Dale Power Solutions is proud to introduce the innovative Generative Load Management (GLM) feature in our latest Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems for lift and motor applications. This patented technology addresses the challenges posed by regenerative energy in modern electrical systems, ensuring enhanced efficiency and protection for critical applications.
In various industrial and commercial settings, equipment such as elevators, cranes, and computerised numerical control (CNC) machines utilise electric motors that can generate energy during deceleration or braking phases. This regenerative energy, if not properly managed, can lead to overvoltage conditions in traditional UPS systems, potentially causing system failures or damage.
Graph demonstrating the GLM function
The GLM feature in our Ablerex UPS systems effectively manages this regenerative energy by:
Reusing Energy: Up to 90% of the energy produced by regenerative loads is reused, either by supplying it to other parallel loads or by charging the UPS batteries.
Preventing Oversizing: Eliminates the need to oversize UPS power or battery capacity, as the system efficiently handles energy feedback without compromising performance.
Maintaining Continuity: Ensures a continuous power supply to protected loads, even in the presence of regenerative energy, by avoiding unnecessary transfers to bypass modes.
The integration of GLM into Ablerex UPS systems offers several technical benefits:
Bidirectional Converters: The UPS features robust hardware with bidirectional converters, ensuring durability and efficient energy management.
Eco-Friendly Operation: By reusing regenerative energy, the system reduces overall energy consumption, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Optimised Footprint: The design minimises the impact on generators and avoids the need for over dimensioning, leading to space and cost savings.
High Overload Capacity: The system can handle up to 300% load for 3 seconds, ensuring reliability during peak demand periods.
Motor/Lift UPS (Kronos 10-40kVA)
The GLM feature is particularly beneficial in applications where regenerative energy is prevalent:
Elevators and Lifts: Especially those used for emergency evacuation and firefighting, where uninterrupted power is critical.
Industrial Machinery: Including CNC machines and cranes, which frequently generate regenerative energy during operations.
Medical Equipment: Such as CT scanners, where consistent power supply is essential for patient safety and equipment functionality.
Radar and Communication Systems: Where power stability is crucial for accurate data transmission and reception.
The incorporation of Generative Load Management in UPS systems represents a significant advancement in power management technology. By effectively handling regenerative energy, these systems ensure enhanced efficiency, reduced operational costs, and improved protection for critical applications.
