Enhanced Elevator Energy Recovery System
Regen Drive
Achieve Your Net Zero Initiatives
Are you looking to protect the environment?
- We all know that elevator usage can be a huge energy drain. RegenMaster is a great way to improve energy efficiency, save money whilst also protecting the enviroment.
- Simply connects to the VF drive without any further impact on the existing elevator system.
- Your elevator will be more efficient.
- Improve your elevator energy classification.
- Reduced size dimensions, it can fit it almost any machine room or existing MRL headroom space.
Are you fed up with increasing energy costs?
- Reports suggest that. elevators and escalators accounts for about 2-5% of the total power consumption in most buildings. It is estimated that during peak operational times, this figure can go up to as high as 40%.
Powerful Energy Recovery
THE REGENMASTER recovers and stores the energy generated by the elevator which is then automatically returned during the next consumption trip or used to support the VF drive’s standby.
SUITABLE FOR NEW OR EXISTING ELEVATORS
Simple installation, just a two-wire connection to any VF drive. Completely independent from manufacturer, no interference with existing electronics.
SAVE ENERGY : SAVING UP TO 70%
Every elevator requires electricity, however sigificant saving can be made via energy recovery. Consumption and costs with both decrease.

RegenMaster vs. Traditional Regenerative Drives
The energy generated by an elevator with a traditional regenerative drive is returned to the grid however the RegenMaster system actually stores that energy and returns it to the elevator itself.
A traditional regenerative solution in an elevator with little traffic can even make the elevator consume more energy being regenerative than not being regenerative, this does not happen with RegenMaster.

Its All About Storage
SYSTEM WITHOUT REGENMASTER
When the elevator car goes down loaded, it weighs more than the counterweight so the car goes down by the effect of gravity and the elevator motor acts as a brake, generating energy. This energy dissipates in the form of waste heat via the brake resistors.
SYSTEM WITH REGENMASTER
With RegenMaster, the energy generated by lowering the loaded elevator car is captured, stored and reused automatically by the elevator to reduce overall consumption and electric bills. RegenMaster is capable of storing this energy to return it to the same elevator thus reducing the consumption in the next trip or, if there is no immediate trip, supplying the standby energy of the VF drive until the energy stored
Proven Storage Results
DO YOU WANT TO SAVE UP TO 70% OF YOUR ELEVATOR ENERGY?
- We store the braking energy generated by the motor and then return it to the elevator for future consumption.
- Energy saving of up to 70% can be achieved
INCREDIBLE 98% EFFICIENCY
- If the lift generates 10Wh in one trip, we manage to store 98%, i.e., 9.8Wh in the supercapacitors and when we return it, 98%
