Most motors are designed to operate at a constant speed and provide a constant output;
however, modern technology requires different speeds in many applications where electric …

This paper analyses challenges and opportunities for improving energy efficiency in small
and medium enterprises (SMEs) by reviewing research design and results out of seven …

This paper presents a new approach to find energy-efficient motion plans for mobile robots.
Motion planning has two goals: finding the routes and determining the velocities. We model …

In the European Union (EU), variable-speed drives (VSDs) were identified as the motor
systems technology having the most significant electricity savings potential. In the EU, the …

In the late 19th century, the three-phase induction motor was the central element of
productivity increase in the second industrial revolution in Europe and the United States …

This paper shows how electricity is used by electric motors in both the industrial and the
services' sectors in the European Union, as well as the potential electricity savings by the …

Losses in an electric motor amount to between 4–24% of the total electrical power, and are
converted to heat. The maximum hot spot temperature is one of the design constraints of …

Based on a recent study carried out for the European Union (EU), this paper briefly
characterizes the motor electricity end-use consumption in the industrial and in the services …

Design aspects of the Transversally Laminated Anisotropic (TLA) Synchronous Reluctance
Motor (SynRM) are studied and the machine performance analysis compared to the …

Since the 1970s more efficient energy use in OECD countries has weakened or eliminated
the link between economic growth and energy use. At the global level just 37 percent of …
