on the image below to see an animation that graphically shows how
Eco-Elevators used in conjunction with wind turbines and solar panels
can both generate and regenerate power to create a truly Green building.
Look for when the
elevators are sharing power as well - this occurs when one elevator is
descending (creating power) while another is ascending (requiring
power). You'll notice that the Common DC Bus is always some
color
of red - that's because it gets precharged to 720V. This is
part
of the secret behind the system, anything that is generated by the
systems on the left (wind, elevators or solar) creates excess voltage
on the DC bus which must be filtered, inverted and then sent down the
line to the Input/Output Supply or the grid.
