Motor system electricity consumption and conservation potential in the manufacturing sector
Conference

OSTI ID:54731
Motors account for about 70 percent of the electricity consumer in the manufacturing sector. A recent study by ACEEE estimates 18-49 percent of this energy could be saved through improved motor management practices and orderly change-out of equipment at time of equipment failure, modernization or new construction. This savings is realized from both the motor-drive system and from more efficient motor driven equipment. The specific opportunities will vary by industry because of different end-use Profiles. Pumps, fans and compressors represent the greatest opportunity for efficiency improvements in motor-driven equipment.
