ABSTRACT

In today’s power scenario, there is a challenge of meeting the demand of electricity. The gap between the demand and supply of electric energy is widening at the rate of 3 to 4% in India. The demand of electricity in India is increasing at the rate of 8 to 10% every year. As motors are the largest users of electrical energy, even small efficiency improvements can save large energy across the country. To reduce the operating cost and maintain a sustainable environment, one has to reduce the wastage of energy. This paper deals with energy conservation by using energy efficient motors (EEMs) instead of standard efficiency motors. Design improvements in the standard efficiency motors to make them energy efficient are discussed. Due to simple and robust construction, economics and good performance, the 3-ϕ cage IMs is the heart any Industry. Analysis is done for various case studies in which EEM is compared with normal efficiency motors. The energy savings and payback periods by selecting EEM instead of standard efficiency motors are presented.
