ESC Series – epic power Supercapacitor Converter
Epic Supercapacitor Converter 060kJ Energy Recovery System
The ESC-60kJ-ERS includes the energy recovery firmware that configures a very simple plug-and-play solution for applications with many cycles of consumption and generation. Typically, industrial elevators, overhead crane and conveyors can widely benefit from the use of an energy recovery system.
Connections and operation
The unit is connected to the DC bus of the traction drive and automatically detects when there is generation and consumption to reduce the total energy bill of the installation. The energy is saved inside the supercapacitors and then re-used in the next consumption trip without coming back to the mains to make the machine more efficient.

Case studies
A hybrid powered solution for cranes achieve reductions in fuel consumption, size of generator and braking resistor bank. Energy stored is used by a DC/DC converter to counterweight the power requirements and save the braking energy.
Electronic counterweight and peak shaving can be provided by a bidirectional DC/DC converter-based solution working with batteries and/or supercapacitors.
AGVs & shuttles (supercapacitor powered)
Bidirectional DC/DC converters applied to shuttles allow energy consumption from supercapacitors and charge from the grid with only one component. Electrified monorails become unnecessary in warehouses.
Logistics – AGVs (battery powered)
Reduction in size, cost and weight in battery powered industrial vehicles through DC/DC converters. DC motors are removed in favour of AC more standard and smaller solutions.
The use of less power from the grid or the reduction of the overall energy consumption can be achieved with battery and/or supercapacitor powered DC/DC converter-based solutions.
Combine a traditional fuel generator with a battery- powered system based on DC/DC to make a hybrid boat. Charge your batteries from the wind and move the boat freely without the need for it in the harbour.
Off-grid solar panel powered solution to feed hydrogen fuel cells through isolated DC/DC converters. Each converter provides MPPT per solar string to achieve highest efficiency.
Flexible solution for grid-connected hydrogen fuel cells through isolated DC/DC converters. High efficiency, robustness and easy parallelization for infinite combinations of power requirements.
