Summary
About 70% of electricity used in industry is consumed by electric motors. The introduction of energy efficient motors allows significant energy savings and operating cost reduction in most industrial sectors. A studie on m arket potential of high efficiency electric motors and comments from industrial companies, researchers, motor manufacturers, experts and consultants resulted in a country report for Finland.
Guidelines on high efficiency electric motors' procurement were produced by studying 10 industrial companies. The guidelines include a recommendation document and a background report including short term national drives - potential, calculation formulas, examples, results and graphs. An abstract of the report in English was also produced. The procurement guidelines (report and recommendations) can be obtained from Motiva's website: www.motiva.fi.
Finnish motor manufacturer ABB Motors now uses EFF1 high efficiency electric motors as part of their marketing and promotional activities.
These activities were part of an OPET CHP/DH project -Work Package on Energy Efficiency in Industry. Project participants include: Motiva, IJS of Slovenia (Project leader), and ADENE of Portugal.
This case study is one of 31 Good Practice Case Studies published by the OPET Network in 2005
