Abstract :
This paper illustrates the induced enormous energy saving potential, permitted by using adjustable speed drives and high-efficiency motors. Furthermore, the most important barriers to larger high-efficiency motors & adjustable speed drives utilization are identified, and some incentives recommendations are given to overcome identified impediments. The authors consider that there is a strong case not only for putting in place obligatory level standards for the energy efficiency of electric motors and drives, but enhance incentives policies for larger market penetration.
