Elevator energy saving and storage solution

Many standard elevators run older AC models and contactors that operate at full power regardless of actual demand, creating significant energy waste during every trip. The transformation begins with modern, gearless permanent magnet motors paired with Variable frequency Drives. Skeleton's supercapacitors power ElevatorKERS, a module that captures the energy created by electric traction elevators while an elevator car travels down the shaft and re-uses the energy to lift it. The ElevatorKERS is a simple, efficient, and maintenance-free way to cut down the energy. This blog post talks about how we can use elevators as energy storage systems, helping to manage a building’s power better.
