Hybrid Energy Storage Solutions for Industrial Lifting Equipment
Intercal8 provides hybrid energy storage solutions that enhance the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of industrial lifting equipment, including cranes, lifts, reach stackers, mobile and stationary gantry lifting systems, top lifters, and forklifts. By integrating internal combustion engines such as diesel or propane with battery energy storage, our solutions optimize power delivery, reduce fuel consumption, and capture regenerative energy—maximizing performance while lowering operating costs.
HOW IT WORKS?
Optimized Power Generation & Load Response
The internal combustion engine operates at its highest efficiency, providing a steady power source for lifting operations. The battery energy storage system (BESS) supplies fast-response power for peak loads, reducing stress on the internal combustion engine and improving overall fuel efficiency. During low-demand periods, excess internal combustion engine power is used to charge the battery, optimizing energy use.
Regenerative Energy Capture
Industrial lifting equipment naturally generates energy when lowering heavy loads. Instead of dissipating this energy as heat, our hybrid system captures and stores it in the battery. The stored energy can be used for lifting operations, powering auxiliary equipment, or reducing overall energy demand from the internal combustion engine.
Fuel Savings & Emission Reduction
Hybridization significantly reduces reliance on internal combustion power, cutting fuel consumption and operational costs. By lowering emissions, this solution helps meet sustainability goals and regulatory requirements while maintaining high-performance lifting operations.
Extended Equipment Lifespan & Reduced Maintenance
Peak power demands are managed by the battery storage system, reducing wear and tear on the internal combustion engine. The system ensures smoother power transitions and lower mechanical and electrical stress, extending the lifespan of industrial lifting equipment and minimizing maintenance costs.
Grid Independence & Energy Flexibility
The hybrid system optimizes energy use, reducing dependence on external power sources. It seamlessly integrates with shore power, renewable energy, or microgrid infrastructure, providing adaptability for various industrial applications.
