The invention relates to a roller conveyor and a method for operating same, said conveyor comprising an electrical power supply system (67, 73) and a plurality of conveyor rollers (5, 6). At least one of the conveyor rollers (5) comprises a roller element and an electrical machine arranged inside said roller element. The electrical machine of the conveyor roller (5) is supplied with electrical power by the electrical power supply system (67, 73) and produces electrical power inside said conveyor roller in the manner of a generator during the deceleration phase when a conveyed item (83) is braked. The electrical power generated by the electrical machine is fed from the conveyor roller (5) into the power supply system (67, 73) via a power supply line (74). |
