Methodological principles of optimal air distribution of underground mines in "ventilation on demand" systems
A modern mining enterprise is a large mechanized and automated farm, characterized by a variety of technological equipment, in the operation of which, in optimal modes, consistency and interaction between its individual links is required. Continuous increase in the capacity of enterprises, an increase in the level of mechanization and automation of processes in general, an increase in loads at the bottom and a corresponding increase in the capacity of mining and transportation equipment. This article discusses an on-demand ventilation system for an underground mine. In addition, on the basis of the analysis carried out, the authors conclude that it is necessary to use artificial intelligence, namely, neural networks to achieve autonomy in the operation of the ventilation system in an underground mine.
