Drive to a Greener Future: Energy and Cost Savings Using Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Technology - (PPT)

摘要

Energy efficiency is a systemic approach. Motors represent one of the single largest consumers of energy in industry today. Energy is wasted in motor systems due to inefficient and ineffective control methods primarily in two areas: 1). Mechanical flow control (pumps, fans, compressors) 2). Wasted energy recovery (regeneration of braking energy or inertial energy). Installation of VSD's Results in: 1) Energy Savings: Precise process and power factor control and optimal energy use = saved $$; Ultimately results in lower carbon emissions and legitimately supports "green" initiatives, thereby promoting social responsibility. 2) Reduced maintenance costs and down time due to decreased mechanical stress 3) Lower Total Cost of Quality - Less mechanical wear and precise control means products can be produced more accurately more frequently. 4) Exceptional ROI when factoring in incentives, rebates and financing options.
