1、Technical University of Clausthal, Institute for Mining, Clausthal-Zellerfeld, GermanyABSTRACT: Stagnation of coal prices to a low level on the international coal trading markets reduces profits and pressured the German hardcoal companies to reduce the mining costs by increasing of the face output a

This concentration could be achieved by the insertion of high performance longwall operations.The success of longwall operations is.dependent upon key points like Geology, equipment and the mine layout. This paper discusses the definitio

4、dustry have changed significantly in recent years. The German hardcoal industry had until the early 1990s a secure selling market. The ,Jahrhundertvertrag” guaranteed the purchase of German hardcoal by heavy industry and steel and energy providers. In the last few years the development of the Europe

5、an Union and a sweeping liberalization of the energy markets lead to heavy European and international rivalry. This increasing competition, caused by the import of inexpensive hardcoal from overseas, pressured the German hardcoal industry to react. It was necessary to concentrate the extraction on t

6、he most profitable collieries and to excavate only the most suitable parts of the deposits. Until recently it was required to mine the entire deposit. Although the number the mining operations decreased from 147 in 1990 to 64 in 1997 a 56 % decrease, the coal output decreased by only 32 % to 47 mu,

7、tons. This concentration will continue. Additionally, a reduction of the costs of production and an increase in productivity required thedevelopment of new and innovative techniques and face equipment. The goal of these developments is to compensate for the competitive disadvantage due to the great

8、depth of the German hardcoal deposits with the most modern technology and mining methods.Hard coal mining in Germany is based on a century-old tradition. Figure 1 shows the German hardcoal basins.Even 500 years ago only the out-crop of the coal seams was mined. Since the mid-i 9th century, the Indus

9、trial Revolution and the resulting need for energy promoted the recovery of the deposits and the extraction in ever-increasing depths. Since 1920 the average mining depth has increased from 330 m to 648 m in 1959 and lies today at 1,006 m （1997）. Some longwaU operations have reached depths of around

10、 1,450 m.Figure 1: German hardcoal basinsFigure 2: Sinking of the seam-bearing strata in the Ruhr-area in the northern directionAn additional problem is the increasing coverage of the remaining hardcoal deposits. Figure 2 shows the sinking of the seam-bearing strata in the Ruhr-area in the northern

11、direction.The new working areas and hardcoal mines, which open up the deposits in great depth, are attached without exception to the existing old coal mines. The main problem is to improve these existing mines, originally designed for much smaller working point capacity, to handle high performance l

12、ongwall operations and to transport the entire conveyance discharge through the old mine to the coal preparation plant.2 HIGH PERFORMANCE LONGWALL OPERATIONSIn Germany the term “high performance longwall operation” is not clearly defined. Usually we describe it as the longwall which extract a net am

13、ount of over 16,000 t high quality coal per day. That means 30,000 t run-of-mine coal per day. These operations can be roughly described by the following simple guidelines （1）. Net production （effective delivery）:Over 16,000 t high quality coal from great depths 1,000m Gross Production （total delive

The first measure was to optimize the development design and orientation of the new working areas and attached mines.2.1 Demands on the mine layoutThe great depth, in which the German hardcoal deposits lie, has a
