Regenerative Power on the Rise
Quote:
|
An expanding variety of machinery equipped with motors is tapping the advantages of regenerative power technology, from hybrid cars and power-assisted bicycles to elevators, trains, subways, streetcars and other rail transport; and industrial applications like machine tools, robots, manufacturing equipment, and construction cranes. The power generated when the brakes are applied to a motor is collected and reused, with the objective of improving the overall energy utilization efficiency of the machinery.
