Mine Power Consumption Model

Mine Power Consumption Model MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate electricity demand and costs for mining operations.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for modeling power consumption in mining environments. It allows users to calculate peak demand, annual energy usage, and total electricity costs by analyzing equipment inventories and load factors. Use query_equipment_consumption to analyze specific machine groups, calculate_total_utility_cost to determine bills including demand charges, simulate_annual_profile for yearly budgeting, or compare_load_scenarios to evaluate how different utilization levels impact costs.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

compare_load_scenarios

Evaluates how changing the operational load affects the total cost

query_equipment_consumption

Calculates the specific energy consumption and peak demand for a selected subset of equipment

simulate_annual_profile

Provides a high-level yearly projection of power needs and costs based on a full inventory

calculate_total_utility_cost

Determines the total monetary cost of electricity for a period, accounting for both usage and peak penalties

What is the estimated energy consumption for equipment IDs 'crusher-01' and 'conveyor-05' with a load factor of 0.8 over 100 hours?

The total energy consumption for those units is 4500 kWh with a peak demand of 50 kW.

Calculate the total utility cost if I have 50000 kWh consumed, a peak demand of 200 kW, an energy rate of 0.12, a demand charge of 15, and a power factor of 0.96.

The total utility cost is $8,950.00, consisting of $6,000.00 in usage costs and $2,950.00 in demand charges.

How will my costs change if I increase the load factor from 0.7 to 0.9 for my current equipment set?

Increasing the load factor from 0.7 to 0.9 will increase your estimated annual cost from $120,000 to $155,000 due to higher energy usage and increased peak demand charges.

The model uses the `calculate_total_utility_cost` tool to factor in both energy consumption and peak demand charges, ensuring a realistic estimation of utility bills.
