  text: This paper introduces an efficient modular solution kit for intralogistic
    drives, which reduces the total energy consumption of all drives in an automated
    warehouse by more than 15%. The reduction of energy consumption results from the
    interaction of optimized components (motors, control techniques and regeneration
    units), which are described in detail in this paper. Different motor concepts
    like the induction motor, the synchronous reluctance motor and the permanent magnet
    synchronous machine are compared according to the special requirements for intralogistics
    applications. Different control techniques are presented in order to achieve sensorless
    and efficient-optimal operation of these motors. The sensorless control technique
    uses signal injection to detect the rotor position sufficiently exact also in
    case of speed near standstill. Efficient-optimal operation is achieved by reducing
    the motor current with regard to the torque (MTPA-control). Furthermore this paper
    introduces a regeneration unit that can be connected between the DC link of frequency
    inverters and the mains to feed back regenerative energy. The regeneration unit
    consisting of a buck converter, a synchronous inverter and a line-filter can work
    in parallel to commonly used uncontrolled rectifiers. Its functioning is shown
    with the help of measurement results of a 1kW laboratory prototype. The last section
    shows a demonstrator in which a conventional conveyer system (with induction motor
    and braking resistor) is compared with an optimized one using the presented components.
    Power versus time measurements show specific energy savings resulting from the
    interaction of the optimized components.
