Description
Electric Vehicle (EV) & elevation systems industries are constantly searching for new solutions to achieve lower energy consumption for their appliances and reduce operational costs. A novel mechanism will be developed to accumulate electric energy generated during the braking phase of electrical engines and use that energy to reduce consumption during starting phase. The objective of the project is to increase the application of environmental technologies by the incorporation of highly efficient components in future EV models and in existing and new elevation systems. The main outcome is a system able to store electricity at many different paces with voltage and current rapidly varying at the input and the output of the system. To achieve this goal several of the internal components of the system shall be explicitly developed for this application, which include energy storage components and the sophisticated adaptive algorithms to control the function of the system. The benefits of the project may have a societal and environmental impact since it is aimed at energy efficiency and cost reduction regarding widespread systems such as EVs and elevation systems.
Summary of project results
There is a big need in reducing the energy consumption and maintenance costs in elevators and automotive. The objective was to develop a system to store and manage electric energy in a very efficient way allowing the recovery of the braking electric energy and fast starts in applications such as the elevators or electric cars. At the end of the project this objective has been got. The impact is a new product to reduce the energy consumption in in elevators and automotive and CO2 emissions. The outcome has been to get a system to store and manage electric energy in a very efficient way allowing the recovery of the braking electric energy and fast starts to use in elevators and electric cars. The main output delivered have been specifications of the system to develop, components list, a prototype of storage system with communications with other users and a characterized system prototype.
