UltraCap modules from Siemens for efficient energy storage in machines
The UltraCap
modules have a nominal voltage of 95 V and are typically connected in series in
order to attain the required voltage level. They are connected via a DC-DC
chopper or directly to the DC link of the Sinamics drive system. Multiple
series can be used in parallel in order to tailor performance and energy
content to the application in hand. The modules conform to CE and UL guidelines
in both series and parallel switching. The rack housing features lateral
ventilation slots and all connections are located on the front, enabling easy
and space-saving installation in the control cabinet. An integrated processor
monitors the ambient conditions and the state of the capacitor cells. The
values obtain can be called up via a bus interface, thus enabling continuous
monitoring.
Context: Smart Power Management from Siemens
The Smart Power Management (SPM) solution from
Siemens features energy storage with optimum power management for the Sinamics
drive system. SPM ensures machines continue to operate even with unreliable
grids, that peak loads are avoided and braking energy
utilized. This enables the availability and productivity of machinery to be
increased while reducing installation and energy costs and cutting CO2 emissions.
Smart Power Management is used in wood, glass and plastic processing, metal forming
technology, machine tools, handling and robotics. To meet varying user requirements, powerful electrolytic capacitors,
flywheel storage units or battery systems can be used in addition to the DLC
modules. To facilitate fast implementation, Siemens
analyzes the load profile and then offers advice on the selection and design of
a suitable storage device and on how to optimize the power flow.
