Global Development: Increase of Energy Demand

source: Siemens PTD

where will we getour electrical energy from in the future ?

we should have a goal

even if we are not convinced we will gain it

there is a discussion in Germany the 5 * 20 model : 20 % nuclear power 20 % fossile power 20 % renewable power 20 % biomass / biogas 20 % energy savings

Workshop IFEC 2009The 2009 International Future Energy ChallengeTM

Energy Saving Potential in Industry(in Germany)

26,5 % heat dissipation 5 % lighting 68,5 % mechanical energy (electrical drives)

2,2 % energy saving potential motor efficiency 9 % energy saving potential

Topic B Topic A

is that a lot ???in Europe that would savea complete nuclear plant !!!

Saving Energy is our Main Issue for the Next Decade(s)

• energy consumption is globally increasing a significant part of the needed energy is electrical energy

• 25 – 40 % of that could be saved that is more than necessary to meet the demands of the Kyoto Protocol !!

• to achieve that power electronics and system control must be used more effectively

• higher cost for electronic circuits prevents industry (as well as ourselves) from doing that

• cost reduction in power electronics and industrial electronicssupports introduction of energy saving technologies

Workshop IFEC 2009The 2009 International Future Energy ChallengeTM

Discussion Issues• what are the problems in industry

in using energy saving technologies ? • can academics do more to encourage industry ?• where are the fields of future investigations ?

– control schemes– component design– system design

• is industry willingto invest resources in researching these areas ?

Topic (A) : Integrated Starter/Alternator-Motor Drive for Automotive Applications:

Topic (B) : Low Cost Wind Turbine Energy Maximizer:

Saving Energy in Transportation by increasing efficiency by reducing weight

The Future Energy Challenge Competitionsupports us in getting a step further

Saving Energy by using renewable energy by using sophisticated control
