Elevator Regenerative Drives - R6 Line Regen from KEB America

The KEB video demonstrates how a counterweighted traction elevator can regenerate energy back to the building supply. Also, how that energy can be recaptured using KEB's R6 Line Regen.
A building owner can save money by investing in the R6 Regen technology. The savings come from decreased energy consumption by the elevators and reduced cooling expenses. The ROI is often less than 2 years after installation.

Can we regenerate the power using lift?

[@KEBAmerica]

Are you referring to "lift" as in elevator? This is an example of using an elevator using a regen drive to regenerate energy back to the building power grid. As described in the video, a loaded car going down and an empty car going up will both generate excess energy. When an application uses gravity to move instead of the power of the motor the regen unit can use this movement to regenerate energy back to the grid.
Let me know if this helps. Thanks for the question!

Thanks for your valuable reply.

@@KEBAmerica Hi. i need an explanation if you can. when elevator regenerates energy - it goes back to the building. But do you need an accumulator for collecting that energy? or the energy from that regeneration simply flows back to the electrical network? then can it produce reactive energy (kvarh) which considered efficency loses and you have to pay for it? I just want to understand where the regenerated energy goes

@@maksim82tallin I will ask one of our application engineers to see if there is a simple answer to your questions. If you want an answer for a specific application you're working on then you should contact a local KEB Representative near you: www.keb.co.uk/contact/contact-worldwide

@@maksim82tallin Ok. Hope this answers your questions: "The energy from the R6 units is meant to be reused within the building. So it reduces your net energy consumption but doesn't actually make it go negative. If you wanted net negative energy and actually put energy back out onto the grid, you would need to use an AFE unit."
