Energy consumption and energy efficiency improvement of overhead crane
The investigation focuses on analyzing the energy consumption of the overhead crane in relation both to the traveled distance and also for the lifting and lowering heights of a suspended payload.
6 FAQs about [Reason for crane lowering to store energy]
How much energy does a crane use?
According to statistics, the number of cranes has reached 2,104,400 units, and its energy consumption is huge regardless of which source we use such as oil and electricity.
What happens if a crane is switched off?
In the case the crane is switched off the motors' speeds are zero, the switches are turned off and the DC bus voltage is under 570 V. Finally when the crane is in idle mode the motors' speeds are zero but the switches are turned on. Table 3. Crane modes and their description.
How many tonnes of CO2 can a crane save?
With each litre of diesel fuel that is consumed, 2.5 kg CO 2 emissions are associated; Hence savings of 32,600 L will result in savings of 81 tonnes of CO 2 per crane per year. Since Port of Felixstowe has a fleet of about 100 RTG cranes the total savings across the Port could be as high as 8100 tonnes. 9. Conclusions
What data has been collected from the crane plc during operations?
As explained in Section 4.1, data has been collected from the crane PLC during operations. Among the information available, it was possible to also measure container weight, time interval between lifts, duration of lifts, energy demand and other crane activity parameters.
Why is lifting machinery important for energy-saving production?
Lifting machinery is an indispensable key equipment in the production of metallurgy, shipbuilding, electric power, transportation, petrochemical and other industries. Reasonable evaluation of its energy consumption status is of great significance for guiding energy-saving production of lifting machinery.
How does a crane spreader work?
The upwards and downwards movement of the spreader is accomplished by rotating of the main drum coupled to the hoist motor. This is called “hoist movement”; The “gantry movement” is defined as the motion of the whole crane along the container stack using the four sets of rubber wheels. Fig. 1. RTG crane in operation at the Port of Felixstowe.
