Potentials and Impacts of Motor System Energy Efficiency Programmes
There is large potential for energy savings associated with motor systems. However, achievement of these potential savings is slow. This paper studies the areas where potential savings lie, and compares this with the areas targeted by motor system energy efficiency programs. It appears that programs tend to be aimed at areas with relatively little potential but high impact, where impact is potential multiplied by penetration (or uptake). MEPS programs, for example, have high impact due to a near 100％ penetration, but their overall savings potential is small, especially in the case of larger motors. Programs in areas with greater potential would often find it difficult to achieve a significant penetration, due partly to the distributed nature of motor systems, and partly due to the scarcity of technical expertise at critical times. In designing any energy efficiency program to address areas with high potential but currently with low impact, a number of barriers need to be addressed. One is the scarcity of deep understanding of the reaction between motor system technology and user requirements. There may also be failings in programme design, with a tendency to think of motor systems in the same terms of other products that are the subjects of energy efficiency programs. Different approaches are suggested for energy efficiency programs to address the different areas of potential savings.
