Energy regeneration
Energy Regeneration
The principal behind energy regeneration used in
electric vehicles is to change the function of the drive motor to a generator when the
velocity is reduced. The same principal is applied to the lift - when lowering the lift
motor is allowed to operate as a generator creating electricity and charging the battery.
This electrical system shows a number of advantages:
- • longer shift or multiple shift operation on a single charge
- • wear reduction on mechanical brake components - regeneration motor braking
- • lower energy consumption and associated charging costs
