Vancouver, Canada | May 3–6, 2026 — Smart Control made a strong appearance at the 42nd CIM Connect Convention & Expo, held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, presenting its Smart Mining Microgrid Solution to global mining industry leaders, technology providers, and professionals.
As one of the world’s leading mining industry events, CIM Connect 2026 brought together international mining enterprises and innovators to explore the future of sustainable mining development. At the exhibition, Smart Control demonstrated how its integrated green power and intelligent energy management technologies can help mining operations achieve greater efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and reduced operating costs.
Addressing the Energy Challenges of Modern Mining Operations
The global mining industry is entering a new phase of sustainable and high-quality development. However, many remote mining sites continue to face critical energy challenges, including limited grid access, unstable power supply, heavy reliance on diesel generation, high operating expenses, and increasingly stringent environmental compliance requirements.
To address these issues, Smart Control introduced an integrated “Solar + Energy Storage + Diesel Generation” microgrid model, combined with an intelligent energy management system designed specifically for mining applications.
During the exhibition, the solution attracted significant attention from international visitors and industry stakeholders, thanks to its proven economic value and successful deployment experience.
Five Core Advantages Empowering Smarter Mining Energy Systems
Built upon Smart Control ’s extensive expertise in intelligent control systems and new energy technologies, the solution supports both off-grid and grid-connected mining scenarios, including new mine construction, expansion projects, temporary mining zones, and environmental retrofit applications.
1. Multi-Energy Integration for Reliable Power Supply
The solution integrates solar power, battery energy storage, and diesel generation into a flexible and complementary energy system. Even under grid fluctuations or extreme weather conditions, the system ensures stable and uninterrupted power supply, helping mining operators avoid costly downtime.
2. Flexible Mobile Energy Deployment
Smart Control ’s mobile energy storage vehicle adopts a modular containerized design, enabling rapid deployment and plug-and-play operation. The system can be flexibly relocated alongside mining activities and reused across different mining zones without occupying operational work areas.
Acting as a large-scale “mobile power bank,” the mobile storage solution works alongside fixed charging infrastructure to support stable mine operations and accelerate equipment electrification upgrades.
3. Lower Energy Costs Through Intelligent Optimization
By optimizing energy scheduling and significantly reducing diesel consumption, the system stores electricity during off-peak tariff periods and discharges during peak demand hours, effectively achieving peak shaving and valley filling while lowering overall electricity costs.
4. AI-Driven Intelligent Energy Management
Equipped with an AI-powered EMS (Energy Management System), the solution enables real-time monitoring of generation, storage, and load conditions while automatically optimizing charging and discharging strategies to reduce manual intervention and improve operational efficiency.
5. Supporting ESG and Low-Carbon Development Goals
By increasing the proportion of clean energy usage and reducing carbon emissions, the solution helps mining companies comply with increasingly rigorous environmental regulations and ESG investment standards.
Accelerating Global Expansion in Smart Green Mining
The solution has already achieved large-scale implementation across China and is well-suited for deployment in international mining regions including Canada, the United States, Africa, and Australia, demonstrating strong environmental adaptability and scalability.
Smart Control ’s participation at CIM Connect 2026 highlights the company’s commitment to advancing mining new energy technologies and accelerating its global market expansion.
Looking ahead, Smart Control will continue to drive innovation through its dual-engine strategy of “Intelligent Control + New Energy,” delivering smart, low-carbon power solutions for the global mining industry through microgrid technologies, mobile energy systems, and full lifecycle services — working together with global partners to usher in a new era of intelligent zero-carbon mining.
