UltraCaps can store and release (braking) energy e.g. from cranes/bridges. Netcongestion complicates expansion/sustainability in dynamic movements.
Grid congestion complicates energy supply in industrial, infrastructure, warehousing, and building environments. The combination of UltraCaps and Siemens Smart Power Management ensures the right amount of energy is available at the right time and place. UltraCaps can temporarily store braking energy from descending bridges, elevators, and cranes, then release it for the energy-intensive upward movement. This scalable solution provides peak power locally, allowing dynamic systems to operate with minimal downtime without heavier power connections, while keeping the grid stable. Additionally, UltraCaps act as local buffers, preventing quality issues caused by grid disturbances. For example, CNC milling machines are highly sensitive to disruptions, directly impacting product quality. As a Siemens Drives & Motion Partner, VSE Industrial Automation integrates UltraCaps into control systems and calculates exact power needs for uninterrupted operation, peak power reduction, and energy reuse.
