Regenerative Power Compensator "SANUPS K23A"Saving Energy for Conveyor Systems

Sanyo Denki Co., Ltd. has developed the Regenerative Power Compensator "SANUPS K23A" that helps reduce the power consumption of conveyor systems used in multi-level parking garages and other facilities.
When a motor used in a conveyor system slows down, electric energy called regenerative power is generated. This energy is stored in an electric double-layer capacitor and reused as the driving force. Thus energy for conveyor systems can be saved.

Features

1. Saving Energy

When a motor used in the conveyor system of a multi-level parking garage or other facility slows down, electric energy is generated. This energy is called regenerative power, which is usually wasted as it is consumed as heat. The SANUPS K23A stores this energy in an electric double-layer capacitor and reuses it as the driving force (see fig. 1 and 2). Thus energy for conveyor systems can be saved.

2. Displaying Energy-saving Effects on Monitor

The amount of reused regenerative power and remaining amount of stored energy can be displayed on the monitor. Thus energy-saving effects can be viewed easily and remotely.
