Energy Efficient Motors- Successful case studies

1. Energy Efficient Motors- Successful case studies A.V.Bhalerao, Chief Technology Officer – Motors & Drives EnCon , Chennai 3rd Sept. 2010

2. Why have high efficiency motors • Save energy – this is a national priority • Reduce operating cost • Reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions

3. Energy Efficient Motors A National Priority • 70 % of all electrical energy consumed in India is used for driving electric motors • 55 % of which is consumed by industrial motors

4. Consumption of Electricity by Sector A saving of 1 or 2 % by industry can save 500 MW

5. Initial Cost of an 11 kW motor is only 3.9% in the first year of operation Purchase Cost (Rs), 19,261/-, 3.9% Annual Energy Cost (Rs) 4,94,382/-, 96.1% Assumptions:Efficiency Eff2 : 89.0% (BBL) Energy cost: Rs 5 per kWH Working: 8000 hrs pa

6. Life Cycle Cost of a Motor • In one year, a motor consumes energy equivalent to 10 to 25 times its purchase price • Many consumers in India especially OEMs purchase cheap motors having low efficiency values

7. National Standard for Energy Efficient Motors • IS 12615: 2004 (First Revision) Energy Efficient Induction Motors — Three Phase Squirrel Cage • IS 12615 covers Energy Efficient motors from 0.37kW to 160kW (up to Fr. 315L) • IS 12615 specifies two efficiency levels : - eff2 and eff1

8. IS 12615: 2004 (First revision) - superior to existing Std. IS 8789 • To be considered as energy efficient, a motor must conform to one of the following efficiency levels specified in IS 12615: • Improved Efficiency (eff2) • High Efficiency (eff1) • eff1 efficiency levels are higher than those of eff2 • Both eff1 & eff2 are higher than the nominal values specified in IS 8789: 1996

9. Why does IS 12615 specify two efficiency levels? • User has the option to go for eff1 motor and save energy but at higher initial cost. It is strongly recommended to go for eff1 motor when utilization is high • The standard is hence user friendly since it has provided two levels of efficiency. This in line with other international standards like CEMEP

10. New IEC 60034-30 “Efficiency classes of single speed 3 phase cage induction motors” • Released in Sept.2008 • New classes defined: IE1, IE2, IE3 and IE4 • Testing as per IEC 60034-2-1 • IE1 and IE2 : Slightly lower than eff2 and eff1 (to compensate for new • testing method in which stray losses are higher)

11. Comparison of eff & IE classes

12. Comparison of efficiencies of Standard & Energy Efficient Motors Output 4 Pole IS 8789 eff2 as per IS 12615 eff1 as per IS 12615 0.75 kW 71.0% 73.0% 82.5% 1.5 kW 76.0% 78.5% 85.0% 3.7 kW 83.0% 84.0% 88.3% 11 kW 85.5% 88.4% 91.0% 18.5kW 87.0% 90.0% 92.2% 37 kW 88.5% 92.0% 93.6% 75 kW Not specified 93.6% 94.7% 110 kW Not specified 94.4% 95.2% 160 kW Not specified 95.0% 95.8% Efficiency values are subject to tolerance as per IS325

13. Bharat Bijlee Range of eff1 & eff2 motors. • eff2 and eff1 motors are offered by Bharat Bijlee ex-stock • Bharat Bijlee also offers a complete range of eff1 customised motors orders with a lead time of 8 weeks • Bharat Bijlee does not manufacture motors of efficiency class less than eff2

14. Energy Efficient Motors for Hazardous Areas • BBL has standard catalogued energy efficient series motors for use in hazardous areas • Type MD – Flameproof Ex(d) eff2 • Type MJ – Flameproof Ex(d) eff1 • Type ME – Increased Safety Ex(e) eff2 • Type MI – Increased Safety Ex(e) eff1 • Type MN – Non Sparking Ex(n) eff2 • Type MS – Non Sparking Ex(n) eff1

15. Energy Efficient Motors- Flameproof, Increased Safety &Non sparking motors • eff1 motors can also be offered against customer requirement with a lead time of 8 to 10 weeks • In a few eff1 outputs, next higher frame size is required

16. Why is the Energy Efficient motor more expensive? • eff1 motors are generally priced 5 - 15 % higher than eff2 motors • More laminations - longer core length and/or • High Grade (low loss) laminations • More Copper Rs

17. How is efficiency improved? Reduce Iron Loss Reduce Copper Loss Reduce Stator Cu Loss Reduce Rotor Cu Loss Increase Copper Section Stator slot area Reduce Flux Density Increase Rotor bar section Increased Starting current Speed Low Loss Magnetic matl. Increase Reduce Stator Yoke Rotor Dia Reduced Starting Torque Core length has to be increased to maintain starting torque

18. Energy Efficient Motors have a Flat Efficiency Vs Load Characteristic • Motor rating is selected for max. load conditions and next preferred rating • Most motors operate on an average around 75% load Efficiency is almost same from 60% to 100% load in a well designed EE motor

19. eff2 motor gives savings over an IS 8789 motor IS 8789 eff2 Purchase Price of 11kW/4P motor Rs 17510 19261 Efficiency 85.5% 89.0% Energy consumption p.a. for 8000 Hrs @ Rs 5 per kWh 5,14,620 4,94,382 Energy Saving p.a. Rs 20,238 Additional purchase price Rs 1751 Pay Back Period of eff2 motor is 1.0 month for a 10% price increase over an IS 8789 motor

Total Energy saving per annum : Rs 11365 Additional Price of eff1 motor over eff2 motor : Rs 2888 Payback Period is 3.0 Months

22. Energy Savings Ready Reckoner

23. Energy Efficient Motors- Speed and Starting current • Due to reduced rotor losses, speed is higher.(5-15rpm) • The driven equipment ( fan / pump ) should be designed accordingly • Due to reduced rotor and stator resistance, starting current is higher. This can go to 700 % in eff1 motors. • When used with a VVVF drive, this does not matter as the drive takes care. • In other cases, this should be taken care during system design.

24. Nameplates - marking of Efficiency BB High Efficiency Motor Bharat Bijlee EE motors are clearly labeled “Eff 1 or Eff2”

25. When Should I Consider an eff1 motor • More than 4000 hours of operation per annum • New installations, typically HVAC systems and process industries • Replace with eff1 instead of rewinding old motors • - rewinding increases iron and stray losses • As part of a preventive maintenance or energy conservation plan

26. Intermittent duty applications….? • Intermittent duty motors are typically used in crane, hoist, valve actuators and other applications with frequent starts • In these applications, motors are designed for low starting losses rather than low running losses For intermittent duty applications EE motors are not the best choice

27. Problems in field testing • Efficiency measurement at site is unreliable. • One needs to decouple the load in order to measure no load losses • Variable voltage supply required in order to maintain rated voltage • We recommend measurement of kWh using a energy meter and compare two motors • Measurement of current is not a reliable indicator. Current is not directly proportional to input power because power factor varies with load and voltage

28. Finance help • Are there any financing or leasing schemes for EE Motors? • Yes, IREDA and other financial companies such as ICICI, IDBI,SBI etc. have schemes • that can help you to acquire EE motors. (courtesy – web site of – International Copper • Promotion Council India)
