Energy management
solutions for industrial applications
Epic power Supercapacitor Converter (ESC) are a family of products based on the epic power non-isolated converter family combined with a custom designed supercapacitor module of 60 kJ
The DC/DC converter is responsible for the power flow to and from the supercapacitor module while the module acts as a high-cycle energy buffer. Depending on the targeted industrial application different firmware can be implemented in the converter. Each configuration leads to a different industrial product:
- Energy recovery (ERS): ESC-60kJ-ERS
- Peak Shaving (PKS): ESC-60kJ-PKS
- Electronic counterweight (ECW): ESC-60kJ-ECW
- Fast Emergency Supply for drives (FES): ESC-60kJ-FES
Working with supercapacitors
Benefits

Requirements
![Current vs Voltage Variation: Discharge at constant power](https://epicpowerconverters.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image.png)
Supercapacitors provide high peak power with very low energy. DC converters must be able to work with a wide voltage range.
Operation and connections
- Connection to DC link of drive
- Valid for any 230/400 Vac drive
- Automatic operation for ERS and FES
- Bidirectional to charge from mains
- Different uses for drives
- Energy Saving
- Peak cut
- Electronic Counterweight
- Fast emergency supply

ERS
Energy Recovery System
with supercapacitors
a braking energy recovery system, fully compatible with any regenerative application
contact us- Automatically detects when there is generation and absorbs it before the braking resistor does.
- Returns the energy stored in consumption trips or standby.

PKS
Peak shaving
with supercapacitor
avoid peak power consumption from the grid using energy storage based on supercapacitor
contact us- Discharge enabled by external controller when peak cut is required.
- Automatically charges the supercapacitors from mains and braking energy.
