  • Advancing industrial inverters: the research roadmap for Wide Bandgap Power Semiconductors Andrea Vezzini will present during a webinar at the Motors Academy on 21 November 2024 the development of a comprehensive “White Book on Wide Bandgap Semiconductor-Based Industrial Inverters.” As part of the IEA 4E EMSA Electric Motor Systems Platform, Switzerland is leading this project in close cooperation with the IEA 4E PECTA Power Electronic Conversion Platform. The planned White Book will delve deep into the use of wide bandgap semiconductors in industrial drives, such as SiC (Silicon Carbide) and GaN (Gallium Nitride). It will offer an in-depth exploration of the theoretical foundations, technological advancements, and practical applications of Wide Bandgap semiconductors, specifically within the context of industrial automation. It will as well address the opportunities and challenges these technologies present, providing a forward-looking perspective on their future impact. For the upcoming White Book, an in-depth roadmap has been developed, showing the relevant challenges and the issues to be elaborated, in particular research activities for a well-founded knowledge-base. The targeted White Book is designed to be an invaluable tool for a broad audience, including professionals and engineers, manufacturers and suppliers, policymakers, regulatory bodies, standardisation organisations, and industry consortia, involved in power electronics and industrial automation. After the presentation, you will have the opportunity to interact with the speaker during the Q&A session.

  • On Tuesday 5 November 2024, EMSA presented during a Motors Academy webinar an overview of relevant international standards for electric motor systems as well as the worldwide status of Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for electric motors, Variable Speed Drives, pumps, fans and air compressors. The presentation also discussed recent developments and future aspects of MEPS and other policies. Key takeaways: - Standards serve as building blocks for regulations. - Coordination & alignment of standards dedicated to parts of the motor system is happening under the umbrella of the ISO/IEC JAG 22. - MEPS for motors evolve and expand in scope, stringency and coverage worldwide. Today 55 countries have MEPS in place, 46 of which at IE3 level. While there are still blank spots on the map, countries with MEPS represent around 80% of global electricity use by motors. - MEPS for pumps, fans, air compressors are in place in a few main economic regions; they evolve from regulating the component to regulating the complete unit (motor+drive+application). - MEPS covering induction motors are reaching a point of diminishing returns. The important question for the future is, how to harvest system savings, thus which metrics to use, where to draw the system boundary, weighing benefits and costs of new/additional requirements. - While MEPS address newly sold equipment, other supporting policies are needed to address the installed base, such as awareness raising, capacity building, financial incentives.   See webinar video & presentation: https://lnkd.in/g-2YyivC The Motors Academy webinar series aims to provide valuable insights and updates on the policy, market, and technological aspects of industrial motors and e-mobility drivetrains.

  • EMSA just published a world map showing Minimum Energy Performance Standards for electric motors in effect globally. The map reflects currently applicable IE levels in a country as well as requirements that are already adopted and will be applicable in the future. In addition, a summary table shows requirements in countries by IE level. Both the map and the table are available for download. Any comments or questions to the map & table can be sent to emsa@iea-4e.org. See map & table: https://lnkd.in/dUHnA8Pw #meps #electricmotors #VSD #IE1 #IE2 #IE3 #IE4

    Recording and slides now available: https://lnkd.in/dnQRejCV What we have learnt: 1️⃣ The tool models the entire #motorsystem, from power supply to application, calculating all partial efficiencies and total system efficiency from a single known duty point. 2️⃣ The tool dynamically calculates changes in #speed, #load, or components, providing instant results. 3️⃣ Standardised models are included for #pumps, #fans, hydraulic pumps, air, and #cooling #compressors (including from Ghent University, IEC, and AMCA). 4️⃣ The Motor Systems Tool (MST) allows users to simulate annual #costs, compare energy demands before and after system changes, and evaluate systems under #EU #Ecodesign standards. 5️⃣ Regular updates align the MST with new legislation. Upcoming updates will incorporate the EU Ecodesign regulation 2024/1834 for fans (adopted 3 July 2024) and expected updates for water pumps by mid-2025. 6️⃣ Developed on LabVIEW and running on Microsoft Windows, the tool features a visual dashboard for easy #simulations. Results and settings can be exported as an HTML page. 7️⃣ For Motor/Drive unit selection, #induction, #permanentmagnet and #synchronous #reluctance #motors are available. Users can manually input nameplate values, with a built-in validation to prevent unrealistic entries. 8️⃣ Real-life examples demonstrated: 👉 Pump application: With minimal input, the tool provides a complete analysis of the entire pump system. 👉 Fan application interpolation: Efficiency at any duty point is extrapolated from 12 representative duty points based on detailed fan curves, allowing full system calculations.

  • EMSA@eemods'24 The 13th international conference on Energy Efficiency in Motor Driven Systems (eemods) took place on 3 to 5 September in Lucerne, Switzerland. Like in previous years, EMSA members actively contributed to the conference programme. Roland Brüniger, EMSA Chair, delivered one of the keynotes during the conference Opening Plenary on how EMSA supports the energy transition in the electric motor sector. Following an introduction on how EMSA works and what the collaboration stands for, he highlighted work results of the past few years and gave an outlook on the topics EMSA intends to work on in the coming five years. In a session dedicated to digitalisation, EMSA members Konstantin Kulterer and Rita Werle presented key findings from EMSA work in this area. With regard to barriers and solutions to increase energy efficiency of electric motor systems by digitalisation, some policies and EMSA’s recommendations for policy makers were shown, as well as a few concrete examples for the digitalisation of motor systems. Concerning the energy consumption of digitalisation, EMSA looked into five concrete cases and analysed in detail the components and magnitude of the energy consumed due to the use of digital solutions. This study came to the conclusion that energy savings achieved through the digitalisation of motor systems far outweigh the additional energy consumption resulting from the digitalisation process. Maarten van Werkhoven, EMSA Platform Manager, presented progress with regard to the coordination of relevant IEC and ISO standards for motor systems, under the umbrella of the Joint Advisory Group JAG22 Optimized Energy and Power Consumption of Electric Driven Machine Units. Peter Radgen from the University of Stuttgart presented progress with the EMSA international Round Robin testing programme for air compressors. EMSA members were active as session chairs and also as members of the International Programme Committee of eemods’24.
