INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY
The International Energy Agency (IEA), an autonomous agency, was established in November 1974.Its primary mandate was and is two-fold: to promote energy security amongst its membercountries through collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply, and provide authoritative
research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy for its 28 membercountries and beyond. The IEA carries out a comprehensive programme of energy co-operation amongits member countries, each of which is obliged to hold oil stocks equivalent to 90 days of its net imports.The Agencys aims include the following objectives:
Secure member countries access to reliable and ample supplies of all forms of energy; in particular,through maintaining effective emergency response capabilities in case of oil supply disruptions.
Promote sustainable energy policies that spur economic growth and environmental protectionin a global context particularly in terms of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions that contributeto climate change.
Improve transparency of international markets through collection and analysis ofenergy data.
Support global collaboration on energy technology to secure future energy supplies
and mitigate their environmental impact, including through improved energyefficiency and development and deployment of low-carbon technologies.
Find solutions to global energy challenges through engagement anddialogue with non-member countries, industry, international
organisations and other stakeholders.IEA member countries:

The largestproportionofmotorelectricityconsumption isattributabletomidsizemotorswith
outputpowerof0.75kW to375kW.Manydifferentmotor technologiesanddesign typesare
available,butasynchronousalternatingcurrent(AC) inductionmotorsaremostfrequentlyused
and consume the most energy. These motors are either sold to original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) and integrated into prepackaged electromechanical products (such as
pumps,fans,compressors,etc.)orsoldasstandalonemotorsthatfinalcustomersthenintegrate
into a specific application on site. Such standalonemotors are produced in large volumes,
accordingtostandardised inputpowerandsizespecifications,withvaryingchannels tomarket
and integration into electromechanical systems. This has a significant impact on the type of
barrierstoadoptionofenergyefficientsolutionsforEMDSand,hence,onthemostappropriate
policypackagestoovercomesuchbarriers.
Motors inthemidsize rangearemostcommonly found in industrialapplications,buttheyare
also widely used in commercial applications, infrastructure systems and, less often, in the
residential sector. Ingeneral, theirmainapplicationsaremechanicalmovement, compressors,
pumpsandfans,which inturnhavemanytypesofsubapplication.Atpresent,mostOECDand

about23%ofallmotorpowerconsumption,makingthemverysignificantconsumersofglobal
power(about10.4%).ThesemotorsarenotcurrentlysubjecttoMEPSinanypartoftheworld.
Inelectricmotordrivensystems,someenergylossesoccurinthemotoritself,butenergylosses
are greater in the rest of the mechanical system to which themotor is coupled. A typical
electromechanicalsystem involvesamotor,anelectricalcontrolsystem,avariablespeeddrive
(VSD)andamechanicalload.Themagnitudeofenergylossesdependsontheapplicationandthe
degree towhichanadvancedtechnicalsolution isused.Foranygivenpower rating, there isa
differenceofonlyafewpercentagepointsinenergyefficiencybetweenaveragemotorsandthe
mostefficientmotorsonthemarket.
Smallmotors are less efficient than higherpoweredmotors. Large losses can occur due to
mismatches between the output power of fixedspeed motors and the mechanical power
demands of the electromechanical system. This is especially true whenmotors are used in
mechanicalapplicationswithvariablemechanicalpowerneeds,whichhaveahighlynonlinear
relationshipbetween inputpowerandmechanical load (torqueandspeed)andanexponential
relationshipbetweeninputpowerandmechanicalpower(e.g.pumps,fansandcompressors).In
thiscase,therecanbeverysignificantsavingsfromusingvariablefrequencydrives(VFDs)with

Foranygivenoutputpower rating, there is currentlya spreadof severalpercent inefficiency

over 100%,but endusers rarelydemandHEM applications,due to ahostofmarketbarriers.
Mandatory regulations are usually the best way to ensure significant and timely market
penetrationofHEMs.
Policyintervention

stimulate
significant
savings
Overall,thisanalysisfindsthatusingthebestavailablemotorswilltypicallysaveabout4%to5%
ofallelectricmotorenergyconsumption.Linkingthesemotorswithelectromechanicalsolutions
thatare costoptimised for theenduserwill typically saveanother15%to25%.Thepotential
exists to costeffectively improve energy efficiency ofmotor systems by roughly 20% to30%,
whichwouldreducetotalglobalelectricitydemandbyabout10%.
Thethreemajorroutestoachievingthesesavingsare:
Useofproperlysizedandenergyefficientmotors.
Useofadjustablespeeddrives(ASDs)2,whereappropriate,tomatchmotorspeedandtorque
to the systemmechanical load requirements. Thismakes it possible to replace inefficientthrottling devices and, in some cases with directdrive, to avoid wasteful mechanical
transmissionsandgears.
Optimisation of the complete system, including correctly sized motor, pipes and ducts,efficient gears and transmissions, and efficient enduse equipment (fans, pumps,
compressors,traction,andindustrialhandlingandprocessingsystems)todelivertherequired
energyservicewithminimalenergylosses.
Withoutpolicyintervention,manybarriersmakeitdifficultorimpossibletorealisethesesavings
in thecurrentmarketenvironment. Inunregulatedmarkets,purchasers tend tounderinvest in
higherefficiencyoptionsandchooseelectricmotorsystemswithalowfirstcost.Thisoccursfora
varietyofreasons,including:
Lackofawarenessamongmotorpurchasersof thepotential forenergyandcostsavingsbyusingmoreefficientmotorswithinenergyefficientEMDS.
Company organisational structures that manage their equipment procurement budgetseparatelyfromoperationsandmaintenancebudgets.
The factthatmotorsareoften integrated intoequipmentproducedbyOEMsbeforesaletothefinalenduser.
To overcome these barriers,many countries (now comprising over onethird of the worlds
population)haveadoptedMEPSforthemainclassof industrialelectricmotors.Morecountries

Aboveall,itisessentialtoscaleuptheoperationsandresourcescommittedtorealisingthevast
savingspotentialofoptimisedEMDS.Bycomparisonwithothersustainableenergyopportunities,
the energy efficiency of EDMS has been relatively neglected, and nowhere do such systems
currentlybenefit from the scale of support that isoffered to sustainable supplysideoptions.
While governments are starting to become more proactive on this issue, and many have
implemented someusefulpolicymeasures,nonehas yetput inplace the resourcesorpolicy

be of the order of 3890TWh in electricity demand, 2490Mtof CO2 emissions and
USD264billioninelectricitycosts.
Comprehensiveintegratedpolicypackage
To help realise the tremendous potential for costeffective energy savings in electric
motordriven systems, governments should consider, as a firstmeasure, adoptingmandatory
MEPSforelectricmotors,inlinewithinternationalbestpractice,subjecttodueprocessandcost
effectivenessanalysis.
These standards shouldapply toasmany typesand sizesofelectricmotor as it is feasible to
address and should not be confined to midsize asynchronous AC motors sold as separatecomponents.Thelevelofthesestandardsshouldbesetatnolowerthantheleastlifecyclecost,
which isgenerallyat IE33orhigherformidsizeasynchronousAC inductionmotors.Even larger
energy savings canbeachievedbyusingVFDs,whichdynamicallymatch theoutputpowerof
motor systems to thepowerdemandedby thedrive train.Furthersavingscanbeachievedby
using efficient transmission and gear systems, and through better sizing andmanagement of
electricmotordrivensystems.
Overallitisestimatedthatitiscosteffectivetosaveabout20%to30%oftotalglobalelectricmotor
demand (i.e.roughly 10%of all globalelectricity consumption) through theuseofmore efficient
electricmotorsanddrives.Achievingsuchsavingswillrequireindividualandconcertedactiononthe
partofallplayers,includingregulators,policymakersandstandardsdevelopmentagencies.
It is proposed that IEA member countries and nonmember economies apply a market
transformation package based on the portfolio of energy performance policies set out in the
followingpackageofpolicyrecommendations:
Regulatorypolicymeasures
1. MEPSshouldbe introduced in IEAmembercountries in linewith internationalbestpractice
for allmajor classes of electricmotors. They should not be set at levels less than IE3 for
asynchronous motors. These requirements should apply to motors sold individually or
integratedintoprepackagedelectricmotordrivensystems,andshouldapplytomotorswith
aswidearangeofoutputpowerasispracticable(100Wto1000kW).

2. Regulatorymeasures,suchasMEPSandenergylabelling,shouldbeintroducedforpackaged
integrated motordriven energy enduses between 100W and 1000kW, including fans,
pumps,circulationpumpsandcompressorsthatareproducedinsufficientlylargevolumesto
havesignificantenergyconsumption.
3. Regulators, policymakers and standardsdevelopment agencies should ensure that energy
performancetestproceduresaredevelopedforallmotortypesthatusesignificantamounts
ofelectricityandarenotcoveredbyexistinginternationallyagreedtestprocedures.
4. Regulators, policy makers and standards development agencies should commission the
development and application of energyperformance test procedures to cover other
essential components of electricmotordriven systems, including transmissions, gears and
system controldevices (e.g.VFDs). In addition,efforts should bemade todevelop energy
performance test procedures and guidelines that apply to whole electric motor system

Electricmotorsarefoundintheindustrial,commercial,residential,agriculturalandtransportation
sectors.
In the residential sector, motors are used for compression (in refrigerators and airconditioners), ventilation (to power fans); pumping (to power central heating system
circulation andhot and coldwater pumps); cooking appliances (foodmixers,whisks,oven
fans, extractorhoods); laundry; cleaning; ICT (hard disks and fans) and garden appliances.

Theefficiencyofmotorsdependsbothon their sizeand theirefficiencyquality,which canbe
characterised by efficiency classes. For small motors, size is the most important factor in
determiningefficiency;forlargemotors,efficiencyclassesarerelativelymoreimportant.In2008,

In recentyears,market shareofmoreefficientmotorshasbeen increasing inmany regionsand

In Canada, the energy efficiency of motors is the responsibility of the ministry of Natural
Resources Canada (NRCan). In 1994, the Energy Efficiency Actwas implemented and in 1997
Canadas EnergyEfficiencyRegulations forGeneral Purpose IndustrialMotors came into effect
(Figure5).In1999,explosionproofandintegralgearmotors(whicharenotcoveredintheUnited

According to IEA statistics, global electricity productionwas 19000TWh in 2006 and annual
electricity consumption forallenduse sectorswas15600TWh. Informationaboutnonmotorelectricityconsumptionisavailablefromseveralotherstudies:lighting(Waide,2006);residential

Demandbymotorsector
The IEAmaintains a wellestablished database of national electricity consumption by major
enduse sectors, but does not differentiate electricity consumption by application or electric
motorapplication.
Global electricity demand for every type of electric motor can be estimated via a top
downcalculation.

Clearly,therelevanceofmotorsandmotorsystemsislargestintheindustrialsector(about70%
intheEuropeanUnion,about60% inSouthAfrica[MthombeniandSebitosi,2008]),butalso in
the commercial sector,where its share of energy use reaches almost 40% (DeAlmeida etal.,
2008a).Notethatthistopdownanalysisdoesnotdiscriminatebetweenmotortypesanduses;it
includes all kinds of electricmotors operated on the electricity grid. Some types ofmotors
(e.g.those used in vehicles, very small and very large motors, and motors included in
appliances,etc.) are not the focus of the current study; their energy consumptionmust be

The results represent a rough topdown estimate, but they do give a first indication of the
relevanceofmotorelectricityusebycountry:
Witha shareof64%, industry consumes themostpower for electricmotorised applications(Figure11).Thenextmostimportantsectorsarethecommercialsector(accountingfor20%of

The electricity consumed bymotors was greatest in China, the European Union and theUnitedStates.Thesethreeeconomiesaccountforabout50%oftotalglobalmotorelectricity
consumption. IfCanada, India, JapanandRussiaare included, theseeconomiesaccount for
abouttwothirdsoftheworldwidemotorelectricitydemand.
Globally, thecombinationofallkindsofmotorelectricitydemand isestimated tobeabout45%.Among the countries considered, the respective share varies between 38% and 54%
(China)withoneexceptionof31%(SaudiArabia).

Demandbymotorsize
In termsofnumbersof runningmotors (installed stock), smallmotorsare themost common:
2billion out of an estimated global total of 2.23billion are rated at less than 0.75kW. The
relatively few large motors account for a considerable share of overall motor electricity
consumption (Wikstrm, 2009). However, it is estimated thatmediumsizemotors consume
almostthreequartersoftheglobalelectricitydemandofallmotors(Table15).
