TBM Tunnel Boring Project Case Study

Project Overview:

The project mainly adopts TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine) for tunnel excavation. To meet power demands, 8 sets of Intelligent Diesel Bess Hybrid Power Station adapted for plateau environments are deployed to supply power for TBM construction.By adopting advanced Intelligent Diesel Bess Hybrid Power Station technology, the system delivers low-cost, stable, high-efficiency power supply with intelligent management, strongly supporting tunnel excavation work.The fuel consumption ratio reaches above 3.2, reducing fuel consumption by more than 40% compared with conventional high-voltage diesel generator sets.
