Development of an autonomous energy supply system for harvesting wood resources based on wood fuel

Abstract

A number of original technical solutions of energy supply system of technological processes of wood harvesting and production of chips in the cutting area and upper warehouse are presented. It is proposed to use generator gas from chips instead of traditional motor fuel. The autonomous power supply system includes a power plant with a DC motor and a hydraulic station, a power cable for transmitting electrical energy and a power plant. The power plant is installed on the chassis of the technological machine. The power plant equipment is located on a separate car trailer chassis. The power plant includes a battery of electrical energy, a DC generator, a heat engine on the generator gas, gas generators and a container with a fuel reserve. For cable rolling along the cutting area, special patented rollers are offered. The use of this system can save up to 870 liters of motor fuel from non-renewable resources per 1,000 cubic meters of harvested wood.
