  • Patent number: 11505215
    Abstract: A system and method to ensure a sufficient amount of electrical energy is supplied to a cable-drawn vehicle of a transportation device. Electrical loads of the vehicle are supplied with power outside a station by an electrical energy store of the vehicle or by both an electrical energy store and the generator during a first movement phase, in which the vehicle is accelerated to a limit speed or, conversely, decelerated from a limit speed into a station. In a subsequent second movement phase, the vehicle is supplied with electrical energy by the generator while the vehicle moves at a speed that is greater than the limit speed.
