A look at the future: AC hybrid tech demo with electrified superstructure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The future is electric \u2013 we are sure of it, which is why we have already developed a forward-looking tech demo with an electrified superstructure. With this innovative technology platform, we\u2019re showing how Tadano is already laying the foundation for using all options for carbon-neutral crane operation in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development goal 1: Excellent suitability for real-life use<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the special thing about the Tadano hybrid tech demo: The crane is fully functional and completely self-sufficient under all operating conditions thanks to a flexible power supply concept. More specifically, the electric superstructure can run on any of the following three options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The integrated battery
_ An external power connection
– A generator on the diesel engine that delivers power for the electric motor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also worth mentioning: The electrified superstructure design makes it possible to use both 32 A and 63 A connectors when using external power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional advantages: The electric motor\u2019s working speed and delivered lifting capacity are exactly at the same level as those of a diesel engine, not to mention that its sound emissions are much lower under all lifting conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development goal 2: Competitive benefit\u2013cost ratio<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tech demo achieves a system efficiency of around 85 percent, which is more than double the energy efficiency of an efficient diesel engine. This results in the tech demo having a significantly better carbon footprint, including a CO2<\/sub> reduction of up to an average of 50 percent when compared to diesel-operated superstructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tech demo also comes with advantages in regard to operating costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– The battery and electric motor require much less maintenance than diesel engines with their complex exhaust systems
– The scope of maintenance and servicing training required for electrified superstructures is therefore relatively small
– The crane is controlled the same way as with conventional drives, meaning that no special training is required for this purpose<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that even though acquisition costs are higher than for a comparable conventional crane, the difference is compensated for over the crane\u2019s lifecycle due to its lower operating costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development goal 3: Heavy-duty and durable battery technology<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The battery used also contributes to a positive net result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– It will still have around 80% of its original rated capacity after 3,000 full charging cycles
– It is impervious to dusty environments and low temperatures<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At extremely low temperatures, a thermal management system preheats the battery and continuously keeps it within the ideal temperature range<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>
