Abstract

The industrial sector is the largest consumer of produced electric energy worldwide. Electric motor systems account for about 70 percent of the total industrial electricity demand and possess a great cost and energy saving potential. The paper provides an overview of global and regional efforts to create awareness for potential cost drivers in the industry. Various software and excel-based tools for a preliminary estimation of the energy consumption of electric motor systems are available in the market, but a holistic approach is missing. Therefore a framework and a systematic process for the estimation of potential energy savings in motor systems running on alternating current are illustrated in this paper. Moreover a new software tool is discussed, that allows a holistic view on all motor systems within a company without cost-intensive measurements or the use of external consultants.
