Heribert Joachim 2nd edition, 2014 Energy efficiency in industrial application leveraging potential savings in electrical drive engineering Introduction Energy efficiency is a hot topic. In recent years, politics and business have made every endeavour to save energy in production systems and reduce CO2 emissions in the industrial sector. Remarkable success has been achieved in many areas, but it is still far too soon for us to rest on our laurels. There is still great energy-saving potential, particularly in electrical drive engineering. This potential can be most effectively exploited in the intelligent use of automation technology combined with motor starters or frequency drives. The key factor here is selecting the right solution for each application. Energy consumption 2011* by sector and energy source FEC households Hard coal and lignite 15 TWh Mineral oil production 132 TWh Heat from renewable energies 77 TWh German industry is responsible for around 30% of all final energy consumption in the country (see fig. 1). Two thirds of this figure are used for process heat. Mechanical energy makes up a quarter of consumption, while room heat is responsible for only a minor share of total consumption1. 54% of final energy demand in industry comes from the goods-producing industry2.
