Part I Saving Energy

You save energy by improving the overall efficiency of the driven system. There are many energy wasters within a given system, but one component that should always be checked is the power input side or the electric motor.

The BE$T program concentrates on improving the power input of the system. BE$T calculates the estimated energy that can be saved by using Premium Efficient motors and drives where applicable. Payback periods for motor efficiency upgrades are calculated and motor replacement timetables are recommended.

Why is Motor Efficiency Important? - Wasted Energy $

10 Hp motor running at full load

Measured Power in - 8,025 Watts

Power out = 10 Hp x 746 = 7460 Watts

Efficiency = Power Out / Power In

Efficiency = 7460 / 8025 Efficiency = .930 or 93.0%

What is Higher Efficiency Worth? Even a

4.5 point efficiency gain is important.

40 HP Super-E with 94.5% efficiency compared to standard motor with 90% eff. Operating 50 weeks/year

BE$T Basic Motor Calculations

Annual Motor Operating Cost
To find the annual operating cost of one motor (HP * .746Watt/HP * %ML * Hours * /kWh) / Efficiency To find the annual operating cost difference between two motors (HP * .746Watt/HP * %ML * Hours * /kWh) / {1/(Enew Eold)}

%ML = percent motor load, Hours = annual operating hours, E = efficiency

Obtain Even More Energy Savings by Using Drives on Variable Torque Loads

Variable Torque Pump and Fan Loads use the Affinity Laws, the required HP is a cubic function of rpm.

In words, using an adjustable speed drive saves energy by?

Reducing the speed of a variable torque pump or fan significantly reduces the energy usage of the driving motor. The why can be summarized by a set of rules called the affinity rules. 1. Flow produced by the system is proportional to the motor speed. 2. Pressure produced by the system is proportional to the motor speed squared.

3. Horsepower required by the system is proportional to the motor speed cubed.

An Example: A adjustable speed drive (ASD) running a variable

torque load at 50% speed needs to deliver only 12.5% of the horsepower required to run it at 100 percent speed.

Not every driven system can benefit from using an Adjustable Speed Drive
A constant torque system would not use a drive to save energy, but may use one for convenience. If you have a variable torque system. Look at the typical operating points or load profile of the system throughout the day to see if the system could benefit from a drive. The load profile determines the amount of energy savings that is possible. Does the system require full power all the time? Does the load on the system vary throughout the day? The load profile can be set in the program.

How do I setup the Motor Management Options?

These options are found on the global settings menu. Several rules of thumb are employed to establish a formal policy for the repair and replacement of existing motors. These are the:

Policies are best established before a failure. Being prepared for and knowing what to do is a critical part of a Motor Management Plan.
