Key findings on digitalisation technologies to increase energy efficiency in electric motor driven systems
Worldwide, electric motor systems consume about 10,700 TWh annually worldwide and were responsible for 53% of the global electric energy consumption in 2016. This corresponds to approximately the combined electricity consumption of China. Digitalization technologies for electric motor driven systems will have a significant impact on the motor systems industry, offering vast potential for improvements in performance, efficiency, and cost. To enable industry to select the best solutions for their specific needs, a classification of digitalisation technologies is beneficial to map use cases and allow for camparison amongst them.
