In a time where energy prices are high and production flexibility is becoming increasingly important, PES offers an innovative way to drastically reduce energy peaks, lower costs, and increase machine availability.
It is the goal of any company to increase its energy efficiency and take appropriate measures to reduce the energy consumption of its automation systems without affecting the high degree of availability of processes, production, and machine cells. Ideally, intelligent management of power supply output and energy will increase the availability of systems and machines.
• Peak shaving: Reduce peak loads on the grid by using intelligent storage capacitors in the DC link. This leads to significant cost savings in cabling, power components, and cabinet space.
• Re‑use of braking energy: Energy that would otherwise be lost in braking resistors is stored and reused, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced heat generation.
• Reliable operation during power failures: The energy storage acts as a kind of UPS, allowing machines to safely complete their cycle—no crashes, no product loss.
• Perfect for dynamic applications such as lifting stations, shuttles, warehouse automation, mobile systems, and even amusement rides.
• Support for ISO 50001 energy management thanks to integrated energy and performance measurement.
A more consistent load on the power grid, lower energy consumption, reduced installation costs, and a much faster ROI.
