Energy efficiency is a hot topic today • Both customers and governements are asking energy efficient solutions • Customers are focusing to they key processes • ABB motors and drives bring state of the art efficiency features to market • How ABB and customer can together cool down this hot topic?
CO2 effects on temperature and sea level • Models of a system as complex as the global climate cannot, of course, offer accurate predictions, but do at least reduce levels of uncertainty.
Global CO2 emissions -> 2050 • CO2 emissions can be returned towards current levels by using a portofolio of technologies Source: IEA Energy Technology Perspective 2006
CO2 emission reduction -> 2050 • Energy efficiency plays the most important role in CO2 emission reductions, accounting for up to 53% of total CO2 emission reductions Source: IEA Energy Technology Perspective 2006

What wastes energy? • Oversized installations (motors, pumps, fans etc.) • Inefficient motor applications • Equipment running unnecessarily long hours • Stirrers on empty tanks • Deadheading pumps • Ventilation fans running 24/7 • …and 1001 other applications
Control methods for pumps • Throttling • Bypassing • Variable speed • On/off control
ABB drives save energy • The installed base of ABB drives saved about 130 TWh in 2006, equivalent to the consumption per year of more than 32 million families. • ABB’s installed base of ABB low voltage drives reduced CO2 emissions in 2006 by 109 million ton, more than the yearly emission of Finland.

Energy audit • With energy audits customer can achieve higher energy savings thanks to ABB competence • Optimizing customer process together with ABB audit team bring optimal results
Step 1 - Introduction • Meeting with customer responsible person – well known • Explain of scope of the audit • Explain the assistance he needs • Entrance to technology • Help with some special measurements
Step 2 - Information • Collecting the information about audited technology • Selecting of applicable drives (pumps, fans, conveyors, blowers,..) • Rating plate parameters of motors and driven equipments
Step 3 - Measurements • Determination of actual demand from technology • Measuring of electrical parameters voltage, current, power, power factor,... • Measuring of process parameters pressure, flow, speed, temperature,... • Measurements are optional
Step 3 - Measurements • With actual measurements it is easy to prove savings • Easy approach, one phase current measurement • Example: Becker extract fan, UK • Before, 68A average • After, 49A average
Step 4 - Analyze • Make calculation using ABB software - PumpSave, FanSave • Consultation with equipment producer about possibility to use VSD • Technology suitability • Identifying the potential savings
Step 5 - Report • Data evaluation - Recommendations • List of audited equipments • Preparing of action plan for savings implementation • Report for decicion makers having economical backround, more EURs than kWh’s • List of other benefits using AC drives
