11/20/2015 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to provide mines with information on advanced large-format energy storage and a comprehensive survey of the leading technologies and their likely failure modes.
-
11/1/2014 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA study that continues research into the potential for lithium and lithium-ion battery thermal runaway from an internal short circuit in equipment for use in underground coal mines.
-
9/18/2012 - Contracts and cooperative agreementsA contract to determine risk analysis techniques for assessing and mitigating basic types of possible stored energy sources for currently available communication, tracking, and atmospheric monitoring systems (AMS).
-
9/1/2007 - Conference papersResearchers with NIOSH studied the electrical equipment ignition sources for the Brookwood and other disasters to develop recommendations for preventing similar disasters.
-
1/1/2007 - Conference papersNFPA 70E is a generally accepted industry guideline document and can be applied to mining workplaces after an analysis of the mine power system electrical arcing hazards has been completed (and Hazard/Risk Categories determined).
-
9/1/2004 - Brochures/flyers/pamphletsA brochure about power line safety.
-
8/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesData show that 2,287 U.S. workers died and 32,807 workers sustained days away from work due to electrical shock or electrical burn injuries between 1992 and 1998. A primary causal factor was identified for each fatality.
-
9/1/2001 - Conference papersA report on research to develop a device that alerts workers when a power line has been contacted by equipment. The approach being investigated is based on measuring electric current flow to ground through a machine during a line contact.
-
1/1/1993 - Reports of InvestigationsThis article describes the development of adaptive learning networks (polynomial networks) to detect and quantify winding insulation leakage on electrical motor windings. This is part of a project to detect impending component failure in mine electrical...
