There is provided an energy management system for managing a current flow in a machine having a lift element being vertically movable by a motor assembly. The energy management system includes a power supplying bus for supplying the motor assembly, a battery source, an energy storage device and an associated controller, and a main controller for controlling the energy-storage-device controller and thus the powering of the motor assembly, while factoring a height and a movement of the lift element. The system generally seeks to manage the energy flow between the battery, motors and supercapacitors so as to maintain the battery current as low as possible by controlling the motor's speed, to maintain the battery power demand constant over time, and to store the regenerated energy into supercapacitors in order to avoid recharging the battery during operation, as well as to maintain the supercapacitors energy level as high as possible. |
