Optimized model-based control of main mine ventilation air flows with minimized energy consumption

In early 2018, the Boliden Garpenberg operation implemented an optimized control strategy as an addition to the existing ventilation on demand system. The purpose of the strategy is to further minimize energy use for main and booster fans, whilst also fulfilling airflow setpoints without violating c...
