This white paper, a collaboration between Siemens and juwi, addresses the mining industry's critical energy transition, emphasizing the need for sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable power. It advocates for hybrid microgrid solutions—integrating solar, wind, and battery storage—as the key to achieving these objectives.

The paper details how Siemens' Microgrid Control, a robust SICAM application at the core of juwi Hybrid IQ, empowers mines to maximize renewable energy contribution, significantly reduce operational costs (OPEX), and ensure grid stability through advanced features like synthetic inertia and genset off-mode capabilities. Highlighting scalability, flexibility, and strong cybersecurity, these solutions offer a proven path for mining operations to decarbonize, enhance efficiency, and future-proof their energy supply in a dynamic environment.
