Energy-efficient

drive technology

Optimal energy management for a “green footprint” of your

machines with KeDrive D3 Smart DC Systems

The energy transition and rising energy prices demand sustainable and efficient

solutions for machines and systems. 70 % of the energy in factory automation is

consumed by electric drives—a significant savings potential with regard to operation

and installation cost.

As a machine manufacturer or plant operator, what is your

mission and what are your challenges?

We work together with you to develop smart and efficient solutions.

Active power supply units

• Energy recovery feeds regenerative energy into the AC grid

• Controlled DC link voltage for best drive utilization and

mains independence

• Limitation of the mains input power

Controlled energy storage systems

• Temporary storage for regenerative energy

• Peak power reduction through “peak shaving”

• Bridging of mains failures (short time UPS for DC link)

• Reduced harmonic distortion (THD) due to sinusoidal mains currents
