摘要:
Power is managed in an elevator system including an elevator hoist motor (12), a primary power supply (20), and an electrical energy storage (EES) system (32). A power demand of the elevator hoist motor is determined, and a state-of-charge (SOC) of the EES system is determined. Power exchanged between the hoist motor, the primary power supply, and the EES system is controlled based on the power demand of the hoist motor and the SOC of the EES system.

A method of determining state-of-charge (SOC) of a battery includes changing the SOC of the battery over a portion of a full SOC range to assure operation defined by open circuit voltage (Voc) of the battery following a known Voc-SOC profile; determining a Voc value; and estimating SOC of the battery based upon the Voc value and the known Voc-SOC profile.
摘要:
Calibration of the state-of-charge (SOC) of a battery-based energy storage system used with a regenerative drive uses an SOC-open circuit voltage (V?oc#191) correlation. The battery is partially charged or discharged to assure operation defined by V?oc#191 following a known V?oc#191-SOC profile, such as a charge or discharge boundary curve. The partial charging/discharging may be synchronized with a traffic profile of an elevator system driven by the regenerative drive. A V?oc#191 measurement is made, and by enhancing the relaxation dynamics of V?oc#191 through regulating battery usage with a reference to traffic profile, a V?oc#191 is estimated more reliably. Using the estimate V?oc#191 and the known V?oc#191-SOC profile, state-of-charge of the battery is determined.

Power distribution is managed in an elevator system including an elevator hoist motor (12), a primary power supply (20), and—an energy storage system (32). A predicted usage pattern for the hoist motor is established based on past hoist motor power demand in the elevator system or in similar elevator systems in similar buildings. A target storage state for the energy storage system is then set based on the predicted usage pattern. Power exchanged between the hoist motor, the primary power supply, and the energy storage system is controlled to address power demand of the hoist motor and to maintain the storage state of the energy storage system at about the target storage state.
摘要:
Upon request from a power utility to reduce the electrical demand of a building, an elevator system is automatically disconnected from power being delivered by the power utility (or remains connected but receives limited power from the power utility), and a secondary power storage device is connected to the power bus of the elevator system. The secondary power storage device provides power to the elevator system during a period in which the request to reduce electrical load of the building is in effect. When the request end, the elevator system is automatically reconnected to the power delivered by the power utility and can potentially work in a hybrid mode.

摘要:
A system (10) manages power from a secondary power (30) source to supply power to elevator and building systems (18) after failure of a primary power source (20). An available power monitor provides a measure or estimate (such as state-of-charge) of the power available from the secondary power source. A demand monitoring system (46) generates a signal related to passenger demand for each elevator in the elevator system. A controller (34) then prioritizes allocation of power from the secondary power source to the elevator and building systems based on the available power from the secondary power source and the passenger demand in the elevator system.
摘要:
Heat in a drive system including a motor and a drive is removed using heat pipes in heat exchanging contact with the motor and the drive. The heat conducting element have at least one portion for receiving heat from the motor or the drive, and another portion to transfer heat to a heat exchange device that is spaced from the motor and drive. The heat conducting element may be a heat pipe or a heat spreader element.
