Energy Saving Projects
Isn’t worthwhile to include in the design of any motor today additional equipment that saves you a lot of money in terms of energy consumption? According to research facts, sixty-five percent of electrical energy of industries is consumed by motors. Variable speed drive is created to suit this purpose. A variable speed drive is a form of an energy saving project wherein this piece of equipment is used to regulate the rotational force and speed or torque output of an electric motor. This energy saving project has bought about 115 million megawatt hours of electricity savings and also reduced carbon dioxide emission by 97 million tons per year.
The Pro-Energy AC Variable Speed Drives has a whole range of variable speed drive products that suits every size of motors in the industry. Among the range of sought-after variable speed drive in the market today is the Vacon speed drive. Consider this computation: if a 110 kwh motor is run at its 100% speed, 250 days a year at 10 hours per day and at 5 pence per kilowatt hour, the total electricity consumption cost will be ₤13,750.00. A motor with a Vacon variable speed drive will have the following computation:
- 100% speed for 25% of the time:
110kW * (1.00*1.00*1.00) * 625hrs * £0.05 = £ 3,437.50 - 80% speed for 50% of the time:
110kW * (0.80*0.80*0.80) * 1250hrs * £0.05 = £ 3,520.00 - 50% speed for 25% of the time:
110kW * (0.50*0.50*0.50) * 625hrs * £0.05 = £ 429.67 - £ 3,437.50 + £ 3,520.00 + £ 429.67 = £ 7,387.19
Using the speed drive, the company can save as much as ₤6,362.81 in electricity cost per year. Order a Vacon Speed Drives at Pro-Energy AC Variable Speed Drivers and they’ve got a whole range of Valcon products you can choose from.
