A supercapacitor-based energy-storage system for elevators with soft commutated interface
Open accessAbstract
Power variations and energy criteria have been the main motivations for developing regenerative drive converters for elevators. A better performing solution for power smoothing can be easily found by using a supercapacitor-based storage device, connected to the intermediary circuit of a variable-speed-drive system. In this paper, power and energy considerations are being accounted for in the design of the storage tank and regarding the maximum power demand from the feeding network. For the power-conversion circuit, which is necessary to compensate the voltage variations of the supercapacitors during charge and discharge, a high-efficiency converter, topology is proposed, which allows the bidirectional energy flow under soft-commutation conditions. Additionally it offers a good flexibility for the optimal sizing of the supercapacitor voltage level. The typical behavior of the special converter is given, together with an analysis of the advantages related to the specific application.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
