Abstract

In industry the electricity use for electric motor systems amounts to 70% and the associated economically feasible savings total from 20% up to 30%. Motor systems cover pumps, fans, compressors and industrial production systems, including motor, drive, transmission and driven application.

However implementation appears not to be a ‘done case’. Many different aspects play a role in this, i.e. in the supply chain itself, and in the way industrial organizations work in respect to analyzing and implementing energy efficiency measures.

Representatives of the Dutch supply chain of motor systems and the government have joined forces in starting a Green Deal Program on efficient motor systems in Dutch Industry. Key aspects of this program are three fold. 1) Developing a standard method for the analysis of opportunities for efficiency improvements in motor systems. 2) Developing sound business cases on efficient motor systems, delivering concrete energy savings. 3) Knowledge transfer and communication to end users and the supply chain to create leverage in terms of working methods, capacities and energy savings. The program runs from 2012 up to 2015. At the moment of writing 12 projects have been initiated and are in different phases of execution. At the time of presenting more specific information over the results and lessons learned (so far) will be available.

A quick dodge will be made to the contribution of three other Dutch initiatives on energy efficiency. These are the VA-program (voluntary agreements), where energy management forms a strong supporting element; the motor technology network (or bridge), helping to identify the needs and opportunities for the supply chain of motor systems, with an emphasis on knowledge and capacity building; and the international implementation program EMSA, as part of IEA task 4E, developing and bringing experience, standardization (on IEC and ISO level) and tools to the participating parties.
