Einsatz von Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen im elektrischen Antriebsstrang von Kranen

Abstract

Due to increased interest of the industry in sustainable topics and, amongst others, tightening of the legal framework, the analysis of energy balances has an increasing significance nowadays. In this paper, the energy demands in electric drives of various lifting equipment types are analyzed and evaluated under different conditions. Various types of costs in terms of acquisition and operating costs are also considered. The aim of the study is to set recommendations for operators and manufacturers of lifting equipment regarding the application of energy efficiency measures.
