Abstract

Replacing standard motors with efficient motors in new installations[1,2], using variable speed drives [3], and introducing power saving equipment, such as optimized efficiency soft starters [4,5], are leading technologies that are recommended to save energy and in many cases improve the performance of the drive system. One main disadvantage of these technologies is the initial higher cost of the new technology compared to the exclusive use of standard motors[1, 2]. This study addresses economical, environmental and performance issues related to the application of energy efficient motor drive systems in the Egyptian industrial and agriculture sectors. Such issues include energy savings, harmonic, cost analysis, custom duties and greenhouse gas reductions.
