动态模拟是强大的工具，但前提是它们必须使用正确的方法开发，并使用经过验证的信息。采矿企业依靠模拟来确认复杂的集成系统可以在做出投资决策之前达到设计能力。在验证领域开展的工作可以为世界各地未来项目的成功做出宝贵贡献。当出口煤炭价格处于价格周期的低端时，煤矿延长矿山寿命项目被批准实施。在2016年项目可行性研究期间进行的全物料搬运价值链动态模拟至关重要，并为项目审查团队提供了实现年度生产目标的保证。模拟开发方法基于一种独特的方法，可减少模拟时间。在2018年完成项目建设和调试后，必须验证模拟，这可能导致在未来项目中采用这种方法。本文介绍了验证动态模拟所采取的步骤。该案例研究证实，动态模拟可以增加价值并预测采矿系统性能，从而做出明智的决策。
Dynamic simulations are powerful tools, but only if they are developed using the correct methodology, and with information that has been verified. Mining houses rely on simulation to confirm that complex, integrated systems can achieve design capacity before investment decisions are made. Work conducted in the realm of validation can make an invaluable contribution to the success of future projects undertaken around the world. Coal mine a life of mine extension project was approved for implementation when export coal prices were on the low end of the price cycle. The dynamic simulation of the full materials handling value chain conducted during the project feasibility study in 2016 was of utmost importance and provided assurance to the project review team that annual production targets can be achieved. The simulation development methodology was based on a unique approach that reduced time spent on the simulation. Upon completion of project construction and commissioning in 2018, it was essential to validate the simulation, which could lead to the adoption of this approach on future projects. This paper explains the steps taken to validate the dynamic simulation. This case study confirmed that dynamic simulation can add value and predict mining system performance, such that informed decisions can be made.
