Key findings of the international round robin testing programme for Variable Speed Drives
July 26, 2023
The summary of key findings is now available in a new Policy Brief.
Collaborative research and development activities are undertaken within the 4E Annexes, connecting governments with experts and industry. Each target technology areas with a large potential for energy savings where a sustained focus builds knowledge and networks.
The summary of key findings is now available in a new Policy Brief.
A new PECTA paper has been published. This paper focuses on the effects of incorporating GaN components for energy conversion on the product design and the resulting environmental impacts
EMSA will host a workshop on ‘digitalisation in industrial electric motor driven systems’ on 19 September 2023.
This Policy Brief summarises the key findings of the international Round Robin for Variable Speed Drives.
This paper presents the outcomes of the work from PECTA Task B, Energy and environmental related Life Cycle Assessment, conducted between January 2022 and February 2023. See more information
Summarises the EDNA report which examined battery technologies for consumer electronics. Considers performance, environmental impacts, cost and market readiness.
The accurate and repeatable testing of products is a basic requirement for energy efficiency programmes and therefore improving tests for variable capacity air conditioners & heat pumps is important. It is particularly timely given the growth in these types of products. 4E is examining potential changes to relevant test procedures culminating in a round robin within 4E countries which will be completed at the end of 2022.
As part of an ongoing investigation, 4E launched a new project in 2021 to better understand the real and current barriers to regulatory policies for systems in 4E jurisdictions. Based on three case studies, the project will focus on Australia, Canada, the EU and Japan.
Additionally, the project will quantify the total savings potential from the implementation of policies for energy-using systems.
This global assessment of the benefits of standards and labelling programmes is the result of collaborative research between 4E and the IEA. Published in 2021 during the lead-in to COP26 it supports the case for increased investment in these programmes to deliver on international climate commitments.
NewsThis report provides the strategic vision of experts from the IEA Technology Collaboration Programmes (TCPs) on how to help achieve some of the most impactful short-term milestones for the buildings sector outlined in the IEA’s Net
Growth in energy use by household appliances shows no signs of decelerating, yet only one-third of appliance energy use today is covered by mandatory performance standards.
Like other forms of traditional flexibility, demand-side flexibility is largely centralised and restricted to large industrial or commercial consumers. 2019 was a mixed year for demand-response …
