Motor Driven Systems, Audit and Analysis

About This Course

Electric motor driven systems (MDS) account for over 50% electricity consumption. MDS can be inefficient and costly to operate if they are not properly designed, selected, and maintained. Facility and operation managers can avoid unnecessary energy wastage by selecting MDS that are well suited to their applications and making sure that they are well maintained. Cost-effective design, operation, and maintenance of a MDS requires attention not just to individual piece of equipment but to the total system performance which necessitates an analysis of the interaction of both the supply and demand sides

The main objectives of this 40-hour training programme are to enable participants to:
(a)    gain in-depth knowledge and skills to identify and evaluate energy conservation opportunities involving motor-driven equipment
(b)   implement facility energy management programme involving motor-driven equipment
(c)    familiarize with current and emerging energy-efficient motors, the associated power electronics, and control technologies
(d)   design energy efficient motor-driven systems through theory-based calculations, and the appropriate sizing and selection of energy efficient components, such as fans and pumps
(e)    evaluate system performance of MDS taking account of interactions of both supply and demand sides, and be able to deploy cost-effective measures to improve energy performance
(f)     conduct performance evaluation and energy audit of motor-driven systems through authentic learning with hands-on practical sessions
