Description:
The aim of the HEET II project is to improve labour standards of miners and energy safety in the mines as well as other industries and public services. Four main issues implemented in the project (single-wire energy transmission, wireless energy transmission, monitoring, management and communication, integrated composite monorail route) definitely provide an innovative solution for a highly efficient and safe electricity transmission system. The newly developed components in the HEET II will improve safety by minimizing electric shock hazard and by increasing reliability of the electricity network especially with regard to the reduction of energy costs and capacity of batteries. HEETII is focused on developing and testing the state-of-the-art systems for powering machines and devices, mainly operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, such as coal mines.
