Abstract
In the present paper, we develop a new model, based on the implementation of deep neural networks, for the estimation of a series of excavation parameters, depending on the main environmental and excavation properties. The developed model, with high statistical accuracy (R > 0.79) and small RMSE (<17% of the actual output values), enables the simultaneous assessment of the following excavation parameters: effective capacity Qef, maximum current consumption Imax, maximum power consumption Nmax, maximum force consumption Pmax, maximum energy consumption Emax, and maximum linear and areal cutting resistance, KLmax and KFmax, respectively, based on the impact of the following environmental properties and excavation parameters: coal unit weight, coal compression strength, coal cohesion, friction angle, excavator movement angle in the left and right direction, slice height and thickness, and wheel velocity. The data analyzed in the present paper were previously collected from three neighboring open-pit coal mines in Serbia: Tamnava Western Field, Tamnava Eastern Field, and Field D. These mines have similar geological conditions and coal properties. Additionally, for each output factor, a complex analysis is provided on the impact of the examined input factors, by applying the multiple linear regression method. As far as we are aware, this is the first time such a comprehensive estimation model has been suggested for the operation of a bucket-wheel excavator in the Neogene coal basins. The deep neural network (DNN) model, trained over 300 epochs, shows an MSE range of 6.7–16.5% across various input factors, with distinct evaluations for Imax due to its unique values (4.8–12.5%).
