Regenerative braking systems

 

What is regenerative braking?

Regenerative braking systems reclaim the energy generated from the overhauling motor and supply it back to the three-phase AC power system so it can be used elsewhere in the building. This includes powering PCs, air conditioning or other electrical systems on site that draw their power from the wider energy network.

These regen braking systems are usually wired in parallel with the adjustable frequency drive either as part of a new control system or as a retrofit to an existing AC drive. Standby consumption is minimal and, in every application, will meet, for example, the BREEAM credit criteria for producing an energy saving greater than the standby energy used.
