HIGH PERFORMANCE DESIGN FOR SMART POWER MANAGEMENT

The Moog DE2020 energy management module improves the efficiency

of any machine and allows for a leaner and more cost-effective electrical

layout. During the regular load phase, a capacitor bank is pre-charged

carefully and a certain remaining capacity is retained.

The DE2020 meets peak loads by drawing energy from the capacitor

bank, while using the energy gains from braking processes and mechanical

inertia to recharge the capacitors by means of recuperation. 

Thus, the capacitors are ready for the next peak load. This helps increase

overall energy savings and, more importantly, allows for an overall smarter

electrical design of the machine.

Advantages

Among other advantages, there is a significant reduction in the dimensions

of the electrical panel (reduced by 50% compared to non-optimized systems)

and of the cable sections necessary to allow the currents to flow

(with consequent savings in wiring costs).

Furthermore, this system can also be used to compensate for fluctuations 

of the mains, using a pre-filter in combination with the capacitor bank, reducing

the risk of electrical malfunctions, while simultaneously increasing safety in the

event of a power failure, as it can supply the system with enough energy to

reach a safe-stop position.
