand extreme temperature differences (-30℃ to 50℃), sandstorms and high salt spray environments in Xinjiang. The lifespan of key components has been extended to more than 25 years.
Strictly adhering to State Grid technical specifications, it supports "one-click start/stop" and remote operation and maintenance, reducing the difficulty of operation and maintenance in border areas.
Customer testimonials and regional value
The head of the Hami Barkol Coal Washing Plant in Xinjiang stated, "Zikai Electric's intelligent power distribution system not only far exceeded our expectations in terms of technological advancement, but their professional team also collaborated efficiently throughout the entire process, from scheme design to power transmission implementation, fully guaranteeing the project's progress and quality. This cooperation has laid a solid foundation for our intelligent upgrade in the western energy base!"
The successful power transmission of this project marks an important step forward for Xinjiang in energy cooperation and green mining under the Belt and Road Initiative, and provides a replicable model for the low-carbon transformation of energy-intensive industries in western China.
Zikai Electric: Empowering Western Development with Technology
The successful completion of this project once again demonstrates Shanghai Zikai Electric's technological strength and social responsibility in the mining industry. In the future, the company will continue to uphold its mission of "safer electricity and more efficient power consumption," working hand in hand with partners to inject reliable power into national energy security and the revitalization of border regions!
