Energy Efficiency Track
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Using energy more efficiently is arguably the fastest, most sustainable and cheapest way to reduce emissions and enhance global energy security.
Industry consumes about 42 percent of all electricity generated, according to the International Energy Agency. Automation technologies can help achieve energy savings at every step of energy consumption , by helping factories and facilities run more productively with state-of-the-art control systems, automation products and electrical equipment. Increasing productivity typically leads to lower wastages and therefore lower energy consumption per manufactured unit.
Hundreds of electric motors driving machines, compressors, fans, pumps or conveyors in virtually all plants account for about 67 percent of all the electricity industry uses. More than 90 percent of these motors either cannot adjust their power consumption, or use only crude and grossly inefficient ways to do so. The vast majority are also oversized. That is because companies commonly buy more powerful motors than are actually needed as a “buffer,” to protect them from power spikes and uncontrolled overload. An intelligent, integrated motor control and load management systemallows businesses to manage the status, condition and energy consumption of all the motors in a plant, which means they can install smaller motors that consume far less energy, knowing their investment is monitored and protected. Life cycle costs are vastly lowered while return on invested is greatly enhanced.
