5 FAQs about [Tailings photovoltaic support]
Can a large-scale PV system be installed on abandoned mine tailings?
Installation of a large-scale PV system on the surface of the tailings embankment has not been considered as an option for reuse of abandoned mine land. According to this analysis, however, using the abandoned mine tailings dams for large-scale PV systems is feasible and economically beneficial.
Can photovoltaic energy systems solve mining problems?
The mining industry has recently introduced the use of renewable energy systems to solve the problems. This study assessed the photovoltaic (PV) potential of an abandoned mine tailings dam at the Sangdong mine in South Korea.
Should a 3 MW PV system be installed on abandoned tailings dam?
Therefore, installing a 3 MW PV system on the abandoned tailings dam at the Sangdong mine is recommended as an efficient option for sustainable development of this abandoned mine land. In future work, further technical elements should be considered to design the 3 MW PV power plant in details.
Where are photovoltaic systems used?
For example, photovoltaic (PV) systems are operated at abandoned mines around the world, such as the Chevron Questa mine in the USA [ 2 ], the Meuro mine in Germany [ 3 ], and the Sullivan mine in Canada [ 4 ].
What is a tailings dam?
A tailings dam is an earth-filled embankment dam used to dispose of uneconomic byproducts of mining operations after separating the valuable fraction of the ore. Since most abandoned mines have tailings dams, installation and operation of PV systems might be possible if the surface of the tailings embankment could be used.
