Modeling and Simulation of Elevator as Energy Saving System Based on Isolation Bidirectional DC/DC Converter

Abstract

To solve the problem as influence of feedback elevator energy saving device on power quality and high cost of ultracapacitor storage elevator energy saving device, isolation bidirectional DC/DC converter is used. By analysis and modeling of isolation bidirectional DC/DC converter with small signal analysis method, double loop PI control strategy is introduced. The technical difficulty that high transformation ratio transform of DC bus voltage to ultracapacitor voltage is overcome. Cost of elevator energy saving device is reduced at the same time when storage and reuse of elevator feedback energy are realized. Based on the advantage of high current discharge, high current provided by ultracapacitor reduces impact on power grid when elevator starts. The effectiveness and feasibility of the control method is proved through MATLAB/Simulink simulation.
