Application example

The goods are lifted or lowered automatically between two transportation levels at a lifting station.

Implementation:

Power and Energy Solutions, MOVIDRIVE® modular is used in power mode.

Result:

  • The peak power output during upward acceleration has been reduced by a factor of 15.
  • Energy costs have been reduced to 60% of those incurred while operating with a braking resistor.
  • In the event of a power failure, the downward movement is completed using the energy in the storage capacitor. The upward movement is brought to a halt in a controlled manner, at which point the brake is applied.
  • The power and energy modules provide the ISO 50001 energy management system with measured values that both visualize system consumption and use comparisons and reference cycles to identify deviations indicative of wear or stiffness.
